(AsiaGameHub) – Avanti Studios has secured fresh investment as it nears the launch of its first-ever live casino games, after closing an EUR 5 million funding round that brings its total seed funding to EUR 10 million. For an early-stage supplier still developing its first commercial products, this level of interest signals strong investor demand for innovative new approaches to live casino entertainment.
The Studio Has a Novel Approach to Live Casino
Several of Avanti’s backers are well-recognized names in the global gambling industry. Genting Casinos UK, which backed Avanti in its initial funding round, returned for further funding, further cementing its status as a key investor in the company. The continued participation of an established land-based operator provides Avanti with much-needed credibility and industry insight as it prepares to launch its product lineup.
I’m extremely proud of the investor group we’ve put together. Their backing shows not just belief in our company, but belief in the future of our space.
Gustaf Hagman, Avanti Studios co-founder
Avanti is building a model that stands apart from traditional live studio setups. Its system combines motion capture of real dealers with artificial intelligence and 3D rendering to create digital croupiers that can host games in real time. This concept eliminates many of the physical limitations of mainstream live casino productions, such as constraints on studio space, staffing caps, and limits on the number of active tables.
Partner operators can launch multiple custom tables at the same time and offer games in different languages without delays. Company leaders note that this approach delivers improved efficiency and can reshape the pace and overall feel of live casino play. Avanti aims to deliver a smoother experience, cut down on human error, and speed up gameplay while still retaining the authentic feeling of human interaction.
Key Partnerships Will Support the Upcoming Launch
This new funding round closes just ahead of the company’s first full product launch. Avanti’s first games will launch later this month, marking a key milestone after extensive development and testing. The company has already announced its first commercial deal in Spain with local operator Luckia.es. Avanti’s games will also be accessible across multiple regulated markets through a partnership with Light & Wonder.
For co-founders Gustaf Hagman and Jonas Delin, this latest funding round is less about building short-term momentum and more about laying the foundations for a new kind of live casino supplier. Both view the rise of real-time digital characters as a growing trend, that reflects shifting player expectations toward more flexible and interactive gaming formats.
We firmly believe that the future belongs to real-time, lifelike, interactive digital humans.
Jonas Delin, Avanti Studios co-founder
Whether players will embrace this type of product remains uncertain. Even so, investors have shown they are willing to let the company prove the merits of its approach. With funding and partnerships now secured, the next few months will show if Avanti’s unique approach will help it carve out a niche in a market already crowded with well-established providers.
