Pragmatic Play has started a network promotion worth €1,250,000 in Free Chips for players at participating operators, building up to four live casino sessions hosted by comedian Kevin Hart on 6 and 7 November. The campaign runs from 19 October to 7 November and is not available in the UK or the US.

How the campaign runs

  • PLAY with Kevin (19 October to 2 November): players collect the letters P-L-A-Y in Kevin's Picks live casino games, or K-E-V-I-N across Pragmatic Play's slots. Free Chips awarded are redeemable in Kevin's chosen games.
  • BET with Kevin (2 to 7 November): Free Chips are awarded at random to players in Kevin's Picks games, for use during the live events.
  • Kevin Makes It Rain (6 and 7 November): Hart hosts Pragmatic Play live casino titles, to be revealed on the day, with more than 30,000 prizes available.

Kevin's Picks are Mega Wheel, Gates of Olympus Roulette, Mega Roulette, Money Time, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand and Amazing Baccarat. The line-up varies in Asia.

What Pragmatic Play said

“We are now getting closer to the moment when Kevin Hart steps into the studio, and the excitement around the collaboration is building immensely.

“With the promotional campaign kicking off today, players will have plenty of opportunities to get involved ahead of Kevin going live. We’re looking forward to bringing the whole experience together and giving players something truly entertaining to look forward to in November.”

Celebrity hosts are becoming one way for live casino suppliers to stand out when most studios offer similar tables. Pragmatic Play announced the Kevin Hart deal in September, and this countdown turns a two-day appearance into three weeks of activity that runs inside operators' lobbies across its network.

For operators, a supplier-funded network promotion adds engagement without their own prize budget. The checks are on their side: the campaign excludes the UK and the US, availability is restricted in other jurisdictions, and operators need to confirm how Free Chips are treated under their local bonus rules. Operators can see Pragmatic Play's supplier profile or compare studios on our game provider pages.
