Playgon Games Inc, a SaaS technology company delivering mobile live dealer technology to online gaming operators globally, is celebrating the Chinese New Year and Year of the Tiger with its proprietary table game Tiger Bonus Baccarat.
Playgon said the Tiger Bonus Baccarat game is one of the company's most popular offerings in both live and eTable versions and has shown tremendous growth since going live.
Tiger Bonus currently represents 30% of the company's player wagering activity and its popularity is already in line with Playgon's traditional Baccarat game offering.

The unique feature of this proprietary Baccarat game is that it takes no commission from the players like traditional Baccarat yet yields similar return to the house and features the highly engaging Tiger Bonus side bet. A Tiger Bonus occurs when the Banker wins with a total of 7 consisting of 3 cards and pays 40:1.
Playgon said Tiger Bonus Baccarat features one of the quickest betting processes in the industry allowing players to place bets on multiple tables simultaneously on a mobile device.
"Baccarat is the highest-grossing casino game in the world, and we have seen tremendous success with this new Baccarat variant on our platform," said Guido Ganschow, president of Playgon Interactive, in a statement.
"Tiger Bonus Baccarat has quickly become a hit with our client's players and is showing no sign of slowing down. With our mobile-first approach and the unique gameplay of Tiger Bonus Baccarat we have found a perfect mix between convention and innovation that is vital to gain traction with players. We are experiencing increased player activity and additional customer acquisition due to the interest in this game."
