The first live games are available for play now, as live dealer games are being broadcast via general Evolution Gaming tables in their main studios. In September mobile versions of the blackjack and other games will appear on mobile platforms, and tables with specific MarathonBet branding coming in that timeframe.

Speaking about the new games MarathonBet Manager Christian Melin said, “We wanted to work with the market leader, to have premium content and to offer our players a great experience across multiple devices. Our Live Casino is already gaining strong momentum and attracting a high number of unique players. We are confident these numbers will increase even more when we launch our dedicated Live Blackjack table and mobile product.”
