EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online gaming software and solutions, has enhanced its poker platform with the launch of two in-house side games, designed to boost player engagement and open new revenue opportunities for operators.
The new titles, Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, provide entertaining options for players between hands, during breaks, or while waiting for the next round. Both games are fully compatible with desktop and mobile devices, allowing seamless transitions between poker and side gameplay without disrupting the session.
Baccarat: Classic Casino Action at the Poker Table
EvenBet Gaming brings the iconic Player vs Banker card game to the poker environment. Players can bet on predefined outcomes with fixed payouts, while all card draws are managed by a random number generator. Baccarat can be launched in a separate window and revisited at any time, making it an ideal low-attention side game for poker sessions.
For operators, Baccarat introduces a new revenue model with a fully customisable house edge, allowing the experience to be tailored to specific business strategies. The game is particularly appealing to Asian markets, where Baccarat enjoys enduring popularity.
Hold’em Guess’em: Predict the Winning Hand
In partnership with BetChill, EvenBet Gaming has developed Hold’em Guess’em, a single-player prediction game that combines familiar Texas Hold’em mechanics with a simple betting twist. Players predict the winning hand of a real-time Texas Hold’em deal.
The game automatically calculates odds based on win probability and the pre-set house edge. Bets, potential wins, and limits are updated in real-time, creating a fast, intuitive, and engaging gameplay experience. Hold’em Guess’em is designed to attract both traditional poker enthusiasts and casino audiences looking for quick, skill-light entertainment.
Strengthening the Side Game Portfolio
With the introduction of Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, EvenBet Gaming now offers three proprietary side games, joining Cowboy Hold’em, which launched in 2025. These new releases complement the company’s growing product ecosystem, which also includes Spins Poker and One Click Poker, all focused on increasing player engagement and diversifying monetisation opportunities for operators.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming, commented:
“Side games are an effective way for operators to increase poker revenue while keeping players entertained between rounds.
Baccarat is a globally recognised casino favourite, with particular appeal in Asia, while Hold’em Guess’em introduces a unique, prediction-based mechanic to the market. Together, these titles expand the entertainment options on our platform and allow operators to reach new audiences beyond traditional poker players.”
These additions reinforce EvenBet Gaming’s strategy of combining innovative gameplay with proven casino mechanics, enhancing both player retention and operator revenue across multiple markets.
