Evolution launches Live Craps in Michigan, its 3rd US state

Online casino solutions business Evolution announced Tuesday the launch of its Live Craps online casino game in Michigan. The expansion makes it the third US state for the game to be made available in, following the game’s 2022 US go-live in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and its initial 2020 launch in Europe.

Set in a "speakeasy-style" studio, this version of the classic dice offering looks to make the game easier to understand and to play for both the experienced player and the newcomer. This is achieved through an intuitive user interface that integrates seamlessly with the live gaming action and the game’s wide variety of betting choices. There’s also an ‘Easy Mode’ option and a simple online interactive tutorial that explains the game and how best to enjoy it.

Craps is now live in Michigan, the fourth US state to offer this popular game online! Come and enjoy this unique live casino version of the classic dice game that's bound to thrill players!
