Connecticut’s fast-growing gambling scene will soon welcome a vital new development, according to a recent announcement by Gov. Ned Lamont. The official shared that Evolution Gaming has soft-launched its new live studio in the state, with a full launch scheduled for July 18.
The new studio is located in Fairfield and offers live dealer content.
Lamont announced the launch in a news release, saying,
“With the addition of Evolution, we are continuing to provide a modern, technologically advanced gaming experience that provides an elevated user experience for eligible residents and is competitive with our neighbouring states. Connecticut has proven to be a leader when it comes to the gaming economy going back decades, and this expansion allows those who want to participate to continue doing so, responsibly.”
The release also stated that the studio already has a staff complement of 140 workers. Once fully staffed, it will employ 400 workers. The construction of the studio was necessitated by state law that requires a company to run a physical facility in Connecticut if it wants to offer live dealer games.

Evolution’s live dealer options are limited to blackjack and roulette during the one-week soft launch. Once the full launch happens, the provider will offer a full suite of live dealer games available on Connecticut’s FanDuel Casino and DraftKings apps.
DraftKings Casino recently shared that it would offer Bragg Gaming content in Connecticut, allowing players to enjoy Bragg’s Spin Games RGS (remote game server) games, including 21 + 3 Progressive Blackjack and Ripley’s Big Wheel.
Connecticut is among six US states that offer regulated iGaming options. The state launched its regulated environment in October 2021, joining West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. All of the states mentioned have also legalized online poker.
