Light & Wonder introduces Authentic Gaming portfolio with BetRivers in MI

Light & Wonder has introduced the Premium Live Dealer portfolio by its studio Authentic Gaming with BetRivers in Michigan and North America for the very first time. The company acquired Authentic Gaming in 2021 in a bid to consolidate its presence in the highly lucrative live dealer vertical, and it has been busy building up its presence across key jurisdictions.

Authentic Gaming operates a state-of-the-art studio out of Michigan, which makes it possible to deliver excellent and lag-free solutions locally, building bespoke environments for partner operators, and boosting retention, engagement, and overall satisfaction among players.

At the onset of this partnership, Authentic Gaming is making five of its titles available locally, including All Michigan Auto Roulette, Stadium Blackjack, Premium Baccarat, Premium Roulette, and not least, Premium Blackjack. These games feature several additional bets and options, such as Side Bet Library, Shufflestar, Make It Your Own, Pay Me Now, and more.

Commenting on this opportunity, Rush Street Interactive Chief Executive Officer Richard Schwartz said that this tie-up would bring a next level of experiences to players through the delivery of a highly optimized portfolio that was created to appeal to fans and deliver on their expectations.

"Authentic Gaming has created a compelling array of content that speaks directly to the preferences of players in Michigan, and this is a partnership we believe will prove to be highly successful going forward," Schwartz concluded.

The partnership was naturally welcomed by Authentic Gaming Founder Jonas Delin who expressed similar confidence in the success of the live casino sector and the impact it has had on online casinos in general. Delin said that he was confident in the success of Authentic’s products in the United States and was looking forward to expanding the company’s standing in the fast-evolving gaming market in the country.

This announcement from Light & Wonder comes shortly after the company confirmed that it has designed a Squid Game-inspired slot machine that will become available in 2024 and that features various features that are based on iconic scenes from the show.
