William Hill’s new Macau casino debuts Evolution Gaming Live Baccarat Squeeze

UK-listed online bookmaker William Hill is making a play for the Asian ex-pat gambler market by rolling out its new Macau-themed online casino.

Last week saw William Hill debut a new ‘Macau’ tab on its home page, which takes visitors to an Asian-themed site featuring a mix of live dealer and RNG casino games. The Macau games are available on both desktop and mobile web, as well as on machines in Hill’s retail betting shops.

The goal is to build on the success Hills has had with its Vegas casino tab, which offers a suite of in-house games independent of the games provided by technology supplier Playtech. The Vegas operation now contributes the majority of Hills’ online casino revenue, and reported growth of 19% in Q3 while non-Vegas casino revenue fell 17%.

In addition to exclusive slot content from Scientific Games, Hills’ Macau suite includes a new Live Baccarat Squeeze table courtesy of live dealer specialists Evolution Gaming. Hills is the first to enjoy Evolution’s new squeezable product, which won’t be available to the rest of Evolution’s licensees until January (and will be on display at the ICE Totally Gaming confab in London in February).
