With the addition of a Guatemalan operator, Pragmatic Play has introduced two new digital baccarat games: Fortune 6 and Fortune 8.

Following its most recent transaction in Latin America, casino software provider Pragmatic Play has added two new baccarat variations to its Live Casino suite: Fortune 6 and Super 8.

The side bets in Fortune 6 Baccarat allow players to wager on whether their hand or the banker's hand will be closer in value to nine, adding an exciting new dimension to this "twist" on a real casino classic. In addition, the 'Fortune 6' side bet, created by Pragmatic, allows players to improve their rewards by betting on whether or not they will receive a six among their first three cards.

The other new baccarat variation, Super 8 Baccarat, puts a novel spin on one of the most popular casino games thanks to a side wager that pays off when the first two cards drawn total eight. The side bet can also pay off if the colour and/or suit of the cards dealt to the banker and/or the player are the same.

Improving an Old Favourite:

Fortune 6 and Super 8 Baccarat allow Pragmatic Play to "bring a brand-new dynamic to one of the oldest and most popular casino experiences in the world," as stated by Yossi Barzely, the company's Chief Business Development Officer, in a press release. These games also add "additional decision-making" to the classic game by way of unique side bet opportunities, which in turn offer more ways to win.

As Barzely puts it, "we remain confident in our ability to produce titles that players love," and the two new games "further upgrade an already leading vertical that blends together traditional games like blackjack and roulette with the innovative game show inspired Sweet Bonanza CandyLandTM."

The successful vertical's content has been expanded and diversified thanks to the supplier's latest improvements to its Live Casino product offering, which provide a "exciting update" to a traditional casino game.

Advance in Guatemala:

Following its recent three-way deal with the online sports betting and casino platform Gana360 and the annual Spanish raffle Loteria del Nio of Billetera Electronica Bet Guatemala S.A., Pragmatic Play has expanded its presence in Latin America via Guatemala with the introduction of these two new variants.

Triple-Height Bargain:

The agreement grants users of the online gambling platform access to the provider's most popular slot machines, including Gates of Olympus, which has won Pragmatic multiple Game of the Year awards, Bigger Bass Bonanza, the second installment of the popular fishing-inspired five-title series from partner Reel Kingdom, and The Dog House Megaways, the sequel to the hit 2019 version powered by the mechanic used under licence from Big Time Gaming (BTG).

In addition, the supplier's whole catalogue of live dealer casino games, including fan favourites like roulette, blackjack, and the TV-style Mega Wheel, will be made available to players.

Finally, under the terms of the agreement, the operator's gamers in the Central American country will have access to Pragmatic Play's Virtual Sports collection, which includes a wide range of popular sports such as greyhound and horse racing and Fantastic League.

Imperative for the Business:

In light of this partnership, Marcella Ivana Vizia of Billetera Electronica Bet Guatemala S.A. remarked that Pragmatic Play's games "have a fantastic reputation with players across Latin America and are therefore essential for any operator to feature in their lobby."

Vizia also states that they are "thoroughly looking forward" to working with their new partner as their "relationship evolves" and that it is "fantastic news to see all the content go live."

The service has made substantial progress towards its objective of being the premier iGaming supplier in the area, and it has also established several new relationships and won a number of awards along the way.

Joint Venture:

Pragmatic Play's VP of Latin American Operations, Victor Arias, remarked that the company is "delighted to see the fruits of labour culminate in the rollout of our products with another valued partner."

He said that their verticals "represent outstanding value for any operator looking to enhance their offering" and that they are "sure Gana360 customers are going to take full advantage of the increased entertainment options at their disposal."
