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.

Gamification
Soft2Bet launches MEGA Shoot World Cup gamification engine
Soft2Bet has launched MEGA Shoot, a football-themed gamification engine designed around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, aimed at helping sportsbook operators retain players during the tournament.
The product will be deployed across selected Soft2Bet brands including Betinia, Swiper, Campobet, ToonieBet and Elabet, with availability spanning markets including Denmark, Greece, Mexico, New Jersey, Ontario, Romania, and the rest of Canada, according to the company.
MEGA Shoot uses a player-versus-player best-of-five penalty shootout format. Players alternate between striker and goalkeeper, with the striker selecting where to shoot and the goalkeeper selecting where to defend. Each round resolves as a goal or a save before roles switch.
Soft2Bet said early internal results show 31.9% engagement among active players across selected brands, with 71.2% of MEGA Shoot players going on to play a second match. The company also claims a 13.5% player retention uplift.
Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, said: “The World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July, so retention has to work across the full tournament calendar. MEGA Shoot gives operators a football game that players can understand quickly, with head-to-head competition tied to the sport they already follow. With almost 32% engagement among active players and about 71% converting into a second match, the early data shows how tournament-led gamification can strengthen sportsbook engagement during major football events.”
