Authentic Gaming Welcomes Oliver Reid as New Chief Operating Officer

Live roulette specialist, Authentic Gaming, is proud to present new reinforcement to the company. Evolution Gaming’s (EG) veteran, Oliver Reid, will join AG’s senior management team, to help them expand into multiple regulated territories around the globe.

Reid will be appointed as Chief Operating Officer (COO), and his wealthy experience will make a valuable contribution to the team.

Jonas Delin, CEO of Authentic Gaming, commented as follows:

"I’m very pleased to bolster what is already an incredibly strong management team. Authentic Gaming has a “player first” mentality and this, coupled with Oliver's 20 years’ experience in land-based and online live table gaming operations, we will be ideally placed to further enhance, and optimize the overall player experience."

Wealthy Experience in the Industry

Reid has more than two decades of valuable experience in the gambling sector, working across online, live dealers, land-based operations, business intelligence, and product development.

Commenting on the new role in AG, Reid said:

“I'm excited to be returning to the live casino sector with Authentic Gaming. The company has a great team and has always found a way to differentiate and lead the market in creating the most authentic experience for retail to online play.”

As Chief Operating Officer…

… Reid will be responsible for accelerating and enhancing the client onboarding process, bolstering the customer operations departments to ensure a continued best in class service, and overseeing studio expansion.

Reid joins Authentic from the Olympic Entertainment Group where he held the role of Group Analytics Director. He has also held senior roles at Evolution and Aspers Group. One of the major tasks Reid was involved with was EG’s opening of studios in Vancouver and New Jersey.

Reid also added:

“Operators and players are appreciating the entertainment experience live casino has to offer and I'm looking forward to supporting the growth strategies of online gaming for all of our partners.”

Besides the new COO…

...the studio also welcomed another veteran to its team. In November 2019, Dan Morrison, who’s been part of the industry for more than 13 years, assumed duties of Head of Sales.

Multiple Partnerships and Coalitions

The forward-thinking live games producer is growing rapidly, thanks to numerous agreements with some of the biggest operators. One of the most recent deals was made with 888 Casino, giving the studio an opportunity to showcase its top-quality content to consumers in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, and other markets.

Also…

…the company announced the collaboration with Interwetten, thanks to which their players will be able to access the complete collection of developer’s distinctive products. All broadcasts take place from ARENA, a state-of-the-art studio that exhibits Grand Roulette, Blaze Roulette, and 24/7 Roulette, all arranged to resemble a TV game show.

In October 2019…

…AG was acquired from LeoVegas by Genting, and the agreement was estimated to EUR 15 million with a return of more than 100 percent in the next three years. As a result, Genting got the chance to showcase Authentic’s top-class products to a wide spectrum of its clients.
