Fox17 reported that the online casino phenomena has become so popular that they are popping up everywhere. So, why not Grand Rapids?

This Grand Rapids online casino is well on course to begin operation soon, Evolution North America CEO Jacob Claesson said.

"Evolution North America is a company focusing on online casino gaming. Their employees are the ones you often see on casino apps like FanDuel, Hard Rock and BetMGM."

Evolution already has a studio in Michigan, in Southfield, but they are out of space and capacity. So, it was time for them to build another "studio" and Grand Rapids was chosen.

"I didn't know the terminology West Michigan nice until then, but I just felt that friendliness, people were smiling, people were greeting you, and that was not just one interaction," Claesson said. "It was the Uber drivers. There were the hotels, the cafes, the restaurants that I went to. So that really helped me with that decision."

Claesson also said they expect to hire over 300 people from West Michigan. Also, they will be launching Monopoly Live here in Michigan, so they can't wait to get started.

Let the dealing begin!
