EvenBet Gaming expands poker offering with new side games

(PRESS RELEASE) -- EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online gaming software and solutions, has expanded its poker offering with the launch of two in-house developed side games designed to increase player engagement and generate additional revenue streams for operators.

The new titles, Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, introduce fresh gameplay options that can be enjoyed directly at the poker table between hands, during breaks or while waiting for a new round to begin. Both games are available across desktop and mobile devices, allowing players to seamlessly switch between poker and side entertainment without interrupting their session.

Baccarat brings one of the world’s most recognizable casino games to the poker platform. The classic Player versus Banker card game allows players to bet on predefined outcomes with fixed payouts, with all card-drawing decisions handled by a random number generator. The game can be opened in a separate window and revisited at any time, making it an ideal low-attention side activity during poker play. For operators, it introduces a new revenue model, complete with a fully customizable house edge to tailor the experience to each company’s strategy.

Alongside the classic casino favorite, EvenBet Gaming has also launched Hold’em Guess’em, a unique single-player title created in partnership with BetChill. The game introduces an original mechanic, allowing players to predict the winning hand in a Texas Hold’em deal. The fully automated format calculates odds based on the real-time win probability and the house edge set at table creation. Players simply place bets on the outcome, with payouts and betting limits recalculated automatically and the potential win displayed instantly. By combining familiar poker concepts with a simple prediction mechanic, Hold’em Guess’em is designed to appeal to both traditional poker players and casino audiences.

With the launch of Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, EvenBet Gaming now offers three proprietary side games within its ecosystem, joining Cowboy Hold’em, which debuted in 2025. The additions further strengthen the company’s growing product portfolio, which also includes recent innovations such as Spins Poker and One Click Poker, all designed to enhance engagement and diversify monetization opportunities for operators.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “Side games are an effective way for operators to generate additional poker revenue while keeping players engaged throughout their sessions.

“Baccarat is one of the most popular casino games in the world and has particular appeal among players in Asia, 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.”
