Evolution to start studio for live casino TV show in Belgium

Evolution Gaming, a premier producer of live casino games, is going to start a studio to launch a live casino TV show in Belgium for Ardent Group, a Liege-based company.

Ardent’s Circus TV show is broadcasted everyday for three hours midnight to 3:00 am in Belgium. In the programme, an anchor moves between Evolution-powered live casino tables and a sports area of the studio. The anchor will also interact with game players and sports bettors.

The Evolution studio is home to both a Live Speed Baccarat table, served by native speaking Flemish dealers, and a Slingshot Auto Roulette table. The Baccarat table operates during the TV show’s broadcast hours, while the Auto Roulette table is available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Viewers are able to see the Live Casino game action on TV while betting on their tablets and smartphones via game interfaces synchronised with these live games.

Jean-Christophe Choffray, Deputy CEO and Head of Gaming at Ardent Group, said: “This is an another exciting phase in the development of our group’s gaming portfolio. We already work in partnership with Evolution, streaming Live Casino services for multiple Belgium operators from our state-of-the-art live studio within Casino de Spa. We therefore had total confidence in selecting Evolution for this latest development of our Circus Casino brand.”

James Stern, Director of Land-based and Business Development at Evolution, added: “We are extremely proud to extend our great partnership with Ardent Group and, once again, to bring something new and innovative to the Belgian market.”

Founded in 1992 in Liege, Belgium, Ardent Group (formerly known as Circus Group) operates Casino de Spa, Grand Casino de Namur, 30 Circus Casino Games Rooms and three Casinos in France, as well as several online games platforms including Circus.be, 777.be and Pokerstars.be. Alongside its gaming and entertainment operations, the Group is involved in the fields of communication and commercial real estate, either directly or via partner companies.
