Kevin Hart is skipping the usual celebrity-slot playbook. Instead of slapping his name on a reel set, the actor and comedian is walking straight into Pragmatic Play's live-casino studio to host the games himself across two nights, 6–7 November 2026 — the headline act of a €1.25 million campaign that is already live (it runs 19 October to 7 November).
Four live sessions, a rotating lineup of Pragmatic Play's biggest live tables, and — per the studio — more than 30,000 prizes on the table across the run. It is a marketing event first and foremost, but it is a genuinely unusual one: a Hollywood name running live dealer rounds rather than fronting a static ad.
Pragmatic Play's COO framed it in the studio's own house style:
How the campaign actually works
It is a three-phase structure, and the prizes come as Free Chips, not cash you can simply withdraw — read the terms at whichever operator you play.
- Phase 1 · 19 Oct – 2 Nov: collect letters to earn Free Chips. Spell P-L-A-Y across select live-casino games and K-E-V-I-N across the slots portfolio. Chips are redeemable in the "Kevin's Picks" games.
- Phase 2 · 2–7 Nov: random Free Chip drops land for players in Kevin's Picks games, ahead of the live nights.
- Phase 3 · 6–7 Nov: the four live hosting sessions with Hart, with additional prizes attached.
Kevin's Picks — the featured tables
The games carrying the campaign are Pragmatic Play's marquee live and game-show titles:
- Mega Wheel
- Mega Roulette
- Gates of Olympus Roulette
- Sweet Bonanza CandyLand
- Amazing Baccarat
- Money Time
If you have read our live-casino guide, these are the same formats we cover there — money wheels, multiplier roulette, and the Sweet Bonanza game show.
Where you can play Pragmatic Play live casino
Pragmatic Play supplies the games; it does not run a casino itself. To actually sit at these tables you need an operator that carries the full Pragmatic Play live suite — Rexbet does, and it is the book we track here. Its welcome offer is a 200% match up to $500 plus 50 free spins, though note the live-table wagering is 100× (versus 40× on slots), which is steep — we broke that math down in the Rexbet welcome bonus breakdown.

The honest read
A celebrity live-host event is still a promotion built to drive play, and "Free Chips" carry wagering and expiry terms that decide whether they are worth anything. The campaign is not available in the UK and some other jurisdictions, and you are responsible for checking it is legal where you are. If you join in, treat it as entertainment with a fixed budget — set a loss cap before the first spin, and walk when you hit it.
Players must be 18+ (or the legal age where you live). Play responsibly — helplines are on our responsible gambling page.
