Evolution Sets Out Hasbro Launch Plans for 2026
Evolution has used the International Casinos Exhibition in Barcelona to outline where its live casino and RNG business is heading, combining previews of licensed content with updates on product development across its wider portfolio. The presentation brings together early details from a new partnership with Hasbro, a packed release schedule for 2026, and the launch of a revised take on Baccarat designed to add an extra layer of protection for players.
The company confirmed that ICE visitors will see the first wave of games created under its exclusive licensing agreement with Hasbro. Alongside these previews, Evolution is highlighting the scale of its upcoming output, with plans in place for more than one hundred new titles across live dealer and RNG formats next year.
First Hasbro Games Move Closer to Release
At stand #2J30, Evolution is giving attendees an early look at titles built around some of Hasbro’s most familiar brands. The partnership, announced in 2025, covers both live casino games and online slots, with development spread across several studios within the group.
Among the projects shown in Barcelona is MONOPOLY Filthy Rich, positioned as the most ambitious live game show the company has produced so far. Also featured is MONOPOLY Roulette, which combines the visual identity of the board game with a traditional roulette format. Another title, Game Night, brings together a selection of well-known Hasbro games within a single live studio experience.
These releases represent the opening stage of a broader content plan that extends beyond 2026. Work on Hasbro-themed titles is currently underway at Evolution, Ezugi, NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Big Time Gaming, with further games already planned for later years.
The stand will also showcase content from across Evolution’s wider brand lineup. Visitors can expect to see upcoming live casino products and RNG games from NetEnt, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, Big Time Gaming, and Sneaky Slots, reflecting the group’s multi-brand approach to game development.
A Broad and Busy Schedule for 2026
Evolution has confirmed that 2026 will be one of its most active years to date, with 119 new releases planned across live dealer tables and RNG titles. Rather than pushing all studios in the same direction, the roadmap places emphasis on clearer brand identities within the group’s slots business.
Each RNG studio is developing games that align with its own creative style and audience preferences. This approach is intended to create stronger distinctions between brands while leaving room for experimentation within each studio.
The next phase of Evolution Dream Creator is also set to launch in 2026. The updated system will give operators more control when building exclusive slot titles, with additional tools and mechanics designed to support customised game concepts.
Alongside online releases, the Barcelona stand includes Gaming Arts terminals displaying Divine Fortune Ascension and Starburst Supernova. These titles form part of Evolution’s omni-channel strategy, which brings established NetEnt slots into land-based casino environments.
The year also marks two milestones for the group. Evolution celebrates 20 years since its founding, while NetEnt reaches its 30th anniversary as an online slots developer.
Insurance Baccarat Adds Built-in Stake Protection
Away from the exhibition announcements, Evolution has also expanded its live dealer catalogue with the launch of Insurance Baccarat. The game follows the traditional Baccarat structure, where players bet on Player, Banker or Tie, and two cards are dealt to each hand, with the option of a third card depending on the total.
The added feature comes into play when the side backed by the player holds a lead after the initial deal but then loses once an extra card is drawn. In those situations, the original wager is returned to the player. This Insurance applies automatically to Player and Banker bets, with a 10% fee added to those wagers regardless of whether the refund condition is met.
Insurance Baccarat includes both Commission and No Commission modes, which players can switch between without leaving the table. Side bets such as Super 6, Perfect Pair and Bonus are also available, along with detailed scoreboards and adjustable viewing options aimed at players who follow trends during live play.
The title is now available across Evolution’s live casino environments and supports different table setups and streaming formats. According to the company, the new mechanic offers “a new way to enjoy one of the world’s most iconic casino games.”
