Kevin Hart to Host Pragmatic Play Live Casino Takeover
Pragmatic Play has confirmed a high-profile celebrity partnership with Hollywood actor and comedian Kevin Hart, who will take over the supplier’s live casino studio for a two-day event on 6 and 7 November 2026.
Hart — best known for his stand-up work and films such as Jumanji and Ride Along — will host four separate sessions across the two days, fronting some of Pragmatic Play’s most popular live titles. Which games he’ll be presenting hasn’t been confirmed yet; the supplier says that information will be revealed to players on each day of the event itself.
According to Bigwinboard, a series of promotional activity is also planned in the lead-up to the broadcasts. Players in eligible markets will have the chance to win free chips on selected live casino games, including titles Hart will be hosting. During the sessions themselves, random cash prizes are set to drop throughout the broadcasts.
Hart appeared enthusiastic about the tie-up, saying he “jumped at the opportunity” when the collaboration was offered and promised to bring “the Kevin energy” to Pragmatic Play’s tables.
Pragmatic Play’s Chief Operating Officer, Irina Cornides, framed the event as a move to push live casino gaming further into mainstream entertainment territory — positioning Hart’s involvement as a step beyond the supplier’s own branded content, including its Zeus-themed titles.
What This Means for UK Players
Here’s the key caveat for anyone reading this from the UK: the event will not be available to players in the United Kingdom. Pragmatic Play has confirmed that availability is also subject to restrictions in certain other jurisdictions, though full details on where the event will and won’t run haven’t been published yet.
For UK players, this serves as an interesting signal of where live casino content is heading globally — celebrity-fronted, entertainment-led, and built around short-burst promotional events rather than traditional table formats. Whether that model ever finds its way into UK-regulated markets remains to be seen, given the stricter rules around gambling advertising and endorsements that apply here.
Further details on the broadcast schedule and confirmed game list are expected closer to November. Keep an eye on our casino news section for updates, and if you’re new to live casino, our guides section covers how these formats work.
