Caesars Entertainment has officially unveiled its inaugural branded live dealer studio in Pennsylvania, in collaboration with Evolution Gaming. This state-of-the-art facility brings a Las Vegas-style gaming experience to online players via Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino. The studio’s introduction marks a significant step for Caesars in enhancing online gaming with an immersive and customized live dealer experience.
Designed to replicate the opulence of the Caesars Palace Las Vegas casino floor, the Philadelphia-based studio includes five blackjack tables, one baccarat table, and one roulette table. Among these is a VIP-exclusive blackjack table that offers high-limit, one-on-one gameplay, an option previously limited to physical casinos. Each table features unique branding elements inspired by the iconic Caesars Palace, from custom felts to co-branded tables designed in partnership with professional sports leagues.
Elevating Online Casino Entertainment
Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital, emphasized the goal of recreating the grandeur of Caesars Palace in an online setting. “Creating a fully customized live dealer studio with our partners at Evolution has heightened the user experience on our online casino platforms by providing a Las Vegas Strip-style experience directly in the palm of our players’ hands,” Sunderland stated in a company press release.
The studio’s design incorporates elements from Caesars Palace, including replicas of the famous Julius Caesar statue, intricate flooring patterns, and wall coverings. Sunderland further noted, “The result is an aesthetically unmatched live dealer experience that pays homage to our renowned brand.”
Evolution Gaming, a key partner in this endeavor, highlighted the project’s innovative approach to online gaming. Jacob Claesson, CEO of Evolution North America, expressed his enthusiasm: “By combining our cutting-edge technology with the unmistakable Caesars brand, this dedicated studio will deliver the elegance and thrill of Caesars Palace to online players in Pennsylvania.”
Expanding Online Gaming Options
This launch is currently exclusive to Pennsylvania but is part of a broader initiative by Caesars to enhance its online platforms across North America. In addition to Pennsylvania, Caesars Palace Online Casino and its associated platforms are available in jurisdictions like New Jersey, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. These platforms offer a wide range of games, including high-limit slots, poker variations, and progressive jackpots, alongside the new live dealer options.
The integration of this live dealer studio also ties into Caesars’ loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. This program allows players to earn rewards through online or in-person gameplay, redeemable at over 50 destinations across North America. On the other hand, for Evolution, which operates globally, this move further expands its influence, following recent financial results showing a 27.9% increase in year-on-year revenue for Q3 2024.
