Playtech launches Prestige Baccarat

Playtech has launched Prestige Baccarat, the second instalment in the growing series of hugely popular Prestige live casino titles offering unique and superior gameplay, including five dynamic camera views for a closer to the action offering.

The classic game of Baccarat has been given a modern day makeover with Playtech’s offering unique to the live casino market. The live Baccarat experience has been significantly enhanced with five gameplay angles and action replays of winning hands enabling players to get closer to the action than in any physical or online environment.

Staged in a newly designed environment, Prestige Baccarat offers a custom designed cloth and backdrop which depicts the Chinese symbol for Luck, plus a series of specially positioned cameras which focus on the ‘Squeeze’ element of Baccarat and reinforce the values and experience this type of game is aimed to deliver.

The game’s user experience and journey has also been re-engineered and enhanced for ease of use, while the dealers themselves have been hand-picked for their Baccarat skillset and native languages depending on which options players select.
The game showcases Playtech Live’s first re-engineered user interface which, following the company’s release of HTML5 Roulette, has been built in close co-operation with licensees. Extensive discovery sessions and customer feedback and the addition of hand-picked expert Baccarat dealers, combine to create Playtech Live’s best ever UI to date.

Set in an intimate, neon-lit environment Prestige Roulette enables players to get closer to the action and the dealer with the game replicating a real-life, one-on-one VIP casino experience. While the ball spins in expectation of a big win, the tension is heightened with multiple in-game camera angles, revenue-enhancing quick-fire betting rounds, and an instant replay of the previous game win.

Kevin Kilminster, Head of Innovation, Playtech Live, said: “A great deal of research, development and close co-operation with licensees has gone into what we are confident is the best live Baccarat product on the market.

“The newly refined live game contains the classic squeeze variations as well as the squeeze logic associated with one of the most popular casino games in the world. The feedback has been very positive so far and we’re sure it will go from strength-to-strength.”

Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said: “Prestige Baccarat and the Prestige suite of products marks the beginning of a very exciting journey and Playtech Live unveiling its next generation of live casino games, platform technology and software that we believe will take live casino to an entirely new level of product capability, performance and personalisation.”
