- Connect 4: based on the classic four-in-a-row game.
- Battleship: inspired by the traditional naval strategy game.
- Hungry Hungry Hippos: an adaptation of the popular board game.

- Rock Paper Scissors: inspired by the familiar hand game.
The combination of these features is designed to provide an interactive entertainment experience integrating traditional gameplay mechanics with live casino technology.
A Partnership Established in 2021
The commercial relationship between Casino Plus and Evolution began in November 2021, initially through the introduction of slot games to the Philippine operator’s portfolio.
In May 2023, Casino Plus expanded its offering by integrating Evolution’s live casino products.
Since then, the companies have developed a commercial relationship focused on content distribution and compliance with PAGCOR’s regulatory requirements.
The Manila event represents a further development of this collaboration, introducing offline activities and exclusive customer experiences.
Statements from Casino Plus
Evan Spytma, CEO of Casino Plus, highlighted the significance of being selected as Evolution’s first Philippine partner for an offline collaboration.
The executive explained that the recognition reflects the company’s consistent operations under PAGCOR’s regulatory framework over several years.
He also emphasised that trust among international suppliers is built through operational consistency, transparency and regulatory compliance.
Spytma noted that bringing Evolution’s games beyond digital platforms into physical experiences provides new entertainment opportunities for customers.
Evolution Strengthens Its Commitment to the Philippine Market
Gionata La Torre, Evolution’s CEO for Asia, described Casino Plus as an established commercial partner within the regulated Philippine market.
The executive highlighted the operator’s reliability, operational standards and commitment to responsible gaming and the customer experience.
According to La Torre, selecting Casino Plus for the first offline collaboration reflects the trust established throughout their longstanding commercial relationship.
He also confirmed that the Philippines remains an important market within Evolution’s wider Asian growth strategy.
Evolution’s Expansion in Asia
The collaboration comes amid Evolution’s growing presence in the Philippine market.
In 2025, the supplier opened its first live casino studio in Asia, located in Cebu, strengthening its regional operational infrastructure.
The facility represents a strategic investment aimed at expanding the company’s live casino content production and distribution capabilities.
The partnership with Casino Plus complements this development by working with an established, locally licensed operator.
Regulatory Compliance and Player Protection
Casino Plus operates under PAGCOR supervision and maintains several mechanisms designed to ensure compliance with Philippine gambling regulations.
These include Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification procedures, anti-money laundering controls and initiatives aimed at protecting player funds.
In December 2025, the company introduced its PhilFirst Surety Bond Protection Programme, announcing coverage of PHP1 billion for qualifying player funds.
Casino Plus believes these measures help strengthen relationships with international suppliers and consolidate its position within the regulated gaming market.
New Experiences and Early Access Opportunities
Evolution announced plans to offer Casino Plus customers early access to selected new gaming products, where commercially and operationally feasible.
The companies also intend to continue developing joint campaigns across both digital and physical environments.
These initiatives will focus on strengthening customer engagement, introducing new content and expanding the entertainment experiences available to Philippine players.
No specific dates have been announced for future activities.
Industry Impact and Next Steps
The first offline collaboration between Casino Plus and Evolution reflects the growing importance of partnerships between licensed local operators and international gaming technology suppliers.
For Casino Plus, the agreement provides an opportunity to expand its commercial offering and differentiate its platform through exclusive experiences.
For Evolution, the initiative strengthens its presence in the Philippines and extends the reach of its content within a strategically important Southeast Asian market.
Both companies view Game Night as the beginning of a new phase of collaboration, with opportunities to develop additional products, campaigns and entertainment experiences for Filipino players.
