Pragmatic Play Unveils Widely Popular Baccarat And Other Live Casino Games

Leading provider adds Baccarat, Speed Baccarat and Roulette Macao to fast-growing Live Casino portfolio
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has significantly expanded its Live Casino portfolio.
The provider launched two variants of the land-based favourite, Baccarat. The game has all the features expected of the table game, with a Pragmatic Play twist. Players have access to clear statistical trends showing the total pot and quantity of players for Player, Banker and Tie bet fields, as well as offering a number of side bets.
All Baccarat tables come in the Regular Mode, but players can switch to No-Commission Mode at any moment during the game, by just pressing the Super 6 button available on the interface. The Super 6 side bet can be won if the Banker beats the Player with a total of 6 points, paid at 15:1 with any other outcome representing a loss.
Pragmatic Play’s Speed Baccarat takes the traditional style of play and elevates it to a whole new level. Giving an increased air of excitement, every game round takes just 27 seconds. The betting time is limited to 12 seconds and the cards are dealt face up as soon as the betting time is over. Speed Baccarat creates a feeling of continuous action and excitement.
Roulette Macao enhances the supplier’s array of roulette titles, aimed at evoking the feel and gameplay of luxurious land-based resorts around the globe. Broadcast from Pragmatic Play’s live studio with 4K camera technology and having all the game features players have come to expect, this latest addition joins other popular language-centric titles in the ever-expanding Live Casino offering.
Lana Bleichyk, Live Casino Operations Manager at Pragmatic Play, said: “We are continually looking at ways to innovate and expand our Live Casino portfolio and we have achieved this through the addition of these titles. Baccarat is a highly popular live casino game, despite its simplicity, so we are looking forward to seeing big engagement with this one.
“With the creation of a fast-paced live casino title, Speed Baccarat, we endeavor to appeal to players who enjoy the immersive nature of a traditional casino, coupled with the accessibility of a modern day, mobile experience.”
Pragmatic Play’s slot catalogue continues to grow with four titles added every month. All Pragmatic Play slots, as well as its Live Casino and Bingo products, are available through a single API integration.

ZEAL Network CEO Helmut Becker Will Not Extend His Contract Beyond January 2026

Dr. Helmut Becker, CEO of ZEAL Network, has informed the Supervisory Board of the company of his decision not to extend his contract, which runs until January 31, 2026. The 56-year-old has decided to pursue his own entrepreneurial activities in the future after many years as a top manager. Dr Becker will then leave the company after more than twelve years on the Executive Board of ZEAL Network SE, including more than ten as CEO. He will remain fully committed to ZEAL as CEO until the end of his contract term and will ensure a smooth transition of his duties to a successor.
“ZEAL is in an excellent position to continue to grow in the future. After almost ten years as CEO, I have decided that now is the right time to pursue my own entrepreneurial endeavours. This has been a difficult decision for me. I will especially miss our exceptionally strong team and the unique culture we have built together, characterised by innovation, customer focus and team spirit. I will continue to work hard until the end of my term to achieve the goals we have set together,” said Dr Becker.
Dr Becker informed the Supervisory Board of ZEAL Network SE about his decision at an early stage, and the Supervisory Board will immediately initiate a structured process for the succession of the CEO.
Peter Steiner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said: “The Supervisory Board of ZEAL Network SE has noted with great regret Helmut Becker’s decision not to seek a contract extension. Helmut Becker has played a decisive role in taking ZEAL’s business development to a new level. Under his leadership, ZEAL has established itself as a market leader in the online lottery market, significantly expanded its customer base and crucially broadened its offering through innovative product development. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank him for his outstanding commitment and strategic vision. We wish him all the best for his personal life and professional career.”
Dr Becker has been CEO of ZEAL Network since September 1, 2015, after serving as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for over two years. Prior to joining the Executive Board, he was a member of the Supervisory Board of ZEAL for two years. Previously, he served as Chief Commercial Officer on the Management Board of XING AG and held various management positions at eBay Germany and as a management consultant at McKinsey. As CEO, Dr Becker was responsible for the acquisition of LOTTO24 AG, the return of ZEAL to Germany and the expansion of the portfolio to include freiheit+, Games and Traumhausverlosung.

Gamblorium Enhances Casino Reviews with Updated Rating System

Gamblorium, a trusted online casino affiliate platform, announces its new and improved casino rating system. This updated system is designed to give players even more accurate and transparent rankings for online casinos. Since 2020, Gamblorium has been known for providing honest and expert-tested casino reviews. With this updated rating system, Gamblorium continues to ensure players can easily find the best gambling sites.
The new rating system combines three key components: Gamblorium Score, Player Score and Market Score. These scores are based on a 100-point scale, providing players with a clear and reliable way to choose casinos that meet their preferences.
Main features of Gamblorium’s new rating system:
• Gamblorium score: The Gamblorium Score evaluates casinos based on over 100 criteria, including payment methods, game options, security and user experience. Unlike other platforms, Gamblorium uses a relative and flexible approach, meaning casinos are ranked based on their strengths within their market. This score also incorporates Expert Scoring, ensuring that the most important factors are weighted appropriately.
• Player score: The Player Score is based on feedback from real users. Players can leave reviews only if they have registered or played at the casino, ensuring honest and up-to-date feedback. This makes the reviews highly reliable and reflective of the actual player experience.
• Market score: The Market Score helps balance the overall rating by considering the views of other trusted gambling platforms. This adds another layer of objectivity and ensures that Gamblorium’s reviews remain fair and unbiased.
