Todd Haushalter Talks About What 2021 Has in Store from NetEnt

Published on 9th February 2021 by kirk

Since Evolution, the undisputed leader of the live casino sector, took control of NetEnt in 2020, it has formulated grand plans for 2021. By the end of last year, Evolution had launched a record 12 new games and is successfully progressing with expansion plans in Europe and the US. That includes a pioneering move in online live gaming by bringing the exciting dice game, Live Craps, to online casinos.

Rounding up a brilliant portfolio

This is the first time a software provider has increased its portfolio to offer every game that users could play in brick-and-mortar casinos. Players can enjoy an immersive and genuine Live Craps experience, with an easy mode for beginners to the game. There is also an interactive online tutorial to learn from as you play.

In the online version of Live Craps, the shooter is a robotic arm, so there is some separation from the dealer. This ensures that the dealer cannot be held responsible if the wager falls through. All that the leader does is load the dice into the robotic arm.

Evolution prepares to be ‘disruptive’ in the market

Following its SBC award in 2020 for Innovation in Casino Entertainment, Evolution has continued to concentrate on innovation and intends to be somewhat disruptive in 2021. Commenting on Evolution’s plans for this year, Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution Gaming, said:

“New technology will play a huge role moving forward, and we are watching virtual reality very closely, employing the use of artificial reality in our games now. Players love this, so we will be sure to do more of this in the future. The major trend today is that we live our lives on screens and this affects every aspect of our daily life. To stay current, especially in online gaming, you need to be disruptive. By producing a better product that incorporates the way people live, you can disrupt the industry’s space. Innovation is a constant objective of any company within the iGaming industry.”

The company plans to expand its range of immersive and engaging games to appeal to a broader spectrum of players. That includes the continuation of strong growth in the Asian market. Evolution will increase teamwork around all of its brands so that 2021 benefits from some of the biggest releases in online gaming.
