HTML5<\/a> take over from Flash, resulting in more stability of play. It\u2019s also allowing the company to go further with their storytelling within the games, meaning that they\u2019re often more than merely slot machines and have a tale to tell that punters might actually be interested in following to fruition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When it comes to how to play the games, there are two major choices. If you\u2019re the sort of person that likes to log on, see what\u2019s on offer and then pick a game to play then the instant play casinos will be right up your street. For those of you that are a little more considered in your gameplay, the download casinos might be more your thing. Playtech constantly reinvents itself when it comes to the games that the company offers, so there are around three hundred instant plays and about two hundred in the download casinos.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re wondering what the breakdown of games is then obviously it shifts and changes on a regular basis as they’re upgraded and improved upon, but roughly speaking you\u2019ll likely have the choice of more than three hundred slot games, one hundred table games and twenty to thirty of the live games mentioned before. There are numerous special feature titles, particularly thanks to Playtech\u2019s deals with the likes of MGM, HBO and Paramount Pictures, plus plenty of video slots that take the total number up of games offered up to that five hundred mark.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re interested in the sorts of titles that Playtech are responsible for then we\u2019re talking about the likes of Gladiator, which is based on the film of the same name and features some of the characters, A Night Out, Baywatch, which is based on the TV show of the same name, and a classic three-reel one Pauline game called Alchemist\u2019s Lab.<\/p>\n
Mobile Games<\/h2>\n
Playtech as a company was quick to realise that mobile gaming would be the future of the industry. They invented the Mobile Hub as a way of ensuring that they would be at the forefront of the developing technology. They also teamed up with Mobenga, a company that specialises in mobile usage, to guarantee as much as possible that their mobile gaming would be the best that it could be.<\/p>\n
The beauty of Playtech\u2019s mobile gaming is that it is virtually futureproof, having been built on a framework of HTML5 technology so that any device that can handle it will be ready to use it. The Mobile Hub is not limited to one specific type of browser and can be used in native applications, meaning that users of Android devices will get just as good an experience as those using an iPhone. Most importantly of all is the fact that the Mobile Hub allows users to access Playtech\u2019s entire range of games.<\/p>\n
Live Casino<\/h2>\n
Playtech currently offer about thirty live table games. These tend to be all of the most popular offerings, whether that be roulette, blackjack or variations on that. Whatever it is that you like to play in an ‘as real’ environment you\u2019ll be covered by a Playtech powered casino.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve also been introducing dealers and croupiers from different countries and regions to ensure players feel as at home as possible.<\/p>\n
Progressive Jackpots<\/h2>\n
When it comes to jackpot games, Playtech don\u2019t disappoint. Their ‘least impressive’ major game from a jackpot point of view is probably Frankie Dettori’s Golden 7, which still has an average payout of around half a million. That amount is positively dwarfed by the average payout of \u00a34.5 million that you can get from the company\u2019s most popular game Jackpot Giant. That is very much a game that lives up to its title!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These are just some of the biggest names of Playtech games, with around seventy offerings with progressive jackpots available at Playtech powered casinos.<\/p>\n
About Playtech<\/h2>\n
From the Best Digital Industry Supplier prize at the Global Gaming Awards through to a multitude of awards, including Best Poker Network, Mobile Gaming Software, Supplier of the Year and Multi-Channel Supplier at the eGaming Review B2B Awards, it\u2019s entirely fair to suggest that Playtech are one of the most respected companies in the industry. The company operates in more than thirteen countries and employs over three and a half thousand people at the time of writing, yet things weren\u2019t always that rosy and happy for the tech software giants.<\/p>\n
Though Playtech was founded in 1999, those involved didn’t even apply for a casino licence until 2001. The first couple of years were spent developing and researching in order to ensure that when they eventually did go to market they would be taken seriously and know what they were doing. They very much stuck to their plan of moving slowly and getting things right, which paid dividends when clients used their services and absolutely loved what they had to offer. This is reflected in the fact that Playtech was put on the Stock Exchange with a price of around \u00a3550 million in 2006. That was also the year that they applied for and gained licences from both the Remote Gambling Association and the Alderney Gaming Control Commission.<\/p>\n
That joy wasn\u2019t long lived, however. The 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act introduced in America made gambling online in the States essentially illegal, wiping 40% from the company\u2019s profits overnight. Successful companies don\u2019t just lie down and die, of course, so Playtech merely abandoned the US in favour of other, more amenable, countries. Estonia, where Playtech was founded, joined the likes of Spain and Italy in being added to the list of places where the company made headway. They have gone from strength to strength with each passing year, changing their philosophy in recent years in order to buy up different companies that can develop their portfolio. They might not be the company that offers the widest spread of games, but they work with some of the biggest companies around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
