Pragmatic Play Unveils First-Ever Live Poker Titles
Coming in July, Jacks or Better Draw Poker offers a more traditional poker experience where players are dealt five cards and can choose to hold or discard any combination in pursuit of a winning hand.
Pragmatic Play has made its first move into the live poker space with the launch of Casino Hold’em, the first in a two-part poker release, with Jacks or Better Draw Poker set to follow in early July.
The newly released Casino Hold’em challenges players to beat the dealer using the best five-card hand drawn from two hole cards and five shared community cards.
Coming in July, Jacks or Better Draw Poker offers a more traditional poker experience where players are dealt five cards and can choose to hold or discard any combination in pursuit of a winning hand.
Both games come equipped with a jackpot side bet that delivers wins of up to 20,000x. This jackpot pays out when players hit a straight, four of a kind, or straight flush on the flop—adding a layer of high-stakes excitement to the gameplay.
To support operator flexibility, Pragmatic Play’s proprietary Smart Studio allows for full branding customisation of both poker games.
Commenting on the launch, Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Poker is an exciting addition to Pragmatic Play’s live casino portfolio. Featuring fast-paced gameplay, jackpot wins of up to 20,000x and Smart Studio customisation, Casino Hold’em and Jacks or Better Draw Poker are set to bring a new dynamic to online casinos.”
This move marks another step in Pragmatic Play’s broader strategy to diversify its live casino offering with high-engagement formats tailored for both operators and players.
