Avanti Studios Partners with Light & Wonder: Expanding Horizons

Avanti Studios, a visionary in the gaming industry, has taken a significant leap forward by entering a strategic distribution agreement with Light & Wonder. This partnership, announced on March 3, 2026, is set to enhance the presence of Avanti's innovative live casino games portfolio in multiple regulated markets across the EMEA region and Canada. With an initial focus on the burgeoning markets of Spain and Brazil, this agreement signifies a pivotal moment in Avanti's expansion strategy. The collaboration connects Avanti's cutting-edge live casino offerings with Light & Wonder's extensive aggregation network, providing operators the means to incorporate Avanti's unique technology seamlessly into their platforms. Initially, this deployment will see Spain and Brazil receiving the digital influx, marking Avanti's entrée into regulated environments that hold tremendous potential for growth.

Revolutionary Technology Reimagines Live Casino

At the heart of Avanti’s offering is its revolutionary approach to live casinos. Employing motion capture technology, Avanti meticulously records the movements and behaviors of professional dealers and digitally transforms them into dynamic animated avatars. These digital dealers, sculpted through sophisticated 3D animation and high-quality audio production tools, are streamed live via cloud-based HD video technology. This innovative approach caters to the rising operational demands faced by traditional live casino setups. By replacing physical dealers with digital counterparts, Avanti enables operators to expand their offerings while maintaining rigorous standards of quality and consistency. Furthermore, by eliminating the need for ever-expensive physical studio spaces, operators can save significantly while providing players with an error-free and uniformly presented gaming experience. Avanti also offers extensive customization options, allowing for dealer appearances and language to be tailored to regional audiences. In Brazil, for instance, operators will be able to deliver games helmed by Portuguese-speaking digital dealers, closely aligning with local preferences and bet configurations.

Market Rollout and Future Ambitions

The rollout strategy under the new partnership will see Spain as Avanti's first European deployment, introducing their comprehensive portfolio which includes popular titles like Toro Y Matador, Baccarat, and Live Blackjack. This expansion aims to diversify the live gaming options for Spanish operators while simultaneously attracting a new audience base. In tandem, Brazil stands poised to embrace Avanti’s digitally-driven presence, with games specifically designed for the Brazilian market. This includes Portuguese-language support and custom table settings, reflecting the region's unique gaming culture. The platform's ability to provide an infinite array of digital dealers further enhances the scope and scale of operations. Co-founder of Avanti Studios, Jonas Delin, emphasized the overwhelming interest from operators in these regions, stating: "Since exiting our stealth mode at ICE, we’ve received a huge amount of interest from operators in Spain and Brazil and Light & Wonder is the perfect distributor to not only support our launch in those markets, but also as we continue to execute on our aggressive market expansion plans for 2026 and 2027." This sentiment is echoed by Stuart Banks, Managing Director – Global Partnerships at Light & Wonder, who acknowledges Avanti’s games as "a fast and fully customizable solution that can easily scale to keep up with demand." Avanti Studios, established by industry pioneers Gustaf Hagman and Jonas Delin, operates from Stockholm, where it continually pushes the boundaries of gaming through innovative motion capture and AI integrations. With its strategic expansion underway, Avanti is poised to redefine the landscape of live casinos across the globe.
