Real footage meets certified randomness in Evolution Group’s latest immersive betting experience
Ezugi, a subsidiary of the Evolution Group, has officially launched EZ Marble Race Monaco, a visually captivating RNG game that fuses cinematic marble racing with digital wagering outcomes. This title represents a strategic evolution in hybrid entertainment by combining pre-recorded race visuals with certified random number generation (RNG), ensuring regulated gameplay while delivering high-octane, gamified entertainment.
A New Category of Digital Wagering: Cinematic RNG
EZ Marble Race Monaco takes a novel approach to virtual betting. Unlike traditional RNG games that rely solely on abstract animations or digital environments, this title uses real footage of marbles racing through a Monaco-themed physical track, invoking the glamor and speed of Monte Carlo’s famed streets.
Players choose from five marbles – red, blue, green, yellow, and white – and can place bets on a variety of outcomes including single-winner bets and exact order predictions. The maximum payout reaches 71:1, offering high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
Despite the visual pre-recording, Ezugi employs a certified RNG engine to determine outcomes, ensuring fairness and unpredictability for each race. The cinematic presentation is not merely aesthetic; it enhances player engagement and retention by creating a near-live viewing experience.
Modular Design and Customisation Options for Operators
Ben Zairi, Ezugi’s Chief Growth Officer, noted the modular and customisable nature of the game:
“While the game features pre-recorded clips of real balls and a physical track, our technology allows us to reskin it with different background themes or even offer a privately-branded version tailored to any client’s styling and design.”
Delivered via Evolution’s One Stop Shop (OSS) platform, the game can be quickly deployed across operator networks, offering integrated marketing tools, support, and multi-jurisdictional compliance.
Expansion Plans and Strategic Vision
EZ Marble Race Monaco is the first in a new series of hybrid games under the “EZ Marble Race” brand. Upcoming editions include EZ Marble Race Las Vegas, expected to release later this year, signalling Ezugi’s ambition to create a portfolio of cinematic RNG games with global appeal.
This launch follows other innovative Ezugi offerings like Magic Claw and Fortune Pusher, both of which introduced arcade-style gameplay with betting overlays, and the brand’s October 2023 launch of a fully dedicated Baccarat studio with real-time streaming.
A Broader Trend Toward Hybrid Experiences
The launch underscores a broader industry trend where real-world assets and immersive media are fused with digital betting mechanics. As regulators increasingly scrutinise fairness and transparency, Ezugi’s model of pairing licensed RNG with tangible visual elements offers a compliant yet exciting gameplay evolution.
With regulatory acceptance growing for hybrid RNG models, and player interest gravitating toward more visual and tactile gameplay experiences, EZ Marble Race Monaco may well lead the charge in shaping a new frontier of gamified betting entertainment.
