Light & Wonder launches Authentic Gaming live dealer games in US

Rush Street Interactive is now offering Authentic Gaming content in the state through its BetRivers brand. Light & Wonder acquired Authentic Gaming in November 2021, marking its entrance into the live dealer market.

Live games are being delivered from Authentic Gaming’s new studio in Michigan. The facility offers bespoke environments for individual operators.

An initial five games are now available in the Great Lake State. These include Premium Blackjack, Stadium Blackjack, Premium Roulette, Premium Baccarat and All Michigan Auto Roulette. Further releases are being planned for the future.

“Ours is a premium, bespoke offering that we believe will resonate strongly with players across the US,” Authentic Gaming founder Jonas Delin said. “This launch represents a key stage in our growth journey.

“We have worked incredibly hard to create a studio and live product that we believe will have a major impact on the online casino market across the US. It is fantastic to have reached the stage where we are able to go live with the product.”

Rush Street Interactive CEO Richard Schwartz added: “We believe in creating next-level experiences for our players and Light & Wonder premium live dealer by Authentic Gaming certainly fits the bill.

“Authentic Gaming has created a compelling array of content that speaks directly to the preferences of players in Michigan. This is a partnership we believe will prove to be highly successful going forward.”

The launch comes after Light & Wonder last week appointed Mark Yoseloff to a new table games consultancy role.

Yoseloff, the former chairman and CEO of Shuffle Master, is supporting ongoing growth plans for the global table games business. This includes contributing to various strategic initiatives in the segment.

Yoseloff takes on the new role having served as president of Disruptive Gaming Technologies since March. Prior to this, he was CEO of High Roller Productions for almost five years.
