The panel consists of Adam Rosenberg (Senior Advisor, Gaming & Leisure. Blackstone), Evert Einroos (Partner, Yolo Investments), Peter Heneghen (Senior Associate, Bettor Capital), Hilary Stewart-Jones (Independent Consultant, Harris Hagan) and Claudia de la Riva (Angel Investor, Various), who will each cast their vote to determine the winner.

LuckyStreak elevates live casino portfolio with Prestige Blackjack and new Auto-Roulette games

LuckyStreak, the Riga-based live casino provider, has unveiled significant upgrades to its live dealer portfolio with the launch of Prestige Blackjack, Signature Auto-Roulette, and Auto-Roulette Lounge.

The new releases form part of LuckyStreak’s ongoing product development strategy, aimed at enhancing the player experience while preserving the authenticity and trust that live casino players expect.

All three titles are broadcast live from LuckyStreak’s state-of-the-art Riga studio, streamed globally in 1080p HD and supported by secure, scalable infrastructure designed to ensure reliable delivery for operators and players worldwide.

A Refined Blackjack Experience

Prestige Blackjack introduces a sophisticated new take on one of the casino industry’s most iconic games. The studio environment has been carefully designed to replicate the feel of an exclusive private gaming lounge, combining contemporary aesthetics with subtle lighting and layered depth to create an immersive yet focused setting.

The result is a premium blackjack experience that honours the game’s heritage while modernising the atmosphere in which it is played. As with all LuckyStreak live titles, the game is hosted by expertly trained dealers who deliver each session with professionalism, warmth, and energy.

Reinventing Auto-Roulette

LuckyStreak has also expanded its roulette offering with two new versions of the popular automated format: Signature Auto-Roulette and Auto-Roulette Lounge.

Both titles feature enhanced studio environments designed to move away from traditional or dated aesthetics:

  • Signature Auto-Roulette presents a sleek, modern studio design with a contemporary backdrop.

  • Auto-Roulette Lounge offers a more relaxed atmosphere inspired by a private casino lounge.

While visually distinct, both games retain the core features players expect from live auto-roulette, including the transparency of a real-time roulette stream and high-speed gameplay capable of reaching up to 90 rounds per hour.

Introducing Cold Streaks

The new roulette titles also debut Cold Streaks, a statistical display showing the number of spins since a particular number last appeared. The feature provides players with additional data insights while remaining subtle and unobtrusive within the overall interface.

Supporting Long-Term Product Innovation

These enhancements are designed to increase engagement and immersion while maintaining the familiar mechanics that have made roulette one of the most enduring casino games globally.

The launches represent an important milestone in LuckyStreak’s broader product evolution following the appointment of Head of Product Neil Brookes, whose leadership has sharpened the company’s focus on quality, delivery, and innovation.

Neil Brookes, Head of Product at LuckyStreak, said:

“These releases represent a clear step forward in our approach to product development at LuckyStreak. Our aim was to refine and elevate classic casino experiences without losing the elements that players already love. Prestige Blackjack and the new Auto-Roulette environments are designed to feel modern, premium and immersive while remaining intuitive and authentic.

“Since joining LuckyStreak we’ve strengthened our product vision and raised our standards around quality and execution. These launches are the first of several purposeful upgrades we have planned as we build the foundations for an exciting year ahead.”

Through the continued expansion of its live casino portfolio, LuckyStreak is further strengthening its reputation for delivering high-quality live casino experiences supported by dependable technology and premium production values.

The new titles are available immediately to LuckyStreak’s global network of operator partners and can be seamlessly integrated via the company’s live casino platform and existing integrations.
