Live Games by Pragmatic Play

By the time we were ready to roll out this review, the company had more than 15 live games in its portfolio. Those games are a mix of classic tables (blackjack, baccarat, roulette), their variations to provide an elevated gaming experience, and quite a few noteworthy game shows. The only segment of content the collection currently lacks is poker.

Live Blackjack by Pragmatic Play

The cornerstone of this section is Classic Live Blackjack. It is streamed from the open-space area of the studio, has unlimited seating at the table, and relies on a set of classic features. These include side bets and a Bet Behind option, among others.

A more elevated version of this game is Pragmatic Play’s now signature release, ONE Blackjack. It is among live dealer blackjack games acknowledged by many prestigious industry awards. It supports four side bets, which are Crazy 7, Bust Bombs, 21+3, and Perfect Pairs. Another exclusive feature that is promised is the Six Card Charlie bonus. On top of these exciting game twists, potential wins per round can reach up to 2,000x the stake.

Live Roulette by Pragmatic Play

The team of Pragmatic Play started out by making sure there is a classic European Roulette with a single-zero wheel and a racetrack with French Bets. In addition to regular and side bets, players can save customized bets when gambling.

Those gamblers from Canada that prefer spicier action can opt for Mega Roulette. This release is set in a custom-built and luxurious setting with all cameras focusing on the dealer, the wheel, and the table, and no distracting action happening in the background.

Mega Roulette is a single-zero game with Mega Multipliers between 50x to 500x the stake. They will be applied to random Straight-Up bets. Also, this release allows bulk bets.

Power-Up Roulette is among other exclusive live roulette variations created within the production of Pragmatic Play. The game allows up to five bonuses, and a maximum prize by the fifth round can increase and be anywhere between 2,600x to 8,000x the stake.

Canadians that enjoy dynamic gambling action can either choose Auto Roulette with its low betting limits or Speed Roulette where bets are placed even after the spin was done.

Residents of Canada that speak languages other than English may enjoy modifications of roulette hosted in Italian, German, or Russian. The portfolio also has Roulette Macao. This release is hosted in English but is set in a themed studio with a single camera focusing on the dealer and the wheel. A zoom-in feature is supported in this release.

Live Baccarat by Pragmatic Play

Classic Baccarat is, of course, available in the portfolio of Pragmatic Play. The game has a manual zoom, as well as five regular bets and an assortment of side bets. At any time while gambling, Canadian players can activate No Commission Baccarat with its canceled 5% fee on the Banker bet.

Another game in this section is Speed Baccarat, where rounds are much faster that in traditional variations. There are 12 seconds to place bets, and the round lasts no more than 27 seconds. The cards are dealt face-up.

Live Game Shows by Pragmatic Play

At the moment, the team’s production of game shows is somewhat slow. Still, every game that the company rolls out offers exclusive, luxurious, and highly entertaining action.

One such title is Sweet Bonanza Candyland, a wheel game with up to six bets available on the wheel sectors. There are three bonus rounds and hefty multipliers, too. Its closest equivalent in the family of Pragmatic’s game shows is Mega Wheel, a release inspired by TV shows. The wheel here is bigger than in Sweet Bonanza Candyland and has 54 sectors.

Finally, the portfolio offers Boom City — an immersive game played with a big plasma screen that displayed blocks with numbers. The host invites players to bet on these numbers. The game supports three types of bonus rounds, which are Dice Battle, Lucky Drop, and Boom or Bust. Bet multipliers can reach up to 20,000x! And the prize can increase to 500,000 CAD per game!

Other Live Games by Pragmatic Play

The company keeps working on adding other popular games to the portfolio, including Andar Bahar and Dragon Tiger. Players from Canada also appreciate Mega Sic Bo, where wins can reach up to 1,000x the stake per round.

Dealers and Platforms

Live games are streamed from the studios in Romania and Bulgaria. Both locations were built from the ground up back in 2019 and are packed with all the latest technologies to ensure advanced in-house video broadcasting. This is, among other highlights, superior video quality due to a 4K multi-camera stream, zero downtime, and other great services.

The dealers are a mixed staff of highly-trained professionals of different genders. For most games, except for some localized versions, English is the default language for hosts. The interface of each game is also adapted to 28 other languages.
