Evolution, the leading provider of live casino solutions and gaming tables, has recently announced that it's opening a new studio location in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

This expansion is only one in a series, showcasing Evolution's commitment to expanding its international audience. The move is set to further bolster the company's presence in the important LatAm market.

Fan-favorite Games, Native-speaking Dealers

According to a recent announcement on Evolution's official website, the new facility is purpose-built to meet the demands of the growing Brazilian gambling market. The new state-of-the-art studio will initially offer multiple variants of native Brazilian Portuguese-speaking Blackjack tables, including Blackjack Clássico, Blackjack Illimitado, and Brazilian Blackjack.

Apart from these casino classics, the studio will also feature a few of the provider's most recognisable titles, such as:

According to the press release, several of these games will receive fresh, localized versions in Portuguese, making them more globally accessible than ever before.

While the full scope of the new studio operation is not publically known, we can also safely assume that other popular picks such as European roulette will also get a new table, alongside other big hits like baccarat or maybe even casino poker. Either way,  the games are designed to resonate with local players, all the while maintaining the production quality and innovation Evolution is known for internationally.

Natalia Torres, Evolution’s Head of Region Latin America, stated:

“We are proud to unveil Brazil’s first fully localised live casino studio. This is a major milestone not only for Evolution but also for the future of regulated iGaming in Brazil. With our industry-proven formats, robust local infrastructure, and unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance, we’re empowering operators to go live with content that genuinely connects with Brazilian players.”

Interestingly, this piece of news comes fresh on the heels of Evo's recent expansion into the Philippines. It seems localization is a big priority for the live casino giant these days, with brand new studios popping up all over the world.

Brazil's Changing Casino Landscape

Evolution's expansion seems to be driven by Brazil's recent introduction of new online gambling regulations that seek to improve and modernize the local internet gaming market.

As a reminder, Brazil finally launched its regulated betting and online gambling market at the beginning of 2025. While some critics have pointed out that the new regulations are facing many challenges, it's safe to say that the country is experiencing a sort of boom of internet casinos. Several major gaming brands have recently opted to expand into Brazil, and mora are expected to join the official licencee list before the end of the year.

However, tightly regulated markets present a serious challenge to live casino providers. Most regulatory frameworks demand that every part of a gambling game's vertical has to be owned and operated by a local, licensed company. Considering how live casino games work, this means that the software provider who makes the game has to have a local presence in Brazil. This also means that any equipment has to be available for verification by local authorities, which includes and live dealer tables and studios.

Considering Brazil accounted for almost 20% of the world's gambling market before regulations were even introduced, it seems that Evo found that a local studio would be a worthwhile investment. Better yet, they opted to double down on reaching local players through native-speaking tables hosted by Brazilian dealers.

Although these new regulations are sure to decrease the availability of online casinos and casino games for Brazilian players, they're still a good move for the long-term health of the industry. Brazilian players can now enjoy benefits like legal protection, which were largely unavailable while the market was still in a sort of grey area.

In any case, the new studio is sure to fortify Evolution's position as the leading live casino software provider in the LatAm region.
