Pragmatic Play Launches Bot-Based Bet Behind Pro Blackjack

Pragmatic Play, a supplier of content to the iGaming industry, launched Bet Behind Pro Blackjack on 10th October 2024, describing it as a first-of-its-kind Live Casino format built around seven bots instead of human players.

In the new title, the seven bots occupy the table and apply basic blackjack strategy against a live, professionally trained dealer. Rather than playing hands themselves, an unlimited number of human participants place bets behind any of the bots, winning whenever their chosen bot wins.

Aimed at wider audience

According to the supplier, the format is intended to appeal to both newcomers and experienced Live Casino players, since no knowledge of blackjack strategy is required to take part. The bots act quickly, keeping the pace fast, and the game includes features such as advanced statistics, automated decision-making, and an option to back all seven bots simultaneously with a single click.

Executive comment

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said the release extends the company’s Live Casino portfolio by putting a new spin on a traditional table game, allowing any number of players to bet behind the bots for a chance to win.

Pragmatic Play said it currently releases around nine new slot titles each month, alongside its Live Casino and Bingo output, with its full portfolio accessible through a single API.
