Live dealer games and technology provider Evolution Gaming has announced that it is extending its Dual Play presence with Rank Group plc with the installation of a bespoke multi-camera Dual Play Baccarat table at Grosvenor Casino The Victoria in London.
The Dual Play Baccarat table, Evolution’s first to go live internationally, joins The Vic’s existing Evolution Dual Play Roulette table, which went live in October.
Scheduled for launch in February 2018, this latest Dual Play table will be based on Evolution Speed Baccarat and operate 24/7. It will allow the casino’s land-based patrons and remote online players to play in the same games at the same baccarat table on The Vic’s gaming floor.
On-premise players will be able to play at the physical table and also at the same table on their smartphones or tablets when in the bar, in The Vic’s restaurant, The Dining Room, on their journey home or, indeed, from any internet-connected location.
At the same time, all other Grosvenor registered players will be able to play at the Dual Play Baccarat table on their connected devices. To promote this extended online offering across their estate, Grosvenor will stream the live Dual Play Baccarat game action to large screens at their other venues. Remote play at the table will be via both the Grosvenor website and the Grosvenor Live Casino app.
Additionally, Dual Play Baccarat live from The Vic will be available to other selected Evolution licensees as a 24/7 B2B service.
James Stern, director of business development and land-based sales at Evolution, said:
“This launch represents a significant extension of our Live Casino convergence offering. Baccarat has a unique mystique and a large, devoted and discerning player base worldwide. It translates very well to the Evolution Dual Play vision.”
Colin Cole-Johnson, director of digital and cross channel services at Rank Group, added:
“Following the success of Evolution Dual Play Roulette at The Vic, we were keen to extend our investment in Dual Play. Customers are appreciating the continuity of the in-casino experience that’s unique to Dual Play, also the high quality of the playing experience. Dual Play at The Vic has proved to be very popular, and we are now considering further Dual Play installations at our provincial clubs.”
