The new release combines traditional baccarat with the Korean-inspired Seotda card game
Pragmatic Play has officially launched Seotda Baccarat, an innovative live casino experience that blends classic baccarat gameplay with elements inspired by the traditional Korean card game Seotda.
The new variant is played using a 20-card Hwatu deck, where each card represents a month from January to October and carries a specific points value. The objective is to predict whether the player or banker will receive the higher-scoring two-card hand, removing the standard third-card draw to create a faster and more streamlined gaming experience.
A culturally inspired and engaging live casino experience
One of the standout features of Seotda Baccarat is the inclusion of three special “Bright” cards. These cards hold the highest value in the deck and are central to side bets, offering enhanced winning potential compared to traditional baccarat.
Combining visually rich presentation with accessible gameplay mechanics, the title is designed to appeal both to newcomers and to players already familiar with baccarat or Seotda, delivering an engaging balance of entertainment, culture, and strategy.
Pragmatic Play continues expanding its Live Casino portfolio
The launch of Seotda Baccarat further strengthens the premium live casino portfolio of Pragmatic Play, following recent releases such as Gates of Olympus Roulette, which debuted in April this year.
Sharon McHugh commented on the innovative nature of the release:
“Seotda Baccarat brings together two popular card games in a way that feels fresh and authentic. By combining the vibrant Hwatu deck with familiar baccarat betting mechanics, this release gives casinos a first-of-its-kind live casino experience designed to elevate their live lobbies.”
With this latest addition, Pragmatic Play continues to focus on differentiated Live Casino experiences, integrating cultural concepts and fresh gameplay dynamics to expand entertainment options for operators and players alike.
