Evolution expands in Africa with Kiron Interactive integration

Evolution is expanding its African retail and online presence through a new distribution deal with Kiron Interactive.

Kiron Interactive will integrate Evolution’s full portfolio of live dealer, game show, RNG, and slot games onto its Betman iGaming platform, including content from NetEnt, Red Tiger, Ezugi, Big Time Gaming and Nolimit City.

The deal will leverage Kiron Interactive’s partnerships with major operators in more than 30 African countries.

“Evolution is delighted to partner with a well-known and respected brand like Kiron Interactive,” said Evolution Services CEO Dean Finder. “We are thrilled at the prospect of Kiron Interactive taking our exciting retail games, especially our recently launched iconic Evolution game show Dream Catcher, to the African retail market.

“We also see huge value in the online opportunity for Kiron Interactive to resell our online suite of live and slot games across Africa via their tier 1 platform, Betman.”

Kiron Interactive co-CEO Steven Spartinos commented: “We’re excited to bring fantastic content from Evolution’s dynamic and hugely popular portfolio to Africa for the first time with our Betman solution.

“Africa has long been a key market for us, and we’ve seen an incredibly strong performance that has given players a considerable amount of trust in Kiron Interactive’s products, so we’re thrilled to be able to use our platform to introduce such an esteemed provider to the region.”
