Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, is bringing fast-paced football action from the field to the felt with its latest Live Casino title, Football Blitz Top Card.

The new release is presented by professionally trained live dealers and combines sports-style betting with the simple-to-play higher or lower card game format. Ensuring end-to-end action, players have 10 seconds in which to place their bets on the hand they think will draw the higher value card.

The Spread Bets feature in Football Blitz Top Card allows players to predict the scorecard difference between the Home and Away cards. Wins are awarded when a bet is placed on the winning side’s Spread and the point difference between the two cards is bigger than the selected Spread Bet.

Additionally, after bets close, randomly selected Lucky Betspots from the side bets can receive boosted payouts, creating opportunities for players to win up to 500x their bet.

Offering localisation and in-game statistics, Football Blitz Top Card is a unique and immersive addition to Pragmatic Play’s award-winning Live Casino portfolio, which includes a mix of traditional live tables and original game shows.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Football Blitz Top Card brings the beautiful game to Pragmatic Play’s premier line-up of Live Casino titles, introducing a unique spin on the popular higher or lower card game format and delivering fun, fast-paced gameplay.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.

An innovative new lobby feature from global entertainment brand SkillOnNet aims to cut the queue for live-dealer blackjack games and have players seated at their preferred tables in super-quick time.

With ‘Take a Seat’, players can preset their blackjack preferences to be notified of empty seats at tables that match those preferences when other tables are full. No more scouring the lobby for a suitable game. Just one click will transport the player straight into the action.

Take a Seat is now live in all UK-facing SkillOnNet brands, including its flagship brand PlayOJO, and will be rolled out to all casinos on the network in the coming weeks.

The quick-seat concept originated in online poker but is unheard of in a live casino environment and a testament to the popularity of live blackjack on the SkillOnNet network. The company has been strategically focusing on live casino for some time, adding more dedicated live blackjack tables to ensure seats are available for players especially at peak hours of the day.

SkillOnNet has partnered with some of the biggest names in live-dealer casino gaming to build an unbeatable live experience, including Evolution, Playtech, Pragmatic Play and Stakelogic.

Players can choose their favourite game providers as part of their preset preferences, as well as their minimum bet, and more. A simple click, and they’ll be in the thick of the action faster than you can say ‘stick or twist.’

Eyal Naor, CCO at SkillOnNet said: “Live-dealer games have been around for many years, but it’s only comparatively recently that technological advancements such as high-quality streaming and internet connectivity have seen them surge in popularity. We believe that Take a Seat is another advancement that will make live blackjack a more seamless and enjoyable experience for players.”

Premium slots and table games provider Habanero has launched Moo Moo Cow, a vibrant 8×5 slot that showcases the cascading reels mechanic with a progressive multiplier.

An enchanting visit to the farm with an 8×5 grid can reap rewards as symbols such as cheese, milk bottles and wheat can pave the way for multiple winning combinations.

Once the prizes start rolling in, the cascading reels kick in as wins vanish and are replaced to reveal new icons, increasing the multiplier by x1 every time a combination delivers a prize.

Three to eight Scatter symbols trigger the Free Games round, where up to 40 spins can initially be awarded. As the mode progresses, the chance to retrigger the feature increases when a further 20 Free Games can be activated, boosting the opportunity to scoop further wins.

Moo Moo Cow is the latest addition to Habanero’s extensive portfolio of slots, following the likes of Golden Taj Mahal and Wild Flow in its 2024 games roadmap.

Commenting on the release, Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Moo Moo Cow presents players with a magical day out at the farm, as a herd of cows and their favourite treats take centre stage on the grid.

“With its fun-filled storyline and thrilling gameplay, this slot also unlocks a cacophony of cascading wins, elevating win potential alongside an action-packed Free Spins round that delivers in terms of excitement and prizes.”
