This could lead to an eventual launch in the United States if Lightning Storm does well in Canada. Evolution Gaming says that Lightning Storm is the most complex offering they have to date. Additionally, it is significant that Evolution decided to launch Lightning Storm in North America and not Europe, their more important market. Earlier this year, US audiences got their taste of live dealer games from Evolution when Crazy Time launched. BetMGM gaming product and content vice president Oliver Barlett had this to say about Lightning Storm. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Live dealer is a key focus of our iGaming business at BetMGM. Lightning Storm brings together the social aspect of live dealer, the excitement of a game show and the popularity of Lightning games to create a fantastic experience for our players. Evolution\u2019s reputation in the live dealer vertical is unmatched and we are honored to exclusively debut their biggest game yet\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Will Lightning Storm ever launch in the United States? <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A launch in the United States depends on how successful Lightning Storm is in the Ontario betting market. However, there is a slight difference in how these live dealer games are run. In the US, operators must have live dealer games being streamed from within the state. Whereas Ontario operators can stream from international liver dealer studios. Evolution would then have to have have live dealer streamed from the US. They\u2019re already doing it with other titles like Crazy Time. Evolution\u2019s North American CEO Jacob Claesson said the company will monitor Lightning Storm\u2019s success in Ontario. He believes that will help guide their decision on whether they will launch in the US down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What will Lighting Storm offer to make their gaming experience cutting-edge?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lightning Storm is Evolution\u2019s new title and is an offshoot of one of their award-winning Lighting series games. The game is set in a dark laboratory-like studio with a mad scientist aesthetic. This live game show revolves around a wheel backed by their patented Digiwheel technology. The action starts when the bettor places a wager and the live dealer host spins the 39-segment Digiwheel. Every spin creates a new opportunity for the player to land on one of the random 20 bonus symbols. These bonuses can be anywhere from two to 50 times the initial prize. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exclusive partnership between Evolution Gaming and BetMGM, Ontario sportsbooks will now have Lightning Storm as their latest live dealer game show.
