Pragmatic Play Raises Baccarat Round Potential to 72,600:1
Pragmatic Play has expanded its live casino range with Amazing Baccarat. The release adds random multipliers and a new side bet to the supplier’s existing Speed Baccarat format, available globally through Pragmatic Play’s live studios.
The official game page says each round includes five Lucky Cards, each carrying a multiplier from 2x to 200x. If a Lucky Card appears in the winning hand, its multiplier is added to any others drawn that round. Pragmatic Play caps the combined effect at 600x on Player and Banker bets and 6,600x on Tie bets.
Separate reporting on the release described the main bet ceiling as a flat 6,600:1 without splitting Player, Banker and Tie outcomes. Pragmatic Play’s own listing keeps the higher figure tied specifically to Tie bets.
The title also introduces Amazing 8s, a new side bet that pays when both Player and Banker hands tie on a score of eight. The base payout is 55:1 before any Lucky Card multipliers are applied. Pragmatic Play lists the side bet’s full win potential at 66,000:1 from a single bet spot.
That figure is not the full ceiling for the round. According to Pragmatic Play, the side bet potential can combine with the main bet win potential. Together, one round can pay up to 72,600:1.
For operators, the commercial logic is clear. Pragmatic Play is using a known baccarat structure and adding mechanics with higher volatility. These mechanics can support lobby placement, CRM messaging and promotional campaigns. Players do not need to learn a new table game format to access them.
Amazing Baccarat is available 24/7 and is filmed using 4K cameras in dedicated studios, according to the supplier. The game uses an underwater visual theme alongside the multiplier mechanics, and side bets stay open throughout the shoe.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said the title keeps Speed Baccarat’s pace while adding the multipliers and the Amazing 8s side bet to every round. Amazing Baccarat is Pragmatic Play’s second new baccarat title in live casino within about a month, following Seotda Baccarat in May 2026. The supplier also launched the Candy Rush slot during that same period.
The launch fits a wider supplier trend in live casino. Familiar table games are being rebuilt with sharper payout moments and side bet hooks. For Pragmatic Play, baccarat is a logical target because of its strong recognition and quick decision cycles in live casino lobbies.
💡 TGJ Take
Amazing Baccarat is a marketing tool wrapped in a baccarat shell. The 66,000:1 side bet and the 72,600:1 round figure exist to fill lobby tiles and CRM messages, not to change the math for serious baccarat players. Operators should test it in lobbies where slots dominate, since a big number grabs attention fast. Affiliates should keep the 600x and 6,600x splits accurate rather than quoting one flat main bet figure. The bigger signal is pace, since two baccarat titles in a month show fast iteration rather than a single proven format.
