As such, Evolution’s financial results also included revenue from NetEnt in the final month of the year.
“Through the acquisition of NetEnt, we add a second vertical to our unrivalled live casino offer and two strong and fantastic new brands to our product portfolio,” Evolution chief executive Martin Carlesund said.
“This makes us well placed for our long-term ambition of taking a leading global position in online casino.”
