This is not the first game provider that Evolution has acquired in recent years. It has also acquired Red Tiger, NetEnt and Big Time Gaming.

This was not unexpected news either. It has been noted as late as November last year, that a new acquisition was on the horizon for Evolution, following its acquisition of NetEnt in 2020 and Big Time Gaming in 2021.

Speaking of this latest deal, Evolution Chairman, Jens von Bahr, said: “With the addition of Nolimit City to the Evolution family we extend our portfolio of truly innovative and cutting edge games from the top brands and game makers in the industry.

“We have followed Jonas, Emil and their team for a few years and have been impressed as they have established a completely new style of slot games. I am proud that yet another of the very best minds in our industry has chosen to join the Evolution network.”

This merger will help Evolution to reach its expected revenue of €30m and an EBITDA of €23 in 2022.

Jonas Tegman, NoLimit City Co-Founder, stated: “I cannot think of a better match between two companies than between Nolimit City and Evolution, we are fully aligned in terms of people, product, technology and how to get the job done.

“The slot vertical is under massive change, and we can’t wait to take on the challenge of global expansion together with Evolution, helping out with navigating towards the best slot product offering in the market.”
