Extreme Live Gaming Pushing the Boundaries of Live Roulette and Blackjack

Extreme Live Gaming : Pushing the Boundaries of Live Roulette and Blackjack

Extreme Live Gaming was founded in 2013 by Darwyn Palenzuela, a seasoned entrepreneur in the live casino industry. With prior experience developing live dealer solutions for companies like Smart Live Gaming, Evolution Gaming, and Ho Gaming, Darwyn brought a strong vision to the brand from day one.

The company initially set its sights on the Asian market, but by January 2015, it had relocated to London. Originally a part of the Novomatic Group, Extreme Live Gaming was acquired by Pragmatic Play in 2018. Today, its studios are based in Novomatic’s West London offices, where most of the game development and live streaming now take place in purpose-built environments.

I first encountered Extreme Live Gaming at ICE London in 2015 a major international trade fair for the gaming industry. I was attending to explore what various live casino providers had to offer, and that’s when Extreme first caught my attention. Since then, I’ve had the chance to build a relationship with the team, visit their studios, and meet the dealers behind the games.

What sets Extreme apart is its clear focus on player engagement. Darwyn and his team have consistently sought to innovate and provide unique experiences that differentiate their brand from more traditional offerings. While their portfolio includes the classic trio Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat they’ve gone a step further by introducing features that many other providers haven’t yet tackled.

Some of their standout innovations include:

  • The first to introduce side bets on Roulette
  • Golden Ball, which lets players control the release of the roulette ball a new layer of interaction
  • XMode, a feature that added a personal camera angle for each player at the Blackjack table
  • Tournament leaderboards, both at the network and local level
  • A variety of native language tables
  • Live-streamed Roulette directly from a land-based casino in Gibraltar
  • Enhanced Roulette features like La Partage, offering more flexible play options

In conclusion, Extreme Live Gaming has carved out its niche through consistent innovation and a deep commitment to player interaction. Whether it’s through pioneering features or immersive technology, they’ve shown that live casino entertainment can continue to evolve and remain exciting.
