What Live Dealer Tables Will New York Get?

What Live Dealer Tables Will New York Get?

Evolution Gaming will almost certainly be the primary live dealer provider when New York legalizes online casino gaming. Evolution operates in every single regulated U.S. iGaming state — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Connecticut, and West Virginia — and there is no precedent for a state launching without their tables.

Based on Evolution's U.S. portfolio and our firsthand testing of 85+ Evolution tables in Pennsylvania through livedealer-pa.com, here's exactly what New York players should expect on day one.

Evolution's Expected Day-One Table Lineup

Live Blackjack

The cornerstone of any Evolution live dealer lobby. New York will almost certainly launch with:

Live Roulette

Live Game Shows

Live Baccarat

Will Playtech Also Be in New York?

Possibly, but not guaranteed. Playtech currently operates in Pennsylvania exclusively through BetMGM, offering games like Quantum Blackjack (1,000x multipliers) and Age of the Gods Roulette.

If BetMGM launches in New York — which is highly likely given their existing NY sports betting license — they may bring Playtech along as a secondary provider. However, Playtech would need to obtain separate New York state licensing, and the economics of entering the market depend on BetMGM's specific deal structure.

The baseline expectation: New York launches with Evolution as the primary (and possibly only) live dealer provider. Playtech arrives later through BetMGM if market conditions support it. For a full comparison of both studios, see our Evolution vs Playtech analysis.

What About New York-Specific Studios?

As the largest potential iGaming market in the U.S. by population, New York could justify Evolution opening a state-specific studio. The current legislation requires interactive gaming servers to operate from licensed gaming facilities within the state, which may extend to studio operations.

A New York-based Evolution studio would mean:

Whether this happens at launch or develops over the first year depends on the market's size and operator demand. Pennsylvania didn't get a dedicated Evolution studio immediately, but the market grew fast enough to warrant expanded capacity.

How the NY Launch Will Likely Unfold

Evolution Gaming NY FAQ

Will New York have the same live dealer games as Pennsylvania?

Yes, substantially the same. Evolution Gaming provides a standardized U.S. portfolio that includes Infinite Blackjack, Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, and the full range of live tables. Every regulated state gets access to the same core lineup. Private branded tables and operator-specific exclusives will vary.

When will Evolution Gaming launch in New York?

Evolution will launch alongside the first licensed operators, which realistically means late 2027 or 2028 depending on when legislation passes. Evolution has the infrastructure to go live in a new state within months of regulatory approval — they won't be the bottleneck.

How many live dealer tables will New York have at launch?

Expect 50-100+ total live dealer tables across all operators on day one, based on comparable state launches. Pennsylvania currently has 85+ Evolution tables plus 30+ Playtech tables. New York's larger market could support even more from the outset.

Will New York get new Evolution games before other states?

Possibly. As the largest potential U.S. iGaming market, New York operators may negotiate early access to new Evolution releases. However, Evolution typically rolls out new games across all U.S. markets simultaneously rather than staggering by state.
