Overview
The Genting Group is one of the world’s largest casino gaming organizations: market value over $30 billion; more than 35,000 staff; 4,500 hectares of resort land. They own and operate integrated resorts across Asia, including Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa, and they are the UK’s largest casino operator with over 40 properties there. Legendary brands such as the Crockfords Club and Maxims Casino Club are part of their UK casino portfolio.
They are now looking to make their presence felt online, and their live casino offering has big budget written all over it. Powered by Evolution Gaming, and boasting not one, but two exclusive areas…the Genting and Crockford rooms in addition to the ever growing range of regular floor tables in Evolution’s Riga studio.
In October 2019 the Genting Group demonstrated further commitment to the live gaming vertical, by acquiring Authentic Gaming from Leo Vegas. We did expect more in-casino tables marrying Genting properties with Authentic technology to surface in the near future.
