Playtech Online was originally founded in 1999 by casino entrepreneurs, as well as experts in multi-media industries and software engineering. Playtech launched its first online casino in 2001. 2003 saw the introduction of live dealer gaming, and 2005 saw the introduction of mobile gaming.
In 2006, Playtech began trading their shares in the AIM market section of London's Stock Exchange. Later in the year, Playtech was forced to exit the American stock market due to the UIGEA. Afterward, Playtech concentrated its business on Asian and European online gaming communities. In the past few years, Playtech has formed multiple partnerships in order to consolidate the financial position in the industry. Over 75 licensees are served today.
Playtech Online Ventures and Business
In total, Playtech offers more than 370 casino games in every game category available. These are some of the available games:
• Slots games: Classic slots between one and five paylines, with a more popular video slots game offering eight payline slots. There's also a progressive jackpot slot machine.
• Brand games: Created by MGM and Marvel Movies.
• Table games: Roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Caribbean Stud Poker, and craps. Playtech is unique in its offering of a progressive jackpot during games of baccarat.
• Multiple variants of video poker: Some of which have progressive jackpots and multi-hand play.
Two categories of games are offered. After the company left the American gaming market, it focused instead on the Asian gaming market. The result is an Asian Games category in all of the online casinos. Most of the games are some variant of Mahjong, but also included are a Japanese pinball game, a Pachinko game, and a Chinese dice game called Sic Bo. Meanwhile, the Arcade Games category is full of games that have fixed odds. The most popular games here are virtual sports games and Hi Lo variants of games.
The software of the online casinos is made available both in instant play and in download versions. The same account can access both types of software. The software's RNG (random number generator) regularly undergoes tests to ensure fairness. These tests are performed by the third-party agency Technical Systems Testing. Several reputable gambling jurisdictions have licensed Playtech's online casinos, including Alderney, Curacao, Barbuda, and Antigua. The software itself is created and maintained by Playtech Information Management Solution. The management solution is designed to give operators the tools necessary for the monitoring of player activities.
Based on these metrics, the operators can shift their promotions, marketing, customer support, and player retention. Ultimately, this benefits players. Playtech also allows its operators to localize and customize the casino operations based on the different markets and communities. This is done through the trading of multiple currencies, custom games, and languages.
Playtech software has incredible three-dimensional graphics and first-class audio. The user interface is unparalleled by other online casinos. There are facilities for in-game chat, bonus plans, and easy access to transaction histories along with game histories. Multiple window game play is supported by the software, allowing players to make several wagers at one time.
