Evolution has debuted its Video Poker game in the United States with its launch in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The live dealer game offers poker fans the opportunity to play up to 100 hands at once and choose from five paytables, and is an online recreation of the popular Video Poker terminal games that came to prominence in the 1980s.
“Whilst our online Video Poker is already live in Europe and other regions and doing very well indeed, this game has been designed with the US market very much in mind,” said Jacob Claesson, Evolution CEO for North America. “As such, we are expecting it to make a big impact with an online audience right across North America.
“Also, with the highest RTP (Return To Player) of all our poker games, we have found that the game is incredibly effective in attracting new players.”
Evolution has also rolled out First Person Video Poker, an RNG version of the game, which is available for players in New Jersey and West Virginia.
“What’s fascinating is that Video Poker was originally such a massive hit back in the day on gaming terminals,” continued Claesson. “Now we’ve completely reinvigorated the game for the 21st century.
“Our First Person RNG version of this game faithfully brings that retro gaming experience into the modern age. And then we have our live version, which brings a live dealer and real-time gameplay to the table and adds an exciting new dimension to the fun.”
