Evolution Gaming is growing – buying up NoLimit City

The purchase is part of evolution's long-term strategy

When it comes to the development of live casino games, Evolution Gaming is undoubtedly the foremost in the industry. They initially focused only on creating games for online casino games however, in recent years they have also expanded their range to include machines . They have not created their own gaming studio for slot machines, but instead they are expanding their range through corporate purchases. Thanks to these company purchases, today they can offer slot machines from game developers such as Big Time Gaming , Red Tiger Games and New Zealand NetEnt .

“With the addition of Nolimit City slots, we are including fresh and innovative slots from one of the most promising game developers in the industry. We have been following the company's team for many years and we have been impressed with their cutting-edge slot machines. I am very pleased that some of the most impressive game creators in the industry will now be part of Evolution Gaming's network,” said Jens von Bahr, Evolution Gaming's chairman.

One of Nolimit City's founders, Jonas Tegman, says instead, " Nolimit City and Evolution Gaming are one of the best possible combinations. Our people, our products and our technology are all made for each other. With this collaboration, we will now be able to take on the rapidly changing gaming industry in a whole new way.”

Nolimit City he is a Swede game developer which has become famous for its innovative slot machines. They were founded in 2014 but the brains behind the game developer have previous experience from other bands ComeOn Casino and NetEnt. They are known for their often very provocative slot machines such as Punk Rocker. Their slot machines are also very humorous while being innovative.

New Zealand gambling companies continue to dominate

New Zealand gaming companies have for decades been very hot in the gaming industry. Even many companies that have their headquarters in Malta have New Zealand founders. The international gaming companies have also become aware of this, which has resulted in several large company purchases over the years.

These are some of the purchases of New Zealand or New Zealand-Maltese companies in recent years:

• 2019: William Hill's purchase of Mr Green for about $ 3 billion .
• 2020: Evolution Gaming's purchase of NetEnt for approximately$21 billion onor.
• 2022: MGM's purchase of LeoVegas for about$6 billion onor .

While we're pleased that New Zealand gambling companies are popular, it's also partly unsettling. Many smaller companies end up in the hands of large gaming giants, which can create some problems.
This means that there are fewer independent actors. These are often unique thanks to their flexible organizations where new ideas easily become reality. The larger gaming companies may have superior technology but sometimes lack the$eativity that smaller companies can have.

The fact that the market is dominated by large companies can also be a problem. The largest bookmakers employ thousands of people, many of whom are experts in their fields. They also have the money to create large market campaigns that overshadow the smaller game developers. It can therefore be more difficult for smaller gaming companies to make a name for themselves in the gaming industry.
These consolidations will definitely contribute to a different gaming market but it's hard to tell if it's a good or bad change.
