It seems these days there is a new online casino popping up on every corner of the web, not far behind them as a result is a massive amount of new casino games and game providers. Much as new casinos have to be pretty special to compete with existing brands, software developers have stiff competition also, with long serving companies such as Microgaming, IGT & Playtech with a very firm established presence and reputation in the online and often land based gaming world.

Playtech have been around what feels like forever, though it’s actually since 2000, and although they took a hit when withdrawing from the US in 2006 with the regulation changes, they are still a force to be reckoned with in the online gams arena. It is fair to say that this is even without releasing as many new titles on a regular basis as they once did. Of course, part of the slightly slower release schedule is their other interests, Playtech are also involved in software for live roulette, poker and even produce kiosks for land based casinos too.

The slots range at Playtech, purely due to how long they have been around, is massive. They do tend towards more simple constructions styles which suit novice players well and they completely eschew the use of game coins which allows you to clearly set your wager per line at all times and not unduly risk your bankroll through mistakes in understanding a display. They don’t favour other modern styles such as the any ways win format either, preferring in the main to stick to games which offer an adjustable pay-line structure as seen on the Night Out slot.

As one of the original and largest slot game developers in the online field Playtech have a very solid and reliable reputation amongst both players and casino operators. We have no hesitation as recommending their games as random and fair, they also clearly publish the RTP statistics for all their games in the help files of each title.

If the situation with regulation changes in the USA in the future it is clear that given the massive theme games owned by the brand that Playtech would experience a massive surge in popularity, perhaps eclipsing their heyday. This especially applies to their Marvel comic book slots collection with games such as the Iron Man slot proving massive player hits. In the meantime many of the games are available free at a number of online sites for those who cannot play for real cash, they are still committed to bringing new titles out and mobile compatibility has much improved in recent years. Even without that, the progressive jackpots will still draw hopeful punters in, one of the biggest recently was on the Beach Life slot – nearly a 6 million dollar progressive pay-out was won!
