Playtech was launched in 1999 by Teddy Sagi. Through out the early years of the twenty-first century Playtech saw a meteoric rise in growth. So much so that it went public on the London Stock Exchange in 2006 for a capitalization of approximately £550 million. However 2006 proved to be a bad year for the online gaming software provider. Because of the passage of the UIGEA in America, Playtech decided to withdraw from that market. This led to a fall of 40% in a single day in its stock value. However Playtech began to focus on the European and Asian markets and has regained a position of strength.
Playtech offers about 100 online casino games, which is less than what some others offer. But Playtech does not believe in offering quantity for the sake of quantity. Within these 100 games it covers the entire spectrum of card and table games, video poker and online slots. Some of its variants, like Blackjack Switch, are unique and not available in the suite of other software providers. Its online slots also have some unique features such as the Dollar Ball Lotto side game. As far as progressive jackpot payouts go, Playtech is the only software provider that can rival Microgaming in huge payouts. Beach Life has paid in excess of $4 million last year. Because of its focus on Asian markets Playtech offers Asian games like Mahjong that are usually not found in other online casinos. Some other games that are unique to Playtech are fixed odd games.
Playtech software is feature rich and offers all the prevalent features in the online gaming industry. The Random Number Generator of Playtech is tested by BMM International. Playtech also offers live dealer games that are based on a video feed from live casino operations. Other software features include operations and financial history access, adjustable card size and speed and multi window gaming. Playtech was a pioneer of the multi tier VIP rating system that is widely followed by all online casinos now. Since Playtech focuses on the European market as well it offers the software in a number of Eurpean languages and accepts wagering in Euros and British Pounds along with US Dollars. Therefore Playtech online casinos are true multi lingual and multi currency casinos.
Playtech software powers about 170 online casinos, which include premier casinos like Bet365, Titan Casino and Mansion Casino. Many online casino groups like Golden Palace Group and Euro Partners Group favor Playtech. Leading Euro Partner brands are Casino Tropez and Casino Del Rio. Playtech also has one of the most popular online poker platforms known as iPoker. Playtech has recently signed an agreement with Marvel Comics to develop branded slots based on their characters. |
