Playtech

Playtech Casino Software

Playtech is known throughout the world as one of the leaders in the online casino and gaming industry. They provide a plethora of internet gaming services. Playtech provides the platform for one of the largest online poker network in the world, the iPoker Network (PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and PartyPoker are larger, but they are not networks). They also provide services for bingo, sportsbooks, live gaming and completed internet casinos.

Playtech is a publicly traded company, and as such, they have a responsibility to their shareholders to maintain a high quality, stable, and legal company. Although whether or not online casinos and other forms of gambling are legal or illegal in the United States is up for debate, Playtech, like most other publicly traded gaming companies, has pulled all services out of the US. This is unfortunate for American players, but necessary for the validity and future of the company.

Playtech has positioned themselves nicely, however, in the event that the United States opens back up to regulated internet gaming. They consider themselves a leader in expanding into regulated and newly regulated markets.

Once Italy passed their internet gambling regulations, Playtech opened iPoker.it with a great deal of success. They have also led the way for Serbian and Estonian online gaming, as well as others, following the regulations of each country.

The iPoker Network itself would be enough to boast about for most companies. It is one of the most popular networks throughout Europe. Sites on the iPoker network include TitanPoker and bet365.

In the online casino sector, Playtech provides turnkey solutions for casinos throughout Europe. They can provide a wide variety of games including table games, video poker, and slot machines. As with many casino software providers, Playtech can really show their stuff on their online slots.

Slot players around the world crave the latest slot machines with brighter, bolder graphics, exciting jackpots and more and more complicated bonus games.

A Night Out is one slot powered by Playtech that features a large progressive jackpot. The jackpot is tied to all casinos using the Playtech game, so it grows at a fast pace and can reach the million dollar range. Other popular progressive slots include Football Rules and Desert Treasures, but they also have several more. All of them pay generally in the six figures range, which is very respectable for an online slot progressive jackpot.

Some of the most well-known Playtech casinos are bet365, Titan Casino, and William Hill. Each of these also provide other online gaming services powered by Playtech software, which may include poker, sports betting and even bingo.

Another unique feature that Playtech casinos may offer is live dealing. This is an up and coming feature at many online casinos. Basically how it works is a player sits down at a virtual table and a video feed shows the dealer, most often a beautiful woman dealer, dealing the cards and chatting with the patrons.

The dealers are all very professional and are encouraged to interact with the players. The limits for these live dealer games are generally higher than the minimum tables to account for the extra costs involved, but it is a great way to combine the best of both worlds, online and brick and mortar casinos.

Although Playtech may be most well-known for the iPoker Network, their casino brands are some of the strongest in the industry. There is no doubt that Playtech is a serious player in the online casino software market and if and when the US re-opens with regulated internet gaming, you can bet that Playtech will be among the first companies in line to provide the service.
