In an industry brimming with innovation and excitement, Pragmatic Play's latest venture stands out—a Blackjack league that kicked off on April 1st, promising a total monthly prize pool of a whopping €1,000,000. To dig deeper, we caught up with Kasper, Head of Marketing at Pragmatic Play, for an insider's take on this thrilling development.
Johan: Hi Kasper! Thanks for joining me. We're all about slots here, eagerly awaiting Sweet Bonanza 1000. But Pragmatic Play's recent move caught our attention—it’s a departure from slots. Can you shed some light on the €1,000,000 Blackjack League promotion?
Kasper: Absolutely, Johan. The Blackjack League is our pride in the Live Casino arena, offering €1,000,000 in monthly prizes across our live Blackjack tables. It comprises four daily tournaments—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Privé—running till the 30th of June, with a potential extension based on its popularity. The tournaments cater to different stake levels, ensuring everyone has a shot at the daily 500 prizes, including a top daily prize of €10,000.
Johan: That €10,000 top prize certainly grabs attention. Is this league tailored only for high rollers, or is it open to all?
Kasper: The Blackjack League welcomes everyone, from newcomers to seasoned high rollers. With tournaments structured around varying minimum stakes—from as low as €5 in Bronze to €1,000 in Privé—we aim to engage all player segments. While the top prize in Privé targets high-stakes players, over 70% of the total prize pool is distributed daily across the other tiers, making it accessible for players at any stake level.
Johan: How does one stand a chance to win in the Privé tournament?
Kasper: Privé Lounge Blackjack is designed for single players, with a focus on achieving the highest consecutive win streak. Availability is ample, thanks to multiple tables. April’s leaderboard winners had streaks ranging, on average, around nine consecutive wins. The strategy involves not just skill but timing, as early wins can secure a leaderboard spot, although last-minute streaks can turn the tables.
Johan: And for the other tiers, does it require an all-day grind to climb the leaderboard?
Kasper: Not at all. In Bronze, Silver, and Gold, only the first 100 qualifying bets are considered for the leaderboard, with points awarded based on consecutive wins. This system ensures that players don’t need to spend all day playing to secure a top position. Real-time leaderboards in participating games keep players informed of their standings, promoting fair competition.
Johan: Considering our audience's preference for slots, why should they consider trying their hand at Blackjack League?
Kasper: The lines between slots and live casino are increasingly blurring, with themes and mechanics crossing over, as seen in our Sweet Bonanza CandyLand game show. Blackjack League offers a diverse range of games to suit various preferences, promising compelling rewards and daily top prizes across different tiers. It’s an enticing proposition for slots enthusiasts looking to explore live casino offerings.
Johan: Any hints on the Blackjack League being extended?
Kasper: Given its popularity, extending the Blackjack League is a strong possibility. We’re always responsive to player feedback, so stay tuned for updates post-June.
Johan: Thanks for such insightful answers, Kasper! We’re already looking forward to our next chat, especially with Sweet Bonanza 1000 on the horizon.
Kasper: The pleasure was mine, Johan. Excited for what’s ahead!
This Q&A session with Kasper offers an exciting glimpse into Pragmatic Play's Blackjack League, highlighting its inclusivity, potential for extension, and appeal to a broad audience, including slots enthusiasts.
