ICONIC21 launches Squeeze Baccarat RNG game with player-controlled reveal
ICONIC21 has launched Squeeze Baccarat, a new RNG baccarat title designed around the “squeeze” reveal mechanic more commonly associated with live-table play.
In the game, the player controls the reveal pace, using actions such as peeling back an edge to uncover each card, rather than watching a standard automated animation sequence.
ICONIC21 said the title is fully customisable, including interface and card design, positioning it for operator branding and lobby integration.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “The squeeze is one of those moments every baccarat player is excited about. That slow, deliberate reveal before the big win is what makes it tense. The problem? That feeling almost never survives the jump to RNG. It gets replaced by an animation and the magic is gone.
“We refused to let that happen. Getting the squeeze right in a digital environment is genuinely hard but we successfully managed, and honestly, we’re pretty excited about what came out. Instead of watching it happen, the player controls the reveal themselves.
“Add full brand customisation on top of that, and what you have is something operators can truly call their own. We can’t wait to see what our partners do with it.”

Microgaming Live has launched All-In Speed Baccarat, a new live casino table that went live on 17 June. The product is positioned as an update to Speed Baccarat, adding new interactive and visual elements alongside the faster gameplay format.
The table uses a modern neon studio design intended to stand out in the lobby. Microgaming Live said it has also added engagement tools to make the experience feel more responsive during play.
New features include a mascot, Tokki, which reacts in real time to outcomes as well as Good Roads and Dragon Tail events. Players can use sticker reactions during gameplay and send gifts to presenters.
The table also introduces Mystery Box Rounds, which the company said allow players to earn points and unlock stickers and gifts.
A Microgaming spokesperson said: “All-In Speed Baccarat keeps the pace and familiarity that players already enjoy, while adding more energy and ways to engage with the table in real-time. The aim was to make the experience feel more rewarding and more immersive, without losing the speed and simplicity that makes baccarat such an enduring live casino format.”

Pragmatic Play has expanded its live casino portfolio with the launch of Amazing Baccarat, a multiplier-driven variation on the Speed Baccarat format, the supplier said on 16th June 2026.
The game retains standard baccarat rules and fast-paced rounds, but introduces “Lucky Cards” mechanics. In each round, five Lucky Cards are randomly selected and assigned multipliers of up to 200x. If the winning hand contains one or more Lucky Cards, their multipliers are added together and applied to the standard payout, which Pragmatic Play said can deliver wins of up to 6,600:1 on main bets.
Amazing Baccarat also introduces a new side bet, “Amazing 8s,” alongside Player Pair and Banker Pair. Players win the Amazing 8s side bet when both hands tie with a score of eight, paying 55:1 before any Lucky Card multipliers are applied—creating a stated win potential of up to 66,000:1.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Amazing Baccarat takes the fast-paced gameplay players love from Speed Baccarat and enhances it with thrilling multipliers and exciting new side bet opportunities.
“The addition of Lucky Cards and the Amazing 8s feature creates extra anticipation in every round, delivering a dynamic experience that stands out in live casino lobbies.”
