Japanese supplier Sega Sammy Creation, Inc. used last week’s G2E Asia trade show to launch its “Exciting Baccarat” electronic table game.
Exciting Baccarat is fully automated. Along with a standard baccarat game, it offers a side bet feature that allows players to achieve higher payouts, according to Sega Sammy Creation. The product is currently waiting for approval from Macau’s casino regulator, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
“We are confident that our baccarat machine is the best in the world,” Sega Sammy Creation President and Chief Executive Hisao Oguchi told GGRAsia. He said the game features “stunning visual effects,” including “eye-catching ‘squeeze’ effects” that replicate the card “squeezing” typical to live games in Asia.
Exciting Baccarat players can select their electronic dealer from a group of five ladies. The game also provides historic data on the latest results, as many Asian players like to chase patterns in baccarat.
Sega Sammy Creation is a subsidiary of Japan-based Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. The parent firm is an investor in the foreigner-only casino resort Paradise City, in Incheon, near South Korea’s capital Seoul. The scheme broke ground in 2014 and is a joint venture project with South Korean casino operator Paradise Co Ltd.
