Avanti Studios announce new multi-market partnership with Entain

Avanti, the pioneering software provider rewriting the live casino playbook with its combination of motion capture technology and real-time cloud-based streaming, has announced a multi-market partnership with Entain.

One of the world’s largest sports betting and gaming groups, Entain operates exclusively in regulated and regulating markets and manages a portfolio of over 30 brands, including Ladbrokes, Coral, bwin and Sportingbet. 

As part of the partnership, Entain will offer Avanti’s full range of content across its brands. It will also receive a one-month exclusivity period for Avanti’s Blackjack in Spain, making it the first operator to host an online multiplayer, real-time, DGOJ-approved version of the game in the country.

Other Avanti titles to launch on Entain platforms include Toro y Matador, Toro y Matador Turbo, Dragon Tiger and Baccarat. These games are all presented by ultra-realistic, lifelike digital clones modelled on the actions of real dealers.

These dealers are built using MetaHuman and 3D animation tools and streamed directly into games in real-time. This provides the backbone of a setup that enables Avanti to deliver a polished, error-free, cost-effective and fully customisable product. 

By removing the need for physical studio builds and ongoing staff overheads, Avanti enables operators to launch as many tables as needed to meet their player demands without build costs or lengthy timelines. A dealer’s appearance and language can also be tailored, making it a scalable, easily localised solution ideally suited for international brands like Entain.

Jonas Delin, co-founder at Avanti Studios, said: “We are proud to offer a cost-effective and flexible solution that allows operators to effortlessly scale across multiple markets.

“As part of the deal, not only will Entain brands have access to our full suite of next-gen live casino titles, but they’ll receive one month’s exclusivity for Blackjack, making them the first provider in Spain to host a fully-approved multiplayer, real-time streamed Blackjack game. This further strengthens our relationship and will help further raise Avanti’s profile in regulated markets worldwide.”

Obdulio Bacarese, global gaming director at Entain, said: “At Entain we are 100% committed to providing the best player experiences in regulated markets worldwide. To continue doing that, we’re always on the lookout for suppliers who can innovate while remaining compliant.

“Avanti’s approach to live casino certainly fits that bill. Its combination of real-time action and provably fair RNG will enable us to provide a thrilling mix of games that are both flexible and scalable enough to serve our global audience. We are particularly excited about our launch in Spain, where we’ll be the first operator to offer players access to Avanti Blackjack.”
