In a major step for its U.S. expansion strategy, Evolution has launched its portfolio of online slot games in Rhode Island through an extended agreement with Bally’s Corporation. This move marks Evolution’s official entry into the state and cements its presence in all seven U.S. jurisdictions currently offering regulated online casino gaming.
This development was made possible through a strategic deepening of the collaboration between Evolution and Bally’s, a partnership that now brings a broad array of Evolution’s popular slot titles—such as those from NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Big Time Gaming—into the Rhode Island market for the first time.
Strengthening Bally Casino’s Digital Offering
The extended deal doesn’t just open doors in Rhode Island; it also enhances Bally’s online casino offerings in other states. As part of the agreement, exclusive Bally’s-branded live dealer Blackjack tables have been launched in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These tables, accessible via the Bally Bet Casino app, feature seamless interface integration and are designed to deliver a premium, branded experience to users.
In addition to the live dealer options, players in these two states can now access an expanded library of Evolution’s latest high-performance slot games, further enriching their online gaming environment.
Jacob Claesson, CEO of Evolution North America, emphasized the significance of the milestone: “This agreement represents a significant step forward for both Evolution and Bally’s Corporation. We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Bally’s by delivering world-class gaming experiences and extend our reach into Rhode Island, a first for Evolution. This partnership showcases our shared commitment to driving innovation and providing exceptional entertainment for players.”
Exclusive Hasbro Deal Bolsters Evolution’s Brand Portfolio
Beyond its growing footprint with Bally’s, Evolution has also secured a landmark multi-year global licensing agreement with Hasbro, granting it exclusive rights to develop online slots and live casino games inspired by iconic Hasbro properties, including MONOPOLY.
The new deal builds on the companies’ successful history of collaboration. Evolution’s MONOPOLY-themed live games, MONOPOLY Live and MONOPOLY Big Baller, have already proven themselves as standout performers and remain among the most popular titles in the company’s live casino lineup.
The licensing arrangement allows Evolution to develop branded content under any of its existing game studios—NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City, Livespins, and Ezugi—ensuring widespread brand integration across diverse formats and markets, including the U.S.
This broad-based expansion strategy highlights Evolution’s intent to maintain its leading role in online gaming innovation by combining iconic brand partnerships with strategic market entry.
