William Hill Online is to start offering customers a VIP live casino experience. Provided by Evolution Gaming’s studio in Talinn, Estonia, it seeks to recreate the real life land-based casino VIP room live in your own home. Players can choose from a number of games including live roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat all inside a Salle Privee. This is in addition to seven dedicated Blackjack tables and all of it will be filmed at Evolution’s purpose built studio in the Estonian capital. eGR quotes Evolution as stating the service “truly mirrors the VIP service found in high-end ‘real’ casinos”. This will be evident in the English, Spanish and Cantonese VIP hosts that were handpicked from the very best available. Colin Cole-Johnson, eGaming director at Hills, said the move was “another major investment for William Hill in online, and part of our strategy to deliver further incremental revenue from this growing sector”.
