Authentic Gaming is the newbie in the world of live casino software companies. This means that it has to show players yet what it can offer. For now, it offers great roulette games streamed live from premium resorts and casinos.
The company takes great pride in its live mobile casino platform. According to the officials, Authentic Gaming offers the next generation in mobile live dealer games. You can’t fake authenticity, they say. The video quality of the games is fully integrated HD regardless of the type of device. On top of that, your live gambling experience is never compromised or lost due to device limitations or screen size. The croupiers, floor managers and pit-bosses employed by Authentic have priceless experience; the tables and wheels are of the highest quality and the games are conducted and managed by the staff and operators following industry’s best practice, noy to mention that the company is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority.
Studios
It’s safe to say that Authentic Gaming is a unique software developer in the live casino world, as it clearly prefers streaming from land-based casinos, as opposed to investing in live dealer studios. The company has one dedicated studio facility in Malta called Authentic Arena where Auto Roulette and Blaze Roulette take place. The rest of the products are streamed from 6 different land-based casinos.
One of the locations for the live games is Saint Vincent Resort & Casino. This casino is notable for entertaining guests like Sean Connery. Actually, in 1963 Sean Connery won €163,000 after just two losing bets. Want to play on the same table on which Mr. Bond played? Feel free to choose between European-style roulette and the Duo option.
Authentic Gaming has further roulette tables in Foxwoods Resorts Casino in the USA, Royal Casino in Denmark, Aspers Casino in London, Casino International, Batumi Georgia and in the Platinum Casino in Bucharest. These are all luxurious venues, and provide a thrilling experience for players who haven’t had the chance to set foot in such prestigious brick and mortar casinos.
More About Authentic Gaming Games
The fact that the games are streamed from respected and renown casino resorts gives you a hint at the level of professionalism and atmosphere authenticity. These resorts employ only the best staff, so be sure to play against that same staff used to host games for the elite. Therefore, Authentic Gaming provides casinos and their players with premium live games.
The company even provides a solution called Shipboard Gaming. This one is intended for operators aboard ship cruises that want to provide games to passengers on the cruise. Especially to those passengers that don’t want to stay at the tables, but instead they want to play live roulette on their mobiles from their cabins, the deck, the restaurant and all over the ship. All in all, this is a very player focused gaming platform that offers all kinds of solutions for operators.
Live Roulette
Live roulette is the only type of game offered with the Authentic Gaming software. There are plans to add baccarat in the future. However, roulette is offered in several different variations. All variations are mobile ready and the company is very proud on the live experience that they provide users of Android and iOS devices. Actually, the playing interface was programmed for mobiles first. When one encounters Authentic’s portfolio for the first time, the games appear different than polished studio options we’re used to seeing in Evolution or Playtech lobbies. With time, the raw authenticity of the games becomes immersive and pulls you in so that you stop minding the raw footage and the comparative slowness of the feed and you start enjoying the real deal.

There is one feature that the Authentic Gaming roulette games offer and other live casino providers don’t. It’s the Bet on Stats feature, an innovative option which allows you to bet based on the hit rates of individual numbers. The rates range from the last 50 to the last 500 spins. Authentic also introduces the high-roller functionality which enables bettors to make Full Complete bets with a single click.

Native Tables
Even though all Authentic Gaming live dealers are clearly experienced professionals capable of juggling chips and delivering cards like experts, they can sometimes struggle with specific expressions that they had to memorise in English. They all use English and there are no native tables. Perhaps, this is also where the company should aim to expand in its future ventures, apart from the obvious need of more live dealer games besides roulette.
Our Verdict
The attention to detail in the user interfaces of Authentic Gaming’s roulette variations is impressive. As you play you realize how much time and resources were invested into developing and testing the most user-friendly games. On top of that the games feel and look very traditional. This is probably because they are hosted in some of the finest casino resorts where high quality tables are used and professional croupiers host the games. You can’t get that from live casino games streamed from studios.
It’s obvious that the target market of Authentic Gaming are players used to playing in land casinos. Or, at least players that prefer live casino games streamed from authentic casinos, and not professional studios.
