Playtech is one of the fastest growing and innovative providers of software for online gaming with over 5000 employees. They have a full selection of over 600 games, including online casino games, poker, sports betting, live and TV gaming, mobile gaming, and bingo. Their poker and bingo networks are the largest on the web.
Their software functions as both a fully integrated platform or as stand-alone applications that can be incorporated into existing casino operations. They offer players a wide variety of multiplayer games, fixed-odds games, video slots, and many exclusive games that can only be found and played at specific Playtech powered casinos.
Playtech is probably best known for iPoker, their online poker network which currently has over 35,000 active players across the world, and their popular branded slots with interactive 3D bonus levels. These slots include movie slots, comic book slots, and TV-themed slots that are licensed only for use and distribution through Playtech and Playtech affiliates. The most popular amongst these are the Marvel themed slots, due in part to the Marvel Progressive Jackpot. Since 2003, the total for progressive jackpot wins has amounted up to € 200 Million
Like other software companies that operate heavily throughout Europe, Playtech has decided to not accept US players until such a time as online gambling is deemed a legal enterprise by the United States government. This means that Playtech powered casinos are not available to US residents for pay-for-play games. However, there are a number of free casino sites on the web that showcase various Playtech games in a free play or demo mode.
While US residents cannot win real money, they can feel free to test out some of the various gaming platforms and video slots offered by Playtech, including almost the entire Marvel series of slots. Whether you can play in a Playtech powered casino in your jurisdiction or not, the games are still worth checking out for their high-quality graphics, innovative design, and fluidity of gameplay; particularly their poker and table games.
Based in the Isle of Mann, Playtech was founded in 1999 and now has headquarters in 17 different countries. They are vetted for consistent and fair play by Technical Systems Testing and hold an official Certificate of Prior Approval from the U.K. based Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
