Evolution lancerer Spinning Whale – nyt slotstudie med fokus på USA

Evolution lancerer Spinning Whale, et nyt spilstudie for slots, der primært retter sig mod Nordamerika. Det første spil er blevet præsenteret, og en bredere lancering er planlagt til november.

Spinning Whale bliver et nyt brand i Evolutions portefølje, som allerede omfatter blandt andre NetEnt, Red Tiger, Sneaky Slots og Nolimit City. Ifølge selskabet skal studiet udvikle flere spil med udgangspunkt i amerikanske spilleres præferencer for temaer, spilmekanik og visuel stil.

Det første spil henter inspiration fra fysiske casinoer

Debutspillet 888 Dragon’s Fortune Hold’n’Win er en asiatisk inspireret slot, der bygger på det visuelle udtryk fra klassiske casinospil. Efter den bredere lancering i Nordamerika i november planlægger Evolution at udgive flere titler i løbet af 2027.

Spillene skal distribueres eksklusivt gennem Evolutions platform One Stop Shop. Operatører, der benytter platformen, kan dermed få adgang til Spinning Whale via den samme integration som selskabets øvrige casinoindhold.

Satsningen giver Evolution endnu et brand til at tilpasse sit spiludbud til det amerikanske marked, samtidig med at selskabet ser muligheder for at lancere spillene internationalt.

North America is a key market for Evolution, and we see significant opportunity to continue growing our online slots business here. We know that players in the US can have different preferences when it comes to themes, volatility, mechanics and visual style. Spinning Whale will allow us to increase the number of games we release with the US player perspective in mind from the outset, helping us get more of the content players love in front of them.

We have spent considerable time looking at what players in this market enjoy and where we see the market heading. Spinning Whale is a direct response to that opportunity. While we expect many of these games to resonate with players well beyond North America, we are particularly excited about the potential for the brand in the US.

Spinning Whale adds another distinct proposition to Evolution’s slots portfolio. Our strength lies in having a range of brands, each with its own identity, mechanics and approach to game development, allowing us to create a broader range of content for operators and their players rather than trying to make one style of game fit every player. Spinning Whale expands that range further and gives us another strong platform from which to continue growing our slots offering. While the US is the initial focus for Spinning Whale, we see strong potential for its games across our global network.
