Evolution dominates with over 85% market share, while competitors like Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech Live, Ezugi, and Vivo Gaming are expanding rapidly.

Studio Operations & Expansion

Major live casino studios operate from Latvia (Riga), Malta, Romania (Bucharest), Georgia (Tbilisi), Philippines (Manila), Colombia, and the US (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan). Evolution alone operates over 2,000 live tables across multiple countries.
