The biggest bet this month didn’t happen in the casino. It was laid down by online casino giant Evolution.
Evolution has cleared the way to purchase NetEnt. Both NetEnt and Evolution are already well-known in the New Jersey market.
What does this mean for New Jersey?
The head of both NetEnt and Evolution are seeing North America as the future of online casinos. And we all know, New Jersey is the leader of the pack there! (Who has more online casinos in the U.S.? Nobody!)
In the words of Mathias Hedlund, chairman of NetEnt:
“Evolution’s position within live casino combined with NetEnt’s position within online slots will create a company well-positioned to take significant market shares. Through this transaction, a new chapter in the development of more entertaining online casino begins, in the best interest of players, operators, employees and shareholders.”
Evolution’s chairman, Jens von Bahr, is also enthusiastic about the merger, saying”
“NetEnt’s established US positioning combined with Evolution’s existing US studios and first-to-regulated-market strategy will put us in a favourable position to capitalise on the on-going regulation in North America.”
So the CEOs know that North America is where it’s at!
