There are
currently about 25 properties using
Playtech's casino software and
their numbers are growing each
month. The casino software developer
'Playtech' is not the biggest in
the online gambling industry, yet
their casino games are extremely
well designed and user friendly.
Playtech casinos offer excellent
graphics and sound, a wide range
of casino games and high payouts.
Their casino games are easy to
navigate and play, and you can
customize the gaming to a large
degree. If you don't like the casino
music, just turn it off from inside
the casino program. Would you like
to play a little faster, then just
click a button. Betting limits
are both for high rollers and regular
to small players. Playtech casinos
even offer 1 penny slot machines.They
also have huge progressives that
attract the slot lovers!
The casino
software company Playtech is a
newcomer to the online gambling
industry with their first online
casino opening in January 2002.
The casino software quality at
Playtech casinos is top notch and
many believe that they will give
some of the other more established
outfits, like Cryptologic and Microgaming,
a run for their money. Playtech
works with land based casinos and
the influence is evident in their
casino games. Playtech offers downloadable
casino software only. Both multi-player
and single player are supported.
Separate accounts are available
for both real and play money. The
multi-play feature is also available
in a fun money mode. Playtech casinos
already substantial line-up of
casino games to choose from is
constantly being added to. Several
online casinos using other software
have switched to Playtech in the
last year. Especially one of my
favorite casino group 'The Sunny
Group of casinos' switched from
Microgaming to Playtech. The players
are getting very good payback for
their money and seem to be enjoying
Playtech software immensely, so
I'm ready to my money on this one
to be the next leader in online
casino software. One minus though,
when talking about Playtech Casinos
is that not all Playtech casinos
treat their players like they should.
I have seen many player complaints
regarding a few of the Playtech
casinos. I hope that this is something
Playtech will look into in the
future. On the other hand a big
plus is the welcome bonuses offered
by the Playtech casinos. Bonuses
are usually in the $50 to $100
welcome match range. Also, when
you deposit your money the bonus
is credited instantly, which I
think is great.
