Evolution Gaming
The studio behind Balloon Race
Interested in the fairness figures? The Balloon Race RTP and session math covers them.
Company History
Evolution opened in 2006 as a live-dealer specialist and now trades on Nasdaq Stockholm as the largest live-casino supplier in the business. Balloon Race sits at the newer edge of that catalogue, where a hosted studio show replaces the card table.
The studio streams Balloon Race around the clock: a presenter opens the qualification round, calls the field of balloons, then works the Top Up wheel before the race itself. That human-hosted layer, filmed on real hardware, is what sets Evolution's game shows apart from a plain number-generator title.
What They Do Best
Live Game Shows
Evolution builds hosted formats like Balloon Race around physical props — the balloons, the draw machine, the Top Up wheel — with real-time betting stacked on top.
Studio Streaming at Scale
Multi-camera feeds sync thousands of players into the same live round, phone browsers included, with nothing to download.
Live-to-Table Range
Alongside game shows, Evolution Gaming runs certified-RNG versions of its live baccarat, roulette and blackjack tables under the First Person label.

Fairness & Licensing
The draw machine, balloons and Top Up wheel in Balloon Race all run on camera and pass independent testing by GLI and eCOGRA. You watch the field rise and the wheel settle in real time, so there is no hidden generator to take on faith, and the 96.09% return is audited across millions of rounds.
Why Balloon Race?
Balloon Race gives you a race you can actually watch, a Top Up wheel that can bolt 50x onto an underdog, and a 5,000x ceiling — each round settling in about 45 seconds at 96.09%. It is Evolution stretching the hosted game-show format toward genuinely big top-end wins.
