EvenBet Gaming has expanded its poker platform with the launch of two proprietary side games, introducing new engagement tools aimed at increasing session time and creating additional revenue opportunities for operators.
The new titles—Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em—were developed in‑house and are available on both desktop and mobile. Players can access the games directly from the poker table between hands or during breaks, allowing for continuous activity without leaving the platform.
Baccarat Adds Classic Casino Play to Poker Sessions
Baccarat brings one of the most widely recognized casino games into EvenBet’s poker environment. The Player‑versus‑Banker format offers fixed‑payout betting options, with all card‑drawing decisions handled by a random number generator.
The game opens in a separate window and can be revisited at any time, providing a low‑attention option for players waiting for the next poker hand. For operators, Baccarat introduces a customizable house edge, offering flexibility in tailoring the game’s economics to individual market strategies.
Hold’em Guess’em Introduces New Prediction Mechanic
EvenBet has also released Hold’em Guess’em, a single‑player game developed in partnership with BetChill. The title allows users to predict the winning hand in a Texas Hold’em deal, with odds calculated automatically based on real‑time win probability and the house edge set at table creation.
Betting limits and payouts adjust dynamically, and potential winnings are displayed instantly. By blending familiar poker concepts with a simplified prediction format, the game is designed to appeal to both poker players and broader casino audiences.
Growing Portfolio of Proprietary Content
With the addition of Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, EvenBet now offers three in‑house side games, joining Cowboy Hold’em, introduced in 2025. The company has also expanded its core poker lineup with recent products such as Spins Poker and One Click Poker, part of a broader strategy to enhance engagement and diversify operator monetization.
Executive Commentary
“Side games are an effective way for operators to generate additional poker revenue while keeping players engaged throughout their sessions,” said Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming. “Baccarat is one of the most popular casino games in the world, while Hold’em Guess’em brings an entirely new mechanic to the market. Together, they broaden the entertainment options available on our platform and help operators reach new audiences beyond traditional poker players.”
