ICONIC21’s leadership emphasized the difficulty of translating the traditional squeeze experience into a digital setting. Edvardas Sadovskis, the company’s chief product officer, said the goal was to preserve a key element of the game that often disappears in online versions.
“The squeeze is one of those moments every baccarat player is excited about. That slow, deliberate reveal before the big win is what makes it tense. The problem? That feeling almost never survives the jump to RNG. It gets replaced by an animation and the magic is gone.”
He explained that the development process focused on restoring that dynamic through direct player interaction.
“We refused to let that happen. Getting the squeeze right in a digital environment is genuinely hard but we successfully managed, and honestly, we’re pretty excited about what came out. Instead of watching it happen, the player controls the reveal themselves.
“Add full brand customisation on top of that, and what you have is something operators can truly call their own. We can’t wait to see what our partners do with it.”
