There have been some developments in the live casino products from Playtech. The first is an addition to its Prestige series with the launch of Prestige Baccarat. The second is a special live roulette room for the coming Christmas season.

Prestige Baccarat offers superior game play and a close up view of the action. There are five strategically placed cameras around the baccarat table that provide players with a dynamic view of the action from different angles. You also have action replays of winning hands. The playing environment is more elegant. The table has a custom-designed cloth and a backdrop that depicts the Chinese symbol for Luck. Baccarat at land casinos includes the squeeze ritual by which a player can peek at the hand bet on before the cards are turned face up for all to see. The practice has been incorporated in Prestige Baccarat. The dealers play an important role in live casino games. For Prestige Baccarat the dealers have been hand-picked for their baccarat skills and different native languages to cater to players from all over the world. Views of Playtech licensees like Mansion Casino were sought before finalizing the contours of the game. Kevin Kilminster, the Head of Innovation at Playtech Live, said that he was confident that Prestige Baccarat was the best live baccarat product on the market.

Playtech is launching a dedicated live roulette room this Christmas as a gift to all licensees. It will be available from December 16, nine days before Christmas. This fully custom built live dealer studio will be bursting with colourful Christmas decorations and will put festive fun into every spin. The table layout has been specially designed for the occasion and will be unlike any other seen before. Players will be greeted by a host of Christmas characters and have the dashing live dealers dressed head-to-toe in festive costumes. Christmas Roulette, as the new studio is being called, will be exclusively available to all Playtech licensees as an additional dedicated room this festive season.

Kevin Kilminster said, “This is our way of thanking our live casino clients for their custom and commitment this year as well as a great way to add some Christmas cheer to our live offering. We're certain Christmas Roulette will be a big success with our licensees and their players.” Playtech offers the largest number of live dealer table game variants including blackjack, roulette, baccarat and Hi-Lo. It has also launched mobile roulette that can be played in both landscape and portrait modes.
