Pragmatic Play launches two new live baccarat games

Pragmatic Play – one of the leading content providers in the iGaming industry – has recently launched new baccarat variations for live dealer casinos.

These variants, called the Super 8 Baccarat and Fortune 6, are designed to bring a new and fresh twist to classic baccarat. The addition gives players newer challenges and makes active participation even easier.

Fortune 6 gives players the opportunity to place several side bets (either on Player or Banker) to guess whose hand is closest to having a value of nine. As a unique twist to standard live dealer baccarat, players can also place wagers on the exclusive ‘Fortune 6’ side bet, which promises high payouts when a six is drawn in the first three cards.

The main feature of Super 8 Baccarat is another unique side bet. In the game, players place a side bet and win if their first two cards drawn form an eight (called a ‘natural’). They can also win if the cards, either on Player or Banker, have the same colour and/or suit.

These latest additions are testament to how Pragmatic Play is not afraid to experiment and blaze new trails in the iGaming industry. The developer’s is renowned for creating new gaming experiences out of already-existing games – such as Sweet Bonanza Candyland, which is a mashup of roulette and blackjack.

Commenting on the latest development, Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Fortune 6 and Super 8 Baccarat allow us to bring a brand-new dynamic to one of the oldest and most popular casino experiences in the world and add additional decision-making to the classic game through unique side bet opportunities providing more ways to win.”

Although Pragmatic Play already has a vast portfolio with the production of up to seven new slot titles a month, along with live casino and bingo games, this latest release will go a long way in strengthening its hold in the industry.
