Pragmatic Play Launches New Live Casino Game Seotda Baccarat

Pragmatic Play has expanded its live casino portfolio with the launch of Seotda Baccarat, a new table game that combines traditional baccarat mechanics with elements inspired by the Korean card game Seotda.

The release uses a 20-card Hwatu deck, with each card representing a month between January and October. Unlike traditional baccarat, Seotda Baccarat removes the standard third-card draw, creating a faster-paced format while still keeping the familiar player-versus-banker structure intact.

A major feature of the game is the inclusion of special “Bright” cards, which carry the highest value in the deck and unlock enhanced side bet payouts. Pragmatic Play says the aim is to blend recognisable baccarat gameplay with a more culturally themed and visually distinctive live casino experience.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Seotda Baccarat brings together two popular card games in a way that feels fresh and authentic.”

Pragmatic Play Adds More Variety to Live Casino

The launch of Seotda Baccarat shows Pragmatic Play moving further into hybrid live casino formats, where familiar table games are reshaped with new decks, faster rounds and regional influences.

For CasinoTrackpot, this is the type of release we watch closely. We already track larger Pragmatic Play live titles through dedicated pages such as our Sweet Bonanza Candyland tracker and Gates of Olympus Roulette tracker, while newer releases like Seotda Baccarat show how the provider is continuing to widen its live casino range.

As more hybrid games enter the market, players are being offered more choice beyond standard baccarat, roulette and game show formats. That makes releases like this useful to follow, especially as providers compete to create live casino products with faster gameplay and more distinctive mechanics.
