Exciting new live casino studio On Air Entertainment has today hit the airwaves with its debut offering, Standard Blackjack, realising its ambitions to shake up the industry.

After embarking on its mission to disrupt the live casino space with world-leading content in December 2020, the company has succeeded in bringing its innovative live dealer product to life in less than a year.
On Air has developed Standard Blackjack with a player-first focus, providing round-the-clock streaming, one-to-one customer support, player chat with language filtering and special features to speed up gameplay, and delivering an all-round slick entertainment experience on any device.

The Deal Now feature allows players to shorten the game’s betting phase, while Pre-decisions lets them decide on an action before their turn. Adding to the action, the game also offers Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets, with a chance to win up to 100x the original bet. Multiple Seat and Bet Behind features are in the pipeline and will be added soon.

Broadcasting from a state-of-the-art new studio in Riga, Latvia, seven English-language blackjack tables are now open for bets. A second environment with three tables is cued up for 30 November, with an anticipated total of 20 tables due to be live by the end of the year.

An initial group of customers, including Bett99, Gammix and Coolbet, were first to take Standard Blackjack live and more operators are set to join in the action soon.

On Air has promised to make casino management simple with zero hidden fees to all operators, while ensuring easy and speedy game integration. In line with today’s release, the studio has also powered up a purpose-built platform and back-office.

Hot on the heels of the company’s English-language blackjack tables, additional language tables will be ready for rollout from 14 December, with more languages to come. A third environment showcasing a very different look and feel is waiting in the wings for January, while the first Roulette game is set to premiere in February.

Having already achieved Malta Gaming Authority, Isle of Man and Latvia regulatory approvals, On Air plans to extend its global reach to multiple regulated markets in the coming months.

Over the last year, the studio has developed a 200-strong team of skilled employees, while expanding to four operational hubs. It is now ramping up recruitment to bring even more top talent into the limelight, including game presenters and shufflers.

Andres Rengifo, Managing Director at On Air Entertainment, said: “We set out with ambitious plans to bring a brand-new studio and a premium live casino product to the table in less than a year, and have succeeded in doing just that – an incredible achievement for our business. It’s thanks to the unstoppable drive, passion and unity our talented team has shown that we have accomplished in just 11 months what has taken others years to achieve!

“Looking ahead to the new year, we’ll be keeping up the momentum with the release of seven classic and unique titles throughout 2022. And with plans to establish a presence in multiple regulated markets, including the UK and Greece in early 2022, there’s no chance of us slowing down!”

The transition to the new statutory gambling harms system is well underway and ahead of this process reaching completion on 1 April 2026, GambleAware’s Chair of trustees, Andy Boucher, and Baroness Twycross, the Minister for Gambling, have issued the following statements:

Andy Boucher, Chair of trustees, GambleAware has said: “The introduction of the new statutory levy and the appointment of the three new commissioners for gambling harms research, prevention and treatment means that, as expected, the work historically delivered by GambleAware will now transition to the UK government and new commissioners across England, Scotland and Wales. We have advocated for the introduction of a statutory system for many years and are proud of our contribution to its implementation. Alongside this, we are also proud of the impact GambleAware’s prevention and treatment activity has had in supporting tens of thousands of people over the years, through our national campaigns and our commissioned partners, including the National Gambling Support Network. Recognising the change across the system, trustees have decided that GambleAware, the charity, will work towards a managed closure by 31 March 2026.

“We remain committed to fulfilling existing commissioning agreements until the new system is in place by April 2026. Our main priority continues to be keeping people safe from gambling harm and to ensure stability and continuity for our beneficiaries as the new commissioners take over. The GambleAware website and critical prevention resources continue to provide accessible support for all.

“Over the years, GambleAware and many third-sector partners have worked closely with the lived experience community to deliver a range of effective, evidence-based services. The National Gambling Support Network has been a cornerstone of this effort, supporting thousands of people annually. GambleAware’s national prevention programmes have also provided crucial advice, tools and support to millions of people in order to reduce gambling harm. Myself and other trustees are incredibly proud of the successful work that has been delivered over the years and the impact it has had across Great Britain.

“Since 2017, GambleAware has championed the development of a statutory, public health-led system to address gambling harm. We welcome this new era in which gambling harms are recognised alongside other public health issues and are funded through a statutory levy. As we enter the final phase of our commissioning work, we urge NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, UK Research and Innovation, and the appropriate bodies in Scotland and Wales to build upon the current system’s achievements and insights to ensure learnings are carried forward.

“On behalf of the entire Board of trustees, I would like to also recognise the unwavering commitment and drive of the GambleAware staff, leadership team and Lived Experience Council. Their collective work over the years has played a pivotal role in advancing efforts to reduce and prevent harm across Great Britain.”

Minister for Gambling, Baroness Twycross, said: “GambleAware and others across the third sector, including the National Gambling Support Network, have worked with tireless commitment over the years to commission and deliver effective services for people experiencing gambling-related harm.

“As the new statutory gambling levy system comes into effect, managing a smooth and stable transition is an absolute priority, and we are taking significant steps to maintain service provision. The new levy system will build on the successes of the current system to improve and expand efforts to further understand, tackle and treat harmful gambling.

“I want to thank GambleAware and all their staff for their efforts to support those in need across our country.”
