Playtech Add Baccarat to Their Live Prestige Suite
Posted by Harry Kane on Thursday, November 24, 2016
Playtech, the world’s leading omni-channel provider, has been quite busy this month. It was only a few days ago that we informed you of the launch of their innovative HTML5 Live Mobile Roulette. The highly successful product has already proven its significance but we’re expecting it to bloom even further. Yet, Playtech are already spoiling their fans and partner casinos with a brand-new exciting launch. It’s their Live Prestige Baccarat and it’s not something you should take lightly. If ‘prestige’ in association with the name ‘Playtech’ rings a bell but you can’t quite put your finger to it, picture this…
You’re playing Live Roulette at an online casino. The experienced dealer spins the wheel and smiles at you. The neon-lit room provides the atmosphere for a player experience that feels both intimate and exquisite. There are multiple camera angles and you, the player, are put in the centre of it all, getting a look at the game that’s closer than what any online or land-based casino could provide. Yes, that’s the Playtech Live Prestige Roulette! Launched in November 2015, it has established itself as a thrilling roulette variation, favourite with many players.
Just when you think Playtech couldn’t outdo their own successful product, they come out with the second instalment in their Prestige suite – the Prestige Baccarat. But don’t be too quick to assume you know what to expect. There are no neon lights this time and the environment is quite different. It would be an insult to expect this pioneer in gaming software and services to offer you anything less than a ground-breaking game.
The brand-new Prestige Baccarat live dealer game is the result of lengthy research and development and a lot of interaction between the developer and its licensees, with customer feedback playing an important role as well. It is, as Kevin Kilminster, Head of Innovation at Playtech Live says, ‘the best live baccarat product on the market’.
It’s set in a specially-designed environment with the Chinese sign for ‘Luck’ in the backdrop. The room has a peaceful and optimistic, Zen-like ambience. There are five gameplay angles and a series of specially-designed cameras focusing on the ‘squeeze’ part of the game alone. Expect to see action replays of the winning hands and immerse in the game like never before. The expert dealers have been hand-picked to answer specific player preferences.
Playtech’s Chief Operating Officer Shimon Akad noted that the launch of the Prestige products marks the beginning of a very exciting journey that ‘will take live casino to an entirely new level of product capability, performance and personalisation’.
With this excellent live game and their attention to players’ needs and preferences, Playtech are making a big step towards toppling Evolution Gaming as the world’s best live casino supplier. We are yet to find out if they will be able to make it. As for the other live dealer games in the Prestige range, we’re looking forward to seeing the modern makeover Playtech will give Live Blackjack. Whatever it is, it will be well worth the wait.
