Traveling to bet will be a thing of the past as players in this region begin to enjoy betting at their convenience. Connecticut neighbors better start looking out for events they can cross over to participate in.

Evolution is proof of the industry’s commitment to provide their customers with an advanced technological gaming experience that will offer users a top-tier experience for the players who are eligible. The Governor is keen on having the residents as well as visitors with an unparalleled gaming experience. The focus is not only to entertain those players who reside in the state but also to make Connecticut the choice destination for bettors who are looking to travel for purposes of gambling. 

Over the past few decades, the people of Connecticut have consistently supported the gambling industry in the state making the industry a high flyer among regions that are performing well in the sector. In a recent press release, Lamont appreciated the addition of Evolution as a key component in the provision of modern and technologically forward gaming experiences. Eligible residents of Connecticut as well as visitors from neighboring states are in for an elevated user experience from operators within this jurisdiction. By exposing the people of this state to an expansive gaming industry, gaming enthusiasts can engage in responsible betting. 

The release also provided insight into the company’s plans to staff its new gaming studios. A total of 140 workers have already been hired and this figure is expected to go up to 400 to cater to the growing number of players. The state laws in Connecticut dictate that any gambling business operating in the area must be run out of a physical facility so that it is practical to include live dealer games in their product offerings. 

Gaming through DraftKings and FanDuel

For now, the guests of Evolution will only be able to experience roulette and blackjack but there are plans for expansion in the future. The plan is to have more live dealer games in an expansion effort that will see the casino achieve a full launch. This is the soft launch period and less is expected before the casino embarks on greater plans of offering more to its customers. 

There will be live dealer games available for those who have access to the DraftKings and FanDuel apps in Connecticut. This option definitely adds to the state’s plethora of live games and the list continues to grow. 

A few weeks ago, DraftKings Casino revealed to the gaming world that it would be offering Bragg Gaming options in Connecticut following a deal with the developer. Gaming enthusiasts in the state can now indulge in Bragg’s Spin Games RGS (remote game server) slots which include Ripley's Big Wheel and Galaxy Gaming’s 21 + 3 Progressive Blackjack.

During the first quarter of the year, DraftKings signed an agreement with Inspired Entertainment that would allow the betting operator to offer the developer’s games in the Nutmeg State. This has been received positively in the market and the fact that DraftKings is a trusted gambling brand definitely opens more doors for partners.
