Pragmatic Play adds new Speed Blackjack tables to Live Casino product suite; partners Betfun for Argentina expansion
Following its expansion in Argentina via Betfun and online casino games provider Pragmatic Play is “bringing new gaming opportunities to its players” having enhanced its Live Casino product suite with Speed Blackjack.
The new Speed variant of the classic game of blackjack is feature-packed and includes side bets, Auto-Decisions and more, providing users with an accelerated play session and the “premium” live casino experience they are looking for, according to the supplier.
Product Enhancements:
Pragmatic’s latest addition to its multi-product offering also allows multiple decision offers to be made at the same time, which cuts the length of the game round by up to 30 percent. Auto-Decisions, meanwhile, can be player strategy-based and include stands or hits for rapid gameplay.
Additionally, players can expect an improved user interface (UI) and quick seating, while “expert” game hosts will provide an “immersive” gaming experience.
The expansion marks further expansion for Pragmatic Play’s luxurious new Ruby Studio, where VIP tables and regular blackjack tables are live broadcasted from the provider’s state-of-the-art, Bucharest premises complete with 4K camera technology.
New Gaming Opportunities:
“Bringing new gaming opportunities to players is at the core of what we aim to do at Pragmatic Play and we’re very pleased to grow the footprint of our catalogue further with the launch of our new product, Speed Blackjack,” read a statement from Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer for Pragmatic Play.
Barzely adds that the performance of their Live Casino offering is a “great success story,” and they are “keen to capitalise further on the luxury environment.”
Motivated Monthly Game Quota:
The latest addition to the supplier’s product portfolio comes as it ramps up the development of its online slots, with the extremely motivated goal of releasing up to eight new games per month (from the current 5-6 monthly), while also increasing the capabilities of its Live Casino, Bingo and Virtual Sports verticals.
Betfun Tie-Up:
And, as mentioned, the new live casino game launch follows Pragmatic’s new partnership with Argentinian betting and online casino operator Betfun.
The deal that further strengthens its position in the South American country’s iGaming market, will see the operator gain access to the provider’s award-winning slot content, including player-favorite titles such as Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, the popular John Hunter series, as from its growing Live Casino portfolio, Auto Roulette.
Pragmatic Play’s new alliance is in keeping with its growth strategy for the regulated market of the City of Buenos Aires, as well as throughout the LatAm market. Late last month, the supplier partnered with up-and-coming sports betting and online casino brand BetWarrior in Buenos Aires Province and Buenos Aires City, Argentina’s two main jurisdictions.
South America Expansion:
Victor Arias, Vice President of Latin American Operations for Pragmatic Play, who just took home Best Gaming Executive LatAm of the Year at the 12th annual CGS LatAm in Chile, said they are “pleased” to work with Betfun “in this capacity, their position within Buenos Aires City, Argentina” will allow more players to have access to their games.
“The operator will be launching a selection of our top-performing slot games, and we are excited to see their reception upon release as we continue our growth strategy across the continent.”
In recent years, Pragmatic has grown its presence substantially in this key region courtesy of similar commercial agreements with leading operators such as Brazillian operator Jogos da Sorte, Estelarbet, and in Venezuela with King Deportes, among others.
Betfun Statement:
Also commenting on the recent tie-up, Diego Lacho at Betfun said they are “incredibly excited” to be working with Pragmatic Play and to deliver its games to their players for the first time.
“The provider has become synonymous with quality, and this is always an aim of ours when seeking new partnerships. Additionally, its portfolio is very comprehensive, so we are excited to be bringing these pillars of entertainment to our players.”
