[PR] Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that its Lightning Roulette game has been named Product Innovation of the Year in the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas 2018.

Evolution beat nine other shortlisted companies to win the prestigious international award, which recognises the most innovative new product across both the land-based and digital sectors over the last 12 months. Evolution received its award at the Global Gaming 2018 Awards Ceremony at the Sands Expo Convention Centre in Las Vegas as part of G2E Las Vegas.

Evolution’s Lightning Roulette is a unique extended online Live Roulette game that has proved to be immensely popular with players across Evolution’s operator network.

After collecting the award, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter said: “It is an absolute honour to win this award. We create games that we think players will love, and that is always our core motivation. However, it is particularly special when our peers in the gaming industry judge that we have created the year’s best product innovation.”

Haushalter added: “Last year we won Digital Product of the Year with our Dream Catcher money wheel. This year, to win Product Innovation of the Year, is even more special. In this wider category we were up against all products — for online and for land-based — so for Lightning Roulette to win this award is immensely satisfying.”

Now in its fifth year, the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas recognises and celebrates achievements made across the industry in the past 12 months. The awards are powered by Gambling Insider in association with G2E Vegas, and are officially adjudicated by KPMG Isle of Man.
