Cebu Studio: A Hub for Licensed Operators

The Cebu-based studio operates under the regulatory oversight of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), ensuring compliance with strict guidelines. This facility marks Evolution’s entry into the Philippines, the first Asian jurisdiction to fully regulate online gaming. The studio enables licensed operators to deliver Evolution’s live casino offerings to players while adhering to PAGCOR’s code of conduct for service providers.

Tailored Content for Local Preferences

Evolution’s Cebu studio is designed to cater to the preferences of Filipino players while maintaining regional compliance. The operation reflects Evolution’s commitment to delivering localized, high-quality content in regulated markets.

Initial Offerings and Future Plans

Launch with Live Baccarat

The studio will initially feature live baccarat tables, a popular choice among Filipino players. These tables are tailored to provide an engaging and authentic gaming experience.

Upcoming Titles

Evolution plans to expand its portfolio later in 2025 with additional games, including:

‍

• Lightning Roulette: A dynamic, high-energy version of the classic roulette game.
• Marble Race: An exciting game show-style offering.
• Super Color Game: A title developed exclusively for the Philippine market.

These upcoming releases aim to enhance the gaming experience by combining innovation with local appeal.
