The live dealer casino format was genuinely invented for the Asian market, however, things changed once the first live casino soft providers appeared in Europe. In the last few years, a live dealer casino became one of the most popular “on the go” gambling solutions. A couple of soft providers compete for being the most popular and innovative, but it seems that some of the recent acquisitions, such as Evolution Gaming’s 2020 purchase of NetEnt and all of its assets, have tipped the scales in Evolution’s favour and helped it attain the lofty title of the number one live casino developer in the business.To help you get to know the competitors a bit better, we’ve chosen the 8 most popular live dealer soft providers and will reveal the key info about them plus their advantages and special aspects. And, of course, you have an opportunity to try all of those live casinos simply using Softgaming’s “Live Casino Bundle” service.
