Evoplay announces exceptional H1 results
Award-winning game development studio Evoplay has announced that it has closed a record-breaking first six months of 2023, following a period of rapid growth and expansion.
In the first half of the year, the company has continued its impressive growth trajectory through excellent product output and commercial momentum by releasing more immersive titles and closing deals with prominent names in the industry.
Key to its outstanding success has been its increase in network partners, which is up 34% compared to this time last year, thanks to partnerships established with operators such as Sportingtech, Solverde.pt and 7bet.
Evoplay has also experienced an 84% growth in GGR and an increase of 104% in betting rounds compared to the same period last year. The provider’s world-class content engaged 85% more players than 2022’s H1, with 32 new releases covering various concepts and verticals.
The studio’s innovative Penalty Shoot-out: Street title retained players across the first half of the year, particularly in the Latin American market. The game forms part of the provider’s pioneering Football Pack, which has been acclaimed for its ability to convert sport bettors to iGaming and appeal to previously untapped demographics.
The company’s dedication and innovative strategies proved vital to Evoplay’s success in industry awards, picking up seven nominations at the 2023 SBC Awards, where it went on to win Industry Innovation of the Year. In addition, Evoplay’s efforts were commended at the EGR B2B Awards 2023 where it won Innovation in Mobile.
With ambitious plans for the future, the company also opened new offices in Lviv, Ukraine at the beginning of the year and established its new headquarters in Cyprus. The provider is set to continue its ambitions of delivering dynamic casino content to the industry for the remainder of the year and expand its presence across regulated markets worldwide.
Commenting on Evoplay’s standout accomplishments, Evoplay CEO, Ivan Kravchuk, said: “Our major achievements over the first half of 2023 exemplify the fantastic work we do at Evoplay, especially after such a strong 2022.
“Since our inception in 2017, we’ve grown rapidly and have amazed many across the globe with our brilliant product portfolio. We still have more room for growth and a lot in the pipeline for H2. I’m so proud of each member of our team and we’re very excited for the future.”

Casino goers enjoy slot machines for a whole host of reasons. Some enjoy their tried-and-true favorite games. Some people like discovering new games. Gaming manufacturer, Zitro, has just introduced slot games enclosed in a new cabinet called CONCEPT that synchronizes its Magic Lighting system to elements of the game and what a player sees on the screen.
Zitro launched the system at Pechanga Resort Casino just outside Temecula, California. Pechanga is among the first casinos in California to feature the CONCEPT cabinet and its upgraded and inviting technology. Pechanga guests can try their luck on Zitro’s Legendary Sword slot game, a medieval-themed, multi-game players like for immersive gameplay and standout features such as a four-level jackpot link, mystery-activated bonuses, and special in-game powers such as “Honor,” which multiplies rewards, “Glory,” which grants extra lives, and the “Magic Sword,” which doubles Link symbols on the boosted column. Players can experience up to seven Bonus Links, making each spin feel like part of an epic quest.
“We are committed to offering the best in gaming entertainment,” said Alex Rodriguez, Vice President of Slot Operations at Pechanga Resort Casino. “The CONCEPT cabinet and Legendary Sword slot machine bring incredible visual impact.

Attendees of the initial sessions noted positive anecdotal outcomes.
EPIC Global Solutions announced a new partnership with Underdog to further the sports gaming operator’s investment in responsible gaming education through a series of training and workshops.
As part of the partnership, customer-facing Underdog employees participated in gaming harm awareness sessions and VIP relationships workshops presented by EPIC staff, increasing Underdog staff’s ability to recognize potentially problematic gaming behaviors in their customers.
The sessions were led by consultants who shared their own experience of how different forms of gaming proved problematic in their lives, including former NCAA and NBA point guard Stevin ‘Hedake’ Smith and former boxer Liz Thielen, and provided Underdog staff the chance to explore the human side of harm through a gaming-neutral lens.
EPIC’s VP North America Teresa Fiore noted: “We’re very pleased with the positive start to our working relationship with Underdog. They have a deep understanding that responsible gaming practices must be at the core for any major operator, and it’s a constant and consistent process of learning and attentiveness. It’s clear from the session feedback that the responsible gaming message we share – influenced by the lived experience of our team – is making a difference to Underdog’s staff in a way that will further enhance their communication and customer relationships in a positive way.”
The training and workshops promoted business sustainability and customer protection by exploring communication techniques and best practices to foster healthy customer relationships.
“Partnering with EPIC has reinforced the culture of responsible gaming that we are building at Underdog,” said Adam Warrington, Vice President of Responsible Gaming at Underdog. “We look forward to furthering the understanding of responsible gaming within Underdog and continuing to participate in training sessions and workshops to deepen our player protection knowledge.”
Attendees noted positive anecdotal outcomes, such as learning ‘the nuances of messaging’ and how to ‘dive deeper to get to the bottom of what messaging could be problematic’ and taking the message of ‘direct experiences to help understand how people are impacted’.
