PlayTech is one of the most recognisable and influential names in online gaming and the highly-respectable software developer are the brains behind thousands of online casino games, as well as powering hundreds of websites, using their custom-built, reliable software.\u00a0The company themselves ensure they are already catering to player wants, by releasing games of the highest-quality that run on both desktop computer and laptops, as well as mobile devices.<\/p>\n
The entire PlayTech network is designed so that players enjoy a quick, reliable, hassle-free gaming experience the moment they land on the site. They offer both instant play games (ones that you can play in your Internet browser without downloads), as well as downloadable clients for some of their larger clients.\u00a0Known in particularly for their extensive Live Dealer Casino game range, and their Marvel-themed Video Slot\u2019s, PlayTech continually lead the online gaming industry and set a very high bar for competitors to follow.<\/p>\n
PlayTech feature one of the most extensive game-ranges in the world, providing over 500 games, in categories including casino, poker, and virtuals. Committed to release over 50 new games every year, it\u2019s clear Playtech\u2019s commitment to player-satisfaction goes to show how passionate PlayTech are about what they do, and load any PlayTech-powered game, and you\u2019ll see \u2013 right away \u2013 just how high a quality the games really are.\u00a0Below, we\u2019ll look at some of the various game-categories PlayTech offer, as well as some of the more notable titles.<\/p>\n
The PlayTech casino table game range isn\u2019t the most comprehensive out of all software providers, but it doesn\u2019t take long to notice that the company clearly focuses on quality, rather than quantity. While PlayTech have recently begun expanding their game-range to include more \u2018modern\u2019 games (see unusual games below), their traditional game selection has always been solid with Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Casino Hold\u2019 Em and Baccarat all available at varying table-limits.\u00a0PlayTech also offer multiple variations of each of these games, so, rather than solely offering \u2018European Roulette\u2019, they offer titles including Premium Roulette, as well as French Roulette and American Roulette.<\/p>\n
PlayTech\u2019s Video Slot selection is what makes them the company they are today; their Video Slot games are designed to an incredibly high-spec and continual optimisation means mobile-players now have a better gaming experience than ever before.\u00a0Perhaps the most notable of the PlayTech Video Slot range is their Marvel collection of games, which are created in direct partnership with Marvel themselves.\u00a0Popular Marvel titles include Iron Man 3, Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, the Incredible Hulk, Avengers and the Fantastic Four.<\/p>\n
Players who game in Coral bookmakers in the UK will recognize many of the FOBT machine games in PlayTech casinos with titles like Heart of the Jungle, Halloween Fortune, Juicy Booty and Chinese Kitchen all making up part of the PlayTech range.\u00a0What\u2019s really unique about PlayTech, is that they don\u2019t just create games; they create experiences. Playing one of the Marvel games, for example, really immerses you within the cartoon-like world it\u2019s based on, and actual animations from films, stunning audio soundtracks and exciting bonuses all help strengthen PlayTech\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n
Many of PlayTech\u2019s most popular Video Slot games now feature progressive jackpots with some titles boasting jackpot totals of millions of pounds!\u00a0The jackpot games work on a multi-site basis, so each time a player spins the slot on one of PlayTech\u2019s hundreds of partner-websites, a fraction of the wager gets added to the slot\u2019s total, and this means it doesn\u2019t take long at all for the figures to reach \u2013 what most would call \u2018silly money\u2019!\u00a0Jackpot games currently on offer include Age of the Gods, Land of Gold, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Fortune 5, as well as a huge range of the Marvel titles with Captain America, Batman & The Matgirl Bonanza, and most titles listed in the main Video Slot section of this post.<\/p>\n
PlayTech currently operate two difference Live Dealer Casino\u2019s with the first being their \u2018Riga\u2019 version, based in a studio in Latvia. This part of their operation caters to European markets and includes games, including Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Three Card Poker, Casino Hold’ Em, and variations on most of the titles with French Roulette, European Roulette, VIP Baccarat, and Prestige Roulette just a few of the titles on offer.<\/p>\n
The second part of their operation is the Manilla branch \u2013 based in the Philippines \u2013 that caters to the Asian markets PlayTech currently serve. The game-range is generally pretty similar with a couple of Chinese-games more readily available, like Pai Gow and Hi-Lo. The main difference is in the dealer\u2019s themselves \u2013 the Riga casino features European dealers, while the Manilla version uses Asian dealers.\u00a0As with most Live Dealer Casino\u2019s, players can choose a variety of dealers, both men and women, and most games have varying limits, ensuring players can play within a means that\u2019s affordable to them.<\/p>\n
PlayTech also offer a variety of unusual, and\/or uncommon games, designed to provide both a new and exciting experience to players, while ensuring those who don\u2019t want to play casino games or Video Slots have something to enjoy!\u00a0One of the most popular titles in their \u2018other\u2019 section is the \u2018Genie\u2019s Hi Lo\u2019, where your job is to predict whether the next card is higher or lower than the card currently on show.\u00a0There\u2019s also a selection of virtuals with Horse Racing, Greyhound and even Football games making an appearance.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of their most unique titles (although relatively simplistic) is their \u2018Heads or Tails\u2019 game, where, as you can probably guess, you simply bet on whether a coin will land heads or tails \u2013 innovation at its finest (sarcasm).\u00a0Jokes aside, PlayTech have a stellar range of \u2018other\u2019 games, and you\u2019ll find over 50 Instant Win titles to enjoy, from scratch cards, Keno, Bingo and virtual sports to keep you entertained!<\/p>\n
PlayTech worked with casino game design Geoff Hall to build a dedicated poker card room, which casino operators could then license, using a white label solution. While PlayTech themselves were initially sceptical about their chances at breaking into a heavily-competitive industry, it didn\u2019t take long for them to leave their mark, and as time went on, their player base continued to grow.<\/p>\n
Today, PlayTech\u2019s iPoker platform is the 3rd<\/sup> largest online poker card room on the planet, and the company hosts over 30 different white-label poker software solutions, including big industry names, such as William Hill, Coral and Ladbrokes.<\/p>\n PlayTech hold licenses in a wide variety of jurisdictions, and as they are generally seen as one of the leading gaming providers, they rarely encounter issues offering games to players around the world. That said, there are certain countries where PlayTech\u2019s games are restricted, or banned altogether, although they hold licenses in the following jurisdictions:<\/p>\n PlayTech are also licensed with the following regulators:<\/p>\n PlayTech (technically PlayTech PLC, as it\u2019s a publicly-traded company) was first founded in Estonia, in 1999. Today, it\u2019s one of the largest and most reputable providers of online casino games and software and the innovative company showcase impressive financial figures to complement their operations. 2015 saw them earning \u00a3630 Million in revenue, and with online gambling continue to grow, this number looks set to rise.\u00a0PlayTech employ over 5,000 employees around the world \u2013 one of the largest number of staff ever seen in a gambling company. With offices in the UK, Israel, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Philippines, Sweden, Germany, Gibraltar, Latvia, Cyprus and Russia, their global presence is incredibly strong.<\/p>\n While known today as a global pioneer in online gambling software, PlayTech \u2013 as with most company\u2019s \u2013 started small, and was founded by Teddy Sagi, in conjunction with business partners from the casino, software development and media industries. By 2001, they\u2019d launched their first casino product, and as their client-base grew, so did their reputation and commitment to looking after players.\u00a0The company has seen multiple acquisitions during its growth, the first taking place in 2008, when PlayTech acquired private assets from the founder \u2013 Teddy Sagi \u2013 for a reported \u00a3200 Million. 3 years later PlayTech purchased PlayTech Turnkey Services from Sagi also \u2013 for a further \u00a3125 Million.<\/p>\n 2012 was a year that heralded big changes for PlayTech, as they moved their listing from the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, to AIM. This lead to the company being included within the FTSE 250 Index and helped publicise the company further.\u00a0With the growth of PlayTech\u2019s software came their expansion into other gambling markets and their iPoker service has become one of the largest in the world to date. To enable them to gain a foothold in the extremely-competitive Poker market, PlayTech acquired the poker community website PokerStrategy.com for just over \u00a340 Million, and used aggressive marketing campaigns to position themselves as a market leader \u2013 even though their experience in Poker software was far less-developed than that of many of their competitors.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, PlayTech managed to \u2018do the unthinkable\u2019 and take a HUGE slice of the market share.\u00a0You might think that after their Poker success, PlayTech would be content on focus on developing their existing operations, but 2014 saw PlayTech acquire Aristocrat Lotteries in a \u00a37 Million deal with Aristocrat Leisure Limited, and just one year later, they acquired YoYo Games \u2013 the founder and creator of GameMaker.\u00a0Perhaps most notably, PlayTech acquired reputable gaming operator Quickspin, merging two of the most successful gaming providers on the planet into one. Just one month later, PlayTech also acquired one of their main competitors, \u2018Best Gaming Technology\u2019, for a staggering \u00a3110 Million, clearly making their mark on the global gaming industry.<\/p>\n Today, PlayTech are focusing on covering many of their games into the HTML5 format, so that mobile players can enjoy the games, and a wide selection of both Casino Table Games, Video Slots, and Live Dealer Casino games are now accessible for mobile phone and smart tablet users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PlayTech is one of the most recognisable and influential names in online gaming and the highly-respectable software developer are the brains behind thousands of online casino games, as well as powering hundreds of websites, using their custom-built, reliable software.\u00a0The company themselves ensure they are already catering to player wants, by releasing games of the highest-quality […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":295,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/179"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/179\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Operating Jurisdictions<\/h2>\n
