Evolution AB has announced the opening of two new live casino production studios in Q1 2026 — one in Manila, Philippines, and one in Tbilisi, Georgia — as the Swedish-listed supplier continues its aggressive global expansion strategy.
The Manila studio, Evolution's second facility in the Philippines following its established Makati operation, will add over 150 live tables across Evolution's core product suite including Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, and dedicated baccarat tables for Asian operator partners. The studio is expected to reach full capacity in Q3 2026.
The Tbilisi studio — Evolution's first in the Caucasus region — will serve as a hub for emerging market operators across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, with dedicated Georgian-language tables planned for launch alongside standard English-language products.
"We go where the regulated demand is, and we build the infrastructure to serve it properly," said Evolution CEO Martin Carlesund. "Both Manila and Tbilisi represent significant long-term market opportunities for us."
Evolution confirmed it now operates over 3,500 live tables across its global studio network, employing more than 19,000 people. The company's live casino GGR grew 24% year-on-year in 2025, driven by product innovation and geographic expansion.
The supplier also used the studio announcement to confirm the Q2 2026 launch of a new game show format — details of which remain under embargo — which internal sources describe as the most technically complex production the company has undertaken to date.
