Evolution has now widened its wingspan via a new deal with the Canadian British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) to add to its far-reaching international footprint.
High-roller casino players playing at the official BC online gambling entertainment site that operates as a British Columbia-licensed platform will now have the chance to grind on two brand-new high-limit live casino tables.
With the new deal already in place, VIP Baccarat and VIP Blackjack will give card shark whales looking for high-stakes live dealer entertainment the chance to bet big. And although the agreement is with the BCLC, both high-roller VIP games are available to Canadian casino players in Manitoba and Saskatchewan on top of British Columbia.
Both games will stream out of the live casino software provider’s Vancouver studio. For the full list of live casino studios by Evolution, check out the Evolution Gaming live casino guide.
Chief Commercial Officer: Jeff Millar said, “Our initial agreement with BCLC, over five years ago now, was instrumental in Evolution creating its Canadian live casino studio”.
VIP Blackjack and Baccarat
That very same studio will now house multiple tables with VIP Baccarat and Blackjack games now available. Each game comes with bets of up to C$5,000+ per round. That’s a fair whack of cash, but there are whales out there that see this amount as pocket change.
- VIP Blackjack: It is a S17 DAS 7-seat game with 8 decks in play and a 99.28% theoretical RTP. splits, doubles, hits on Split Aces, multi-hand options. You can also play the Perfect Pairs 21+3 side bet, plus there is insurance, which personally I recommend avoiding.
- VIP Baccarat: Baccarat is a simple game to play. It comes with ‘Player’, ‘Banker’, and ‘Tie’ bets. The VIP version has a theoretical RTP of 98.94%. This is also a special game because it uses unlimited tech so are never any queue times.

British Columbia Canada Since 2018
Evolution is undoubtedly known globally as one of the live casino iGaming vertical’s pioneering live dealer game software providers. And with its formidable approach to safe and trustworthy B2B gambling services, in 2018 the company made its way into Canada’s BC iGaming scene.
Its current casino game portfolio has more games than any other game developer in this iGaming niche. In fact, it is so impressive many of the brand’s competitors follow Evolution’s path to success when getting their live dealer brands off the ground. However, Evolution already possesses a substantial advantage and an extensive lead in the field, hence its ability to open studios across the globe. Hence its Vancouver studio gave the brand an early foothold in Canada’s BC province. The same studio also serves live casinos in Ontario.
It won’t be easy for competing casino game providers in the same niche to catch up. The likes of OnAir Entertainment, Skywind Group, and CreedRoomz have their work cut out, while Playtech is already on par with Evolution and the Pragmatic Play live dealer brand is not far off.

From Europe to the Americas
Evolution expanded quickly in Europe as the number one brand, while Microgaming headed to Asia with its live game portfolio. Although, the non-compete agreement must have expired because Microgaming made a comeback with its OnAir Entertainment brand prior to selling out to Games Global. And that ‘global’ tag comes because of its expansion across North America and South America adding to its European ventures. Already a firm fixture in Canada as well as South America.
