Evolution gives Infinite Blackjack an NFL makeover in the US

By Oskar Nyström · Published 29 October 2026

Evolution, the Stockholm-based company behind the live dealer tables used by most Swedish-licensed casinos, has built an NFL-themed version of its popular Infinite Blackjack. The launch happened this week together with US operator Fanatics Casino, starting in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

What’s new

Fanatics Casino launched NFL-themed Infinite Blackjack Live in New Jersey on Wednesday, built with live dealer studio Evolution, featuring a branded table for all 32 NFL teams. Pennsylvania players got access alongside New Jersey, and Fanatics says more states will be added in the coming months.

The game format itself isn’t new for Evolution. Infinite Blackjack is an Evolution format where every player at the table gets the same first two cards but then plays their own hand, with unlimited seats and the freedom to hit, stand, double or split independently of everyone else. What’s new is the dressing: NFL-Themed Infinite Blackjack Live is described as the first dedicated infinite green screen live blackjack table of its kind in the US, and currently the only product of its type on the market.

The launch is part of a bigger partnership. The licence traces back to August, when the NFL named Fanatics an official online casino partner in a multi-year deal. NFL-branded blackjack isn’t entirely new in the US, though: Caesars launched its own NFL-branded live dealer blackjack in Pennsylvania back in 2024. Unibet and Evolution also built an Eagles-themed table in New Jersey as far back as January 2022. Fanatics’ version differs by covering the entire league at once instead of a single team.

What it means for you as a player

The NFL-branded tables only exist inside the Fanatics Casino app, currently available in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia in the US, plus Ontario in Canada. It won’t appear at Swedish-licensed casinos any time soon. The underlying Infinite Blackjack format, however, is nothing new if you already play live casino at a Swedish-licensed site, since Evolution supplies the same technology to many of them already.

The appeal of the format is that you never have to wait for a free seat. Everyone at the table starts with the same two cards, but you then play entirely on your own, just like at a regular table. If you ever feel you need a break from playing, you can always exclude yourself via Spelpaus.se. If you need to talk to someone, support is available through Stödlinjen.se.

The bigger picture

The launch fits a pattern where Evolution builds tailored versions of its popular formats for individual operators. The company has previously built brand-specific studios for major names such as LeoVegas, Unibet and PokerStars, and keeps expanding its library with new side bets and localised variants. In the US, sports brands like Fanatics are driving demand for this kind of themed content tied to the NFL season.

For Swedish players, the launch itself changes nothing, but it shows how Evolution keeps developing its most widely used table format for different markets. The core product, Infinite Blackjack, is already available at the Swedish-licensed casinos that work with Evolution, just without the NFL branding, and with the same game mechanics.
