Authentic Gaming

Authentic Gaming Casinos — Games, Fairness and Where to Play
Authentic Gaming is a live casino studio founded in 2015, acquired by Light & Wonder in November 2021 after two years under Genting Group's ownership from October 2019. The studio builds its entire catalogue around live-dealer tables and game shows — blackjack, roulette, baccarat and branded formats — rather than slot machines, and its tables run on more than 200 operator websites.
Who Is Authentic Gaming
Authentic Gaming is headquartered in Sliema, Malta, with its registered office listed as Fawwara Lane, Light & Wonder, 2nd Floor, Central North Business Centre, Sliema, on the UK Gambling Commission's public register. The studio has more than 300 staff, and its live-casino division now operates under the internal name Light & Wonder Live, reflecting the 2021 change of ownership.
Authentic Gaming's licence history shows two surrendered authorisations and one historical permit:
- Malta Gaming Authority — B2B critical-supply licence MGA/B2B/352/2016, held by Authentic Gaming Malta Ltd, listed as Surrendered in the regulator's register as of 26 October 2026.
- UK Gambling Commission — remote gambling software licence 051994-R-329130-004, held by Authentic Gaming Limited, covering Gambling Software Remote and Game Host (Casino) Remote activities, surrendered on 3 August 2018 with a stated validity period that ran until 12 December 2025.
- Romania National Gambling Office — a permit for the studio was reported in 2017.
Authentic Gaming's own Malta and UK B2B licence numbers are both marked Surrendered in the regulators' registers, so checking a live-casino table's credentials means looking at the casino's own licence rather than at the studio's historical authorisation.
In the catalogue on this page, Authentic Gaming's tables are listed at three casinos — RocketPlay, WinSpirit and NeoSpin. Ranked by the number of casinos carrying each provider across the catalogue, Authentic Gaming sits 369th of 525 studios, a coverage close to niche names such as Atmosfera and STHLM Gaming (3 casinos each) rather than broadly distributed studios such as Spinomenal (145 casinos) or Hacksaw (140).
Which Authentic Gaming Games Suit Which Player
Players who want a standard live-dealer experience fit best with Premium Blackjack, Premium Roulette and Premium Baccarat — Authentic Gaming's core line for classic blackjack, roulette and baccarat play, run by a human dealer rather than an automated wheel.
All Michigan Auto Roulette removes the live dealer in favour of an automated wheel, a format the studio launched for the Michigan market through BetRivers in 2023; a player who wants a faster round pace without waiting on a dealer fits here.
Stadium Blackjack runs alongside Premium Blackjack as a separate product rather than a variant of it, launched together in the same 2023 Michigan rollout; it suits a player who wants a distinct blackjack table option beyond Premium Blackjack.
7's on Fire LIVE is a game show rather than a table game: players bet on symbols and numbers, multipliers apply during the round, and bonus rounds can trigger, with the studio's own launch announcement stating a potential maximum win above 10,000x the initial stake. This format suits a player prepared for high-variance swings in pursuit of that ceiling; a player who wants steady, lower-variance returns from a straightforward hand is better served by Premium Blackjack, where the outcome follows standard blackjack rules rather than a multiplier mechanic.
Rainbow Riches Live and Foxwoods Roulette complete the current line-up of named titles in the catalogue, extending the roulette and branded-format range beyond the four games above.
Common Misconceptions About Authentic Gaming
Many assume Genting Group still owns Authentic Gaming after buying the studio for 15 million euros on 30 October 2019, yet the business actually transferred to Scientific Games, now called Light & Wonder, on 3 November 2021.
A second assumption is that a licence number associated with Authentic Gaming — whether Malta's MGA/B2B/352/2016 or the UK's 051994-R-329130-004 — is still active today.
Verdict on Authentic Gaming
Authentic Gaming's value for a player sits in the format: the studio offers no slot reels, so the decision is between a dealer-run table (Premium Blackjack, Premium Roulette, Premium Baccarat), an automated wheel (All Michigan Auto Roulette), a separate blackjack seat (Stadium Blackjack) or a multiplier-driven game show (7's on Fire LIVE, with its stated ceiling above 10,000x). Readers comparing this live-dealer line against the wider catalogue of studios can start from the casino directory.
