Playtech styles itself “the world’s largest gambling software and services supplier” … we’re sure that Microgaming might have something to say about that! Still, this Isle of Man based company is something of an online casino giant, with annual net incomes in excess of €140 million. Playtech was the brainchild of Teddy Sagi, whom is now a millionaire several times over. Not bad for a company that began just before the turn of the millennium.

Learn here about Playtech slots
Although now based in the Isle of Man, Playtech actually began life in Tartu, Estonia, in 1999. They were created by a group of entrepreneurs – led by the afore-mentioned Teddy Sagi – whom all had experience in casinos, software engineering and multimedia. The company were among many excited by the rise of the internet, and the web’s potential for online gambling.
It took until 2001 before Playtech shook hands with its initial licensee. Playtech decided to become something of a ‘Jack of all trades’ when it came to casino software. The company created slots, all kinds of table games from blackjack to sic bo, video poker, scratch cards and arcade-style games. It even created its own bingo network, and the iPoker series of interconnected poker rooms. The iPoker network continues to run to this very day – with 1,300 players on average still playing at iPoker poker rooms at any one moment.
Playtech also provide an ideal solution for any fledgling online casinos who wish to enter the world wide wagering web. Playtech can supply uniformed software platforms that new casinos can simply add their branding to, and can also help with casino online hosting, marketing, and customer relationship management services.
Playtech are also one of the leaders in live dealer technology, with live casino studios in Europe and Asia. Via Playtech, online casinos can source blackjack, roulette, baccarat and casino poker complete with live dealers. The company also offers a number of mobile solutions for iOS and Android platforms.
Playtech – the Superheroes of slots
Playtech were quick to latch onto the growing fad for online slots games, and began to sign lucrative deals with media companies to create themed slots games. The most lucrative deal of all was signed with Marvel – the world famous comic publishers and lately movie production company. Playtech released a series of Super Hero themed slots – The Incredible Hulk, the Avengers, Wolverine, Spiderman, Ironman, X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Elektra, Blade, Daredevil, Thor, Captain America and Ghost Rider.
To make these superhero slots super exciting, Playtech created an inter-linked progressive jackpot for all its Marvel superhero slots. There were four jackpots in total, and anyone playing any Marvel slot at any online casino had the chance of winning one of them. To win, all you need to do is land the jackpot game while you are playing (the jackpot game is triggered randomly). You then choose from a grid of symbols, and you keep selecting until you find four identical jackpot tiles – you are then awarded the associated jackpot.
A handful of Playtech’s top slots
Playtech have lots of slots experience, and there are well over three hundred slots available at over one thousand online casinos – indeed many casinos just offer Playtech slots. It’s almost impossible to choose three slots from such an extensive portfolio, but here are three of our Playtech favourites.
Amazon Wild Slot
This slot is certainly one of the most colourful online slots games every produced. All the symbols used in Amazon Wild are flora and fauna you’d associate with the Amazon Rain Forest. This is a generous, five reel slot with four rows and a massive one hundred pay lines. It also features an exciting bonus game where you go treasure hunting around a handful of Aztec temples. We’re so enchanted with this game that we’re happy to ignore that fact that the Aztecs were in Mexico, and the Amazon Rain Forest is in South America!
Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven Slot
In the 1990s, Frankie Dettori replaced Willie Carson as everyone’s favourite jockey – and he was certainly the favourite jockey of plenty of punters when he rode all seven winners at an Ascot race meeting in 1996. Plenty of punters went home happy after betting on all seven of Frankies rides – not all though, as one lady laid seven 50p singles and won £19. If she’s put them on an accumulator, she would have won £12,000! This slot celebrates Frankie’s fantastic feat, and there’s even a horse-racing mini game.
Fantastic Four Slot
One of Playtech’s popular Marvel online slots, the Fantastic Four Slot is based on the famous comic slash cartoon slash terrible movie franchise. All four amazing heroes are in play in this game – Mr Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing. The game has five reels and twenty pay lines, and features access to the Marvel progressive jackpots, of which there are four, each ascending in value. Playing this slot is certainly better than watching the awful 2015 reboot of ‘The Fantastic Four’, or, as it became known on Twitter, ‘Four’.
Playtech – time to tear up the template?
If there is one criticism of Playtech that’s to be had when it comes to their slots, is that there are very few games that stray too far from Playtech’s established template. So far Playtech have made very little attempt to ape the ‘3D’ style slots that have been such a success for NetEnt and Betsoft. In early 2015, Playtech did release Jackpot Giant, which did feature video animations, and was at least a step in the right direction. If Playtech are to maintain their reputation, we think a few more Jackpot Giants – and giant jackpots – are in order.
