Evolution has received permission from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to begin using a large new center it built inside the Showboat Resort Atlantic City. It spans around 60,000 square feet.
Construction began in 2025 on the second floor of the Showboat, forming part of several new ventures developed by owner Bart Blatstein at the former casino-hotel.
The center is designed to accommodate numerous live gaming tables and employ approximately 1,200 staff members.
It is located on the Showboat’s second floor and, alongside broadcasting studios, also houses supporting technical operations. Evolution also maintains studios at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort, all of which will remain operational, although some operations may be consolidated in the future.
The facility is the latest development supporting New Jersey’s expanding online gambling sector. The state’s iGaming revenue reached $274.8m for September 2026, marking a 13% increase year-over-year.
This offset the combined $15.8m decline in land-based casino and sports betting revenue. Atlantic City’s nine casinos generated $227.8m in September, down 1.3%, while sportsbook revenue fell 14.3% to $77m.
Meanwhile, for Q3 2026, Evolution reported a 3.7% year-on-year increase in net revenue to €526.1m ($589.9m), as growth in live casino and random-number-generator (RNG) games lifted its top line. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.7% to €345.9m, although the adjusted margin narrowed to 65.8%. Profit for the period fell 3.6% to €243.3m.
Across the first nine months, net revenue edged up 0.3% to €1.56bn, adjusted EBITDA eased 0.2% to €1.02bn and profit fell 1.1% to €746.7m.
After the reporting period, Evolution temporarily closed its Brazilian studio following an October change in the country's regulatory framework. The company said the outcome remains unclear and estimated that Brazil represents well below half of Latin American revenue when measured by player IP. That development did not affect the completed third-quarter figures.
In September, Boyd Interactive and Evolution extended their partnership, making Evolution the exclusive live casino provider across Boyd’s North American iGaming brands
