PokerStars Expands Beyond Poker with New Ezugi Live Casino Partnership

PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker site, is broadening its entertainment offering by teaming up with Ezugi, a live dealer casino specialist under the Evolution brand. This new collaboration brings PokerStars players in the UK and Ontario access to a fresh lineup of live casino titles that complement their poker experience.

Through this deal, players can now explore Ezugi’s unique live casino portfolio, including:

  • Ultimate Roulette: A circus-style, game-show-inspired roulette with exciting multipliers.
  • Revolution Roulette: A twist on classic roulette featuring multiplier pockets.
  • Unlimited Blackjack: A scalable blackjack table with Auto-Split and side bets like Perfect Pairs and 21+3.
  • Lucky 7: A fast-paced Hi-Lo card game with roots in the Indian market.

These additions give PokerStars’ community more variety to enjoy when they’re not at the poker tables, bridging the gap between card rooms and the wider online casino world.

For many players, poker sessions can be long and intense. Having access to fast-paced, easy-to-pick-up games like Lucky 7 or Unlimited Blackjack offers a refreshing change of pace without leaving the PokerStars ecosystem. It is also a great showcase of how major poker platforms are evolving into one-stop entertainment hubs that balance skill-based poker with casual, casino-style fun.

Growth Beyond the Felt

Since its launch over two decades ago, PokerStars has grown into the biggest poker site globally, known for hosting high-profile tournaments and offering the widest selection of online poker formats. As part of Flutter Entertainment, the brand has expanded into online casino and sports betting, partnering with top-tier providers such as Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Big Time Gaming.

With Ezugi now in the mix, PokerStars strengthens its reputation for providing players with not just the best poker action, but also innovative casino experiences that add to the site’s entertainment value.
