18th June 2025 – Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has today announced the launch of two new live poker games—Casino Hold’em and Jacks or Better Draw Poker—as part of its expanding live casino offering.
Casino Hold’em, which marks the provider’s debut live poker title, launches today. In this game, players go head-to-head against the dealer, forming the best possible five-card hand using two hole cards and five community cards.
Set to follow in early July, Jacks or Better Draw Poker offers players a classic draw poker experience. Participants are dealt five cards and can choose to hold or discard any number in pursuit of the strongest winning hand.
Both games come with a jackpot side bet feature, offering potential wins of up to 20,000x. The jackpot pays out on a straight, four of a kind, or straight flush on the flop, with maximum wins expected to land approximately every 45 days.
Enhancing the appeal for operators, both titles are fully customisable through Pragmatic Play’s Smart Studio. This allows for tailored, branded environments and bespoke gameplay experiences.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, commented:
“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.”
The introduction of these two poker titles further strengthens Pragmatic Play’s position as a dynamic force in the live casino space.
