The deal between Scientific Games and Authentic Gaming is part of Scientific Games’ growth strategy, which includes expansion into the US igaming market and game diversification.
Authentic Gaming has extensive experience in the European igaming market, supplying casino products to well-known brands like Betway, Entain, and Mr Green. It was originally backed by LeoVegas’ venture capital arm before becoming an independent subsidiary.
This deal allows Scientific Games to build and supply live casino products to players worldwide, positioning the company uniquely to benefit from the convergence of live and digital gaming.
Scientific Games CEO for igaming Dylan Slaney expressed excitement about working with Authentic to enhance their iGaming offerings. Scientific Games CEO Barry Cottle is thrilled to have Authentic Gaming join their family, as it allows them to capitalize on the growing US market opportunity with their omnichannel approach.
It is worth mentioning that this deal follows Scientific Games’ sale of its lottery business and divestment of its sports betting business in previous agreements.
Authentic Gaming CEO Jonas Delin believes that joining Scientific Games is an ideal move to expand their footprint in the US and European markets, as Scientific Games’ leading position in the US and their focus on quality games content align with Authentic’s studio expansion and game diversification strategy.
