On the back of its latest LatAm deal and casino software developer Pragmatic Play has enhanced its Live Casino suite, specifically its digital baccarat offering, after adding a pair of new baccarat variants, Fortune 6 and Super 8.
Offering a “twist” on a true casino classic, Fortune 6 Baccarat provides a heightened experience via side bets, which allow players to predict whether their hand or the banker’s hand will be closer in value to nine. What’s more, players are also able to wager on the unique ‘Fortune 6’ side bet, which is designed by Pragmatic and increases payouts if a player draws a six in the first three cards.
The other new variant, Super 8 Baccarat, adds a fresh perspective to what is one of the most popular games in the online gambling world, as it too offers a unique side bet that sees players notch wins when the initial two cards drawn form a natural eight hand. Another way for the side bet to win is if the cards dealt to either the banker or the player are of the same color and/or suit.
Upgrading a Classic:
“Fortune 6 and Super 8 Baccarat allow us to bring a brand-new dynamic to one of the oldest and most popular casino experiences in the world and add additional decision-making to the classic game through unique side bet opportunities providing more ways to win,” read a statement in a company news release from Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer for Pragmatic Play.
Barzely goes on to explain that the two titles “further upgrade an already leading vertical that blends together traditional games such as blackjack and roulette with the innovative game show inspired Sweet Bonanza CandyLand™ and we remain confident in our ability to produce titles that players love.”
The recent additions to the supplier’s growing Live Casino product offering deliver and “exciting update” to the classic casino game while also diversifying the successful vertical’s content.
Guatemala Advance:
Introduction of the two new variants follows Pragmatic Play’s three-vertical deal with online sports betting and casino platform Gana360 and annual Spanish raffle Loteria del Niño of Billetera Electronica Bet Guatemala S.A., further strengthening its now prominent position in Latin America via Guatemala.

An online casino in the USA is a virtual platform that allows individuals to engage in various casino games over the internet. These games often mimic the experience of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos, offering a range of options such as slots, table games, card games, and more. Players can access these online casinos from the comfort of their homes using computers, smartphones, or other devices with an internet connection.
When choosing an online casino in the USA, players should consider factors such as licensing, security, game variety, payment options, and customer support. Reputable online casinos are licensed and regulated by recognized authorities, employ secure encryption methods to protect user data, and offer a fair and transparent gaming experience.
As the online gambling landscape can change, it's advisable to check the current legal status of online gambling in your state and review the specific terms and conditions of any online casino you are considering. Additionally, practicing responsible gambling is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
