B2B online casino service provider Evolution has successfully introduced its live game show Crazy Time to the top iGaming states in the US, with West Virginia and Pennsylvania being the latest.
Since its release in 2020 and in New Jersey, where it made its US debut in December 2023, the game has become a fan favorite, drawing in millions of players. In an Evolution news release, Jacob Claesson, Evolution CEO for North America, said:
“Crazy Time has been a massive global hit since launching in 2020 and has attracted millions of players, making it the world’s #1 online live game show.
We’re incredibly excited to bring the unique Crazy Time online entertainment experience to players in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with more US states set to join in the fun soon.”
On March 23, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board cleared Crazy Time. However, the new regulations require a 30-day public comment period before games become operative.
This meant that Crazy Time ought to have been released, perhaps, by the end of April. However, the need to establish a dedicated studio for the game prevented an early release.
Currently, Crazy Time is airing from Evolution’s live casino studio in Philadelphia.
