Evolution’s “biggest launch ever” Lightning Storm has been handed its debut via an exclusive release with BetMGM in Ontario. 

With Evolution CEO Martin Carlesund hailing the game as “some of our best work yet”, Lightning Storm is the provider’s latest live casino game show innovation that places players in a dark, mad scientist’s laboratory-themed studio. 

Similarly to other popular Evolution game shows, the game presents a spinning money wheel that offers 39-segments with varying prizes and bonus features to be won. BetMGM players in Ontario will be the first to place bets on the title and spin the wheel. 

“Live dealer is a key focus of our igaming business at BetMGM. Lightning Storm brings together the social aspect of live dealers, the excitement of a game show and the popularity of Lightning games to create a fantastic experience for our players,” said Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content, BetMGM. 

“Evolution’s reputation in the live dealer vertical is unmatched and we are honoured to exclusively debut their biggest game yet.”

Speaking on last week’s Q2 financial results for the supplier, Evolution’s CEO piled heaps of praise on the new game show, and, although its release date was slightly delayed, Carlesund said that “nothing but perfection is enough for this game”. 

He added: “We have been working on Lightning Storm for a long time, and I dare say it’s some of our best work yet, building on so many things that we have learnt from previous games. I look forward to bringing it to players in the coming months.”
