The latest numbers on Wikipedia reveal that the UK is home to more than 2.1 million online gamblers. If this is anything to go by, any ambitious online casino content aggregator will want to get a piece of this iGaming market. Well, Ezugi recently announced that the company had secured permission to power live casino sites in the UK. Here's more about the deal:  

Ezugi Gets the Coveted Live Casino UK License

Operating Under Evolution License

In 2018, Evolution Gaming wrapped up an $18 million deal to purchase Ezugi. Back then, Ezugi was the only real competition to Evolution in the live casino market. Now why all these stories? The agreement reveals that Ezugi will use Evolution's UKGC license to offer 11 exciting and enriching live games at any Ezugi live casino UK. 

This new agreement marks a momentous step for Ezugi, as the company is looking to broaden its market appeal. Ezugi received games, studio, and security certifications from the UK Gambling Commission. Players at any Ezugi-powered live casino UK online will access in-demand titles like Lucky7, Dragon Tiger, Unlimited Blackjack, Andar Bahar, and more. You'll learn more about the available live games later in this news post. 

Official Statement

According to Pang Goh, Ezugi's Business Development Director, obtaining certifications from the UKGC signifies the company's commitment to reaching the highest industry levels. He continued that the license will operate under Evolution Malta Limited and that Ezugi is pleased to finally have its games certified by the UK Gambling Commission.

That's not all. Pang Goh believes that live casino sites in the UK will significantly benefit from the developer's expertise in localized content. And to wrap it up, he said that Ezugi is eager to start this new chapter and provide its best-performing games to players in the UK. 

Top-Rated Ezugi Live Casino Games to Play in the UK

Launched in 2012, Ezugi is one of the biggest live content distributors. Currently, the company operates nine state-of-the-art studios where it streams 20+ live casino games. However, only 11 are included in the United Kingdom deal. Below is a brief review of each title:

Dragon Tiger

Dragon Tiger is an exciting Asian-themed game streamed from Ezugi's LATAM studio. The game is available to play 24/7 and features relatively simple rules. Players simply bet on the Dragon or Tiger positions and win an even-money payout of 1:1. There's also a Tie bet which pays out at 8:1. Unlike Evolution's version, which has a single side bet, Dragon Tiger by Ezugi has three. Players can wager on Big/Small, Odd/Even, and Suit.

Cricket War

Sport-themed live games are commonplace, with Evolution's Football Studio being popular among football fans. On the other side, cricket lovers can try their luck on Ezugi's Cricket War. Released in October 2021, this game draws inspiration from Casino War, with a background filled with cricket players. In this Batsman vs Bowler duel, the highest ranking side is the winner. 

Andar Bahar

Andar Bahar is an Indian-themed game that is very straightforward to master. This game of chance is played with a 52-card deck with players predicting the outcome of two positions, Andar and Bahar. Note that there's no Tie bet here. However, you'll find some good side bets like 41 or More which has a massive 120:1 payout. 

Lucky 7

Lucky 7 is another Indian-inspired card game where players predict the value of the next card to be above or below 7. Correctly predicting a 7 Up or 7 Down gives players a payout value of 1:1. If it's a 7, the payout is 11:1. This game also features two side bets, including Red/Black and Odd/Even. 

Baccarat

Play this pure game if you don't want to play twisted Baccarat versions like Andar Bahar and Lucky 7. Ezugi's Live Baccarat supports unlimited players, with a digital board to keep track of game statistics. Live Baccarat features all standard Baccarat bets, including Banker, Player, Tie, Player Pair, Banker Pair, etc. 

Live Roulette

Live roulette is a classic table game that uses the standard European Roulette rules. In other words, the wheel features 37 sections, with a green zero pocket. Apart from providing all standard inside and outside bets, Live Roulette also features French bets like Orphelins, Tiers, and Voisins du Zero. Players can also chat and tip the dealer, making the whole experience more realistic. 

Auto-Roulette

Auto-Roulette is another live Roulette game that uses European rules. But in this case, the wheel is spun automatically using the certified RNG system. This eliminates any worries players might have about the live casino dealers. Auto-Roulette boasts exciting features like unlimited player support, dealer tipping, live chat, picture-in-picture mode on multiple tables, etc.

Teen Patti

Indian players know this game quite well. This game takes its influence from poker, although it's super easy to play. In this game, the player and the dealer get three cards with the strongest hand carrying the day. The hand comparisons use poker's basic rules. However, the dealer needs a Queen or higher to qualify. 

Bet on Teen Patti

Bet on Teen Patti is nothing different from Teen Patti. However, the standard bets are named Player A and Player B. In addition, the payout is slightly lower at 0.95:1 compared to 1:1 on Teen Patti's Ante and Player bets.

Blackjack

Blackjack fans also have something to smile about with this version that maintains the game's original taste. Players can bet on up to seven seats, with the Bet Behind feature allowing an unlimited number of participants. And without forgetting the 21+3 and Perfect Pair side bets.

Unlimited Blackjack

As the name hints, Unlimited Blackjack allows unlimited gamers to face the dealer simultaneously. But to make the game more exciting, Ezugi introduces the Auto-Split feature. In short, players can split their hands automatically on specific pairs.
