Playtech bolsters live casino portfolio with Prestige Baccarat launch
Supplier's latest game features improved user interface and newly designed environment

Playtech has unveiled its latest live dealer game, Prestige Baccarat, featuring an improved user interface as the supplier continues to improve its casino products.
The supplier said the live Baccarat experience has been “significantly enhanced”with five gameplay angles and action replays of winning hands designed to get players closer to the action.
Prestige Baccarat offers a custom designed cloth and backdrop which depicts the Chinese symbol for luck, as well as a series of specially positioned cameras which focus on the ‘Squeeze’ element of Baccarat.
The new game features the supplier’s re-engineered user interface, built in close co-operation with licensees and customer feedback.
The launch follows Playtech’s new HTML5 roulette product, which includes improved navigation and the option to play in both landscape and portrait mode.
“Prestige Baccarat and the Prestige suite of products marks the beginning of a very exciting journey and Playtech Live unveiling its next generation of live casino games, platform technology and software that we believe will take live casino to an entirely new level of product capability, performance and personalisation,”Shimon Akad, COO at Playtech, said.
Kevin Kilminster, head of innovation, Playtech Live, added: “The newly refined live game contains the classic squeeze variations as well as the squeeze logic associated with one of the most popular casino games in the world.
“The feedback has been very positive so far and we’re sure it will go from strength-to-strength.”
The supplier recently announced plans to acquire financial technology company Consolidated Financial Holdings (CFH) for up to $120m (å£96.1m) as it continues to strengthen its financials division.
