iGaming content supplier Pragmatic Play has announced a new live casino game titled Bet Behind Pro Blackjack, “which takes the bet behind option in the classic Blackjack game to the next level.” The provider calls Bet Behind Pro Blackjack “a first-of-its-kind Live Casino game that seats bots, not people, at the table.”

The pioneering concept is a “unique twist” on classic Blackjack, the company says. Seven bots take their seats at the live table, using basic blackjack strategy to compete against the professionally trained game host.

A potentially unlimited number of players are able to join the game and participate in the action, betting behind any of the seven bots. When a bot wins, so do the players who bet behind it. Pragmatic Play says that Bet Behind Pro Blackjack is designed to attract and engage all Live Casino audiences, including new and experienced players alike.

Players do not need to understand blackjack to play and enjoy the game, according to the company. The bots make decisive moves in an instant, ensuring fast-paced fun with a full range of features, including advanced statistics, automated decisions, and the option to bet on all bots with a single click.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Bet Behind Pro Blackjack extends Pragmatic Play’s award-winning Live Casino portfolio, introducing a unique twist on the classic table game. With seven bots taking their seats at the table, any number of players can bet behind them for a chance to win.”
