Rank Group has added Smart Studio tables from Pragmatic Play, extending the companies’ existing supply relationship. The rollout covers Blackjack and Roulette, alongside Auto Roulette and Auto Speed Roulette, with customisation tools that allow the operator to adapt how those games appear to players.
The November 3 announcement follows an earlier collaboration on an exclusive slot for Mecca Bingo. Together, the projects extend the partners’ work on content that carries a distinct identity for Rank’s customers.
Branding Options Across Four Table Formats
Smart Studio uses green screen technology to change the visual setting around live casino tables. Operators can incorporate their branding into the presentation and give promotions space within the gaming environment. The system also supports customised settings for individual gaming experiences.
The configuration options apply across the four table formats included in Rank’s rollout. They give the operator scope to shape the presentation of both blackjack and roulette products around its own branding.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, described the companies as having an “exceptionally strong working relationship”. She welcomed the opportunity to work with Rank on another product launch.
Rank’s Director of Content, Tom Orton, highlighted the combination of “exceptional product capability and flexibility”. He also pointed to the opportunity to customise the operator’s products as it adds live dealer content.
Mecca Bingo Received Its Own Big Bass Release
Earlier in 2026, the companies worked together on Mecca Big Bass Double Dab, which Pragmatic Play launched exclusively for Mecca Bingo. The June 22 release brought a version of the Big Bass series to the Rank brand with a visual treatment created for its customers.
That project retained familiar gameplay elements from the wider series and paired them with a neon appearance. Pragmatic Play developed the game specifically for Mecca Bingo’s audience, building on a slot collection with an established following in the UK.
At the time, McHugh connected the release with the appeal of a game series that Mecca players already recognised. Rank Senior Commercial Manager Chris Suggett expressed confidence in the exclusive title and identified differentiated content as a reason for working with the supplier.
Pragmatic Play develops up to eight new slot titles each month. Its broader portfolio also includes live casino games, with operators accessing the products through a single API.
Live Casino Agreement Dates Back To 2023
The partners had already expanded beyond slots before the latest projects. In October 2023, Pragmatic Play agreed to supply its complete live casino portfolio to Rank brands, including Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo.
That agreement covered game shows such as Sweet Bonanza CandyLand and Boom City. Vegas Ball Bonanza also formed part of the catalogue that the supplier planned to make available to more UK players through the partnership.
By that stage, the companies had worked together for more than four years, and Rank’s brands already carried Pragmatic Play slots. The addition of live casino content broadened a relationship that had previously centred on those games.
Rank’s portfolio at the time included Enracha in Spain, as well as online-only operations across the Spanish and UK markets. The 2023 expansion specifically named Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo among the brands involved. The latest Smart Studio agreement continues the companies’ work in live casino with operator-specific table presentation.
