Ezugi, a subsidiary of European-based gaming technology company Evolution AB and a leading company in live dealer, has selected EZ Baccarat to place on its global platform in the U.S. and abroad.
“EZ Baccarat has been the market leader for over 17 years and on the strength of its brand continues to grow market share in the land-based casino market,” said Francisco “TJ” Tejeda, co-creator of EZ Baccarat. “There were other choices that use EZ Baccarat’s math in the marketplace, but we are very proud that EZ took the prize. It is clear this is a watershed moment for our player-pleasing game.
“On this new platform, on day one of launching EZ Baccarat it will attract tens of thousands of players who already play the game in land-based casinos,” Tejeda said. “Moreover, there are fans of the game who may have played it in North America but who have not had the chance to play from their home-country because it has not been available there.”
In 2023, The Talisman Group selected Galaxy Gaming to take over the distribution rights. In July 2024, Evolution announced its plan to acquire Galaxy for $85 million in cash. The deal will solidify Evolution’s position in the U.S. market.
Tejeda said that EZ Baccarat live dealer will be launched by Ezugi in New Jersey and other places where it’s licensed and igaming is a prominent part of the landscape. He said land-based casinos in New Jersey that have EZ Baccarat could have synergy by offering the EZ live dealer game on their online casinos; those include Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel & Casino, Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City, Golden Nugget Atlantic City, Borgata Atlantic City Hotel & Casino and Ocean Casino Resort.
In addition to North America, Ezugi has already launched EZ Baccarat live dealer on over 100 websites in Europe, Africa, South America and Central America.
“The exposure of having EZ Baccarat on the most powerful online gaming company’s platform means the world to us,” Tejeda said. “This is the major leagues. That they chose our game is a dream come true.”
