These include cutting-edge titles that are streamed directly from a state-of-the-art studio and the floors of some of the world’s most luxurious casino resorts, as well as a range of innovative auto-roulette games. The provider recently improved its portfolio with the addition of live Blackjack, while Baccarat features in its upcoming product roadmap.

Scientific Games has strong ambitions to further extend Authentic Gaming’s product offering across the U.S. market. This includes creating new studios based in the U.S., enabling the Company to offer a localized product for operators across the region.

“We are thrilled to have Authentic Gaming join the Scientific Games family and expand our premium product portfolio as we execute on our vision to become the leading, cross-platform global game company. The collective power of Authentic, our proven Table Games titles and our OpenGaming platform allow us to capitalize on a growing U.S. market opportunity with our unique omni-channel approach.” said Barry Cottle, CEO of Scientific Games.

Dylan Slaney, CEO iGaming, at Scientific Games, said: “As a result of welcoming Authentic to Scientific Games, we will be uniquely positioned to continue to excite and entertain players to capture both the growth opportunities that exist within Live Casino and the convergence of players globally across digital and land-based channels by providing leading immersive experiences. We are excited to work with the talented team at Authentic to enhance our iGaming proposition for both operators and players.”

Jonas Delin, CEO and founder of Authentic Gaming, said, “Scientific Games’ leading position in the U.S., their focus on quality games content and market-leading iGaming platform make them the ideal home for Authentic to expand our footprint in the U.S. and European markets. Our proven technology and live dealer platform is ready for scale and now, as part of Scientific Games, we are able to embark on our studio expansion and game diversification strategy in full force.”

Delin adds, “Our strategy is driven by a relentless focus on delivering premium quality live dealer content where attention to detail, customer customization and innovation are the corner stones that our unique live dealer games are based on.

Hub88 launches Player Analytics to give operators complete view of user behaviour

Hub88 has enhanced its Operator Backoffice suite with the launch of Player Analytics, a tool designed to provide operators with a clear, actionable view of player behaviour across their platform.

Traditionally, understanding player activity has been a manual, time-consuming process, often requiring data to be pulled from multiple systems or spreadsheets. Player Analytics consolidates this information into a single interface, improving efficiency and enabling data-driven decision-making.

The tool offers two main interfaces:

  • Table View: Provides broad segmentation and filtering across the entire player base. Operators can sort players by date, product, country, device, currency, or player ID, and save custom segments for ongoing analysis.

  • Player Profile: Delivers a detailed overview of individual users, including gameplay history, KPIs, supplier activity, devices, currencies, geography, and flagged events — all presented via customizable charts and dashboards.

With advanced insights, operators can detect financial spikes or drops, analyze behavioural trends, forecast churn, and identify potential fraud. Linking supplier IDs directly to player activity also helps operators spot inconsistencies and streamline support processes.

Ollie Castleman, Managing Director of Hub88, commented:

“With high volumes of player activity, modern operators are often overwhelmed by raw data. Player Analytics gives teams the ability to understand player behaviour at both a high level and in granular detail, without relying on manual processes or specialists. Operators deserve clarity, speed and actionable insight, and through this new tool, they can make smarter decisions with confidence.”

The launch of Player Analytics reinforces Hub88’s commitment to providing operators with tools that enhance efficiency, support long-term growth, and maximize platform performance.
