Light & Wonder Partners with Avanti for Live Casino Expansion
Avanti, a live casino supplier known for its innovative approach to the iGaming industry through motion capture technology and real-time cloud-based streaming, has entered into a strategic agreement with Light & Wonder. This collaboration aims to introduce next-generation Live Casino offerings to operators in the EMEA and Canada regions.
Light & Wonder, recognized as a leading aggregator and technology provider in iGaming, will work with Avanti to enhance the live casino experience. Avanti's unique method addresses issues such as inconsistent presentations and high scalability costs associated with traditional live games. Their approach employs motion-capture technology to replicate the actions and mannerisms of professional dealers, creating realistic digital clones.
These digital clones are brought to life through a combination of 3D animation and audio tools, allowing for customization to align with the operators' target markets. The final product streams directly into games in high-definition video, increasing the quality of play.
By leveraging this technology, Avanti aims to alleviate the challenges of physical studio construction and the ongoing costs of live dealers, resulting in a cost-effective solution that minimizes human error. This flexibility allows operators to open multiple tables at various limits as needed.
Initial Market Focus
The initial rollout of the agreement will target Spain and Brazil, marking Avanti's first entries into regulated markets. In Spain, operators will have access to a broader range of live games that extend beyond roulette, featuring original offerings such as TORO Y MATADOR and TORO Y MATADOR TURBO EN VIVO, alongside other games like BACCARAT, DRAGON TIGER, and LIVE BLACKJACK.
In Brazil, Avanti's platform will provide operators with a selection of Portuguese-speaking dealers, as well as customizable tables and betting limits tailored for Brazilian players.
Statements from Company Leaders
Jonas Delin, Co-founder at Avanti Studios, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Offering flawless presentation, cost-effective scaling and unlimited customization potential, Avanti is the future of live casino. We are excited to share our content with operators through our collaboration with Light & Wonder.” He noted the strong interest from operators in Spain and Brazil as they prepare for future market expansion in 2026 and 2027.
Stuart Banks, Managing Director of Global Partnerships at Light & Wonder, shared his view on the partnership, saying, “Light & Wonder is always seeking innovative games in iGaming, and Avanti’s next-generation live casino titles certainly fit that description. Their customizable solution can easily scale to meet demand, making it a promising addition for our operators.”
