Ezugi’s vice president for the Americas, Monica Umana, said the company looked forward to bringing its games to New Jerseyans via “one of the biggest names in the casino industry.” She added that Ezugi’s live casino games were already “hugely popular” in the northeastern US state, and that it would now offer “the same superior experience” to online players at Caesars Casino & Sportsbook New Jersey.

Umana also expanded on how live casino enables gamblers to savor the ambiance and interaction of traditional casino play, with the convenience of online play.

NetEnt shareholders accept Evolution’s takeover offer

Ezugi’s Garden State rollout marks a successful month for its parent brand Evolution. In a press release on November 23, the games provider announced that shareholders of 93.9% of the total number of shares in NetEnt had agreed to accept Evolution’s bid to take over the company and sell their shares.

The remaining shareholders have another chance to give their approval for Evolution’s offer by November 30.

In June 2020, the Latvia-based firm announced a bid of SEK19.6bn ($2.2bn) for NetEnt, a Sweden-based casino games developer. In September, however, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority announced it was going to look into the planned takeover, saying the deal could lead to a “substantial lessening of competition.” The investigation set back Evolution’s initial acquisition plans by a few months.
