Former LeoVegas Group CEO Gustaf Hagman and industry veteran Jonas Delin have announced the launch of a live casino supplier, Avanti Studios, that will use AI dealers instead of humans.
Avanti Studios’ “lifelike” croupiers will be created by its in-house motion capture studio that records the movements, mannerisms and techniques of human dealers.
Delivered in real-time, the dealers and environments can be “customised to perfectly match any operator’s brand, language, appearance, dealing speed and stakes”.
The supplier’s live experience will be powered by a proprietary cloud-based Unreal Engine streaming protocol designed for mobile players.
Avanti Studios will officially rollout across regulated markets in Q1 2026, starting with Spain, and will initially offer live baccarat and blackjack variants, as well as its own exclusive and original games.
The startup claims its product can deliver between 50% to 60% in cost reductions compared to traditional live casino suppliers.
Hagman, who co-founded LeoVegas Group in 2011 and stepped down as CEO last June, said his new venture is “build for the future”.
He added: “Player trust has always been the cornerstone of live casino success. At Avanti, we preserve that trust through genuine real-time multiplayer action while leveraging next-gen technology for flawless execution and scalability.
“This is live casino done better – it’s authentic, reliable and has been built for the future.”
Delin, the founder and former CEO of Authentic Gaming, said: “Traditional live casino has been slow to embrace innovation.
“We’ve put technology at the centre, eliminating human error and operational bottlenecks, so that operators can focus on growth whilst providing the best possible player experience.
“Our model enables rapid game launches, continuous feature updates and game innovation at a pace the industry has never seen in this vertical.”
AI dealers have cropped up across the industry in recent months, with both SkillOnNet and BetHog pushing out products.
