Playtech Mobile Casinos
Playtech have been providing some of the biggest casino brands mobile software since 2012. The company have created strong holdings with the likes of bet365, Betfred and Coral casino’s often being able to produce some of the most graphically capable mobile casino games in the industry.
Playtech’s aim has always been to push the limitations produced from a mobile device and by doing so have been able to create a massive back catalogue of games. Whilst the games on offer for most of Playtech’s affiliates don’t cover their entire range, the software allows them to pick and choose a number of highest profile options for each casino to tailor make the games they provide.
The backbone of the company hasn’t always been in mobile technology, but their transition has been on the best. In fact, you could argue that a company of Playtech’s stature should have been entering the market a lot sooner than 2012, but this is not really the point.
What’s unique about Playtech is the ability to not only choose games that are downloadable via a dedicated app, but also to allow players to play the same high quality via their mobile web browser. This opens the door up for much more flexibility for casino suppliers to provide a strong range of games to an even wider range of platforms. Smartphone and tablet forms are both supported with the usual suspects of IOS, Android, Blackberry, Nokia and Windows devices all having dedicated downloadable formats.
More recently, the integration of HTML 5 coding has allowed Playtech to not only provide games for its current suppliers, but also sell the rights to games they have designer to both software providers and mobile casinos alike.
Playtech Mobile Slots
Slots are, understandably, where Playtech have spent the majority of their time and resources when creating their mobile casino games. There are two types which include video slots and also your classic slots. The video slots are the most popular, mainly because of the companies ties with branded games such as Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk and The Fantastic Four (all Marvel titles). It’s these video slots which are at the pinnacle of the Playtech catalogue in terms of design, bonuses and features each have to offer.
The classic slots section is pretty much as it says; a host of more traditional style slots. Whilst we wouldn’t say design for these games have been compromised, we would say they don’t look or play out as crisp as some of the video slots; yet, we wouldn’t really expect them to in all honesty.
Other Mobile Casino Games
Live Casino
Playtech are one of very few companies that have managed to incorporate a host of live dealer mobile casino games. These include both roulette and baccarat for the time being, but according to bet365 – one of Playtech’s affiliates – plans are afoot for this section to increase.
Roulette & Blackjack
Rather unsurprisingly there is just one version of blackjack and roulette on offer from Playtech both of which come in the form of the European version of each game.
Scratch Cards
Scratch cards are another very popular addition to Playtech and even more interesting with this is the inclusion of branded games such as Iron Man 2, Rocky, Pink Panther and Chicago streets. Whilst these types of games aren’t the most popular on the mobile casino, the inclusion of such high profile games clearly shows that it’s an area in which Playtech want to improve and target.
Video Poker
Just one video poker game is on offer at the time of writing with Playtech which is the famous Jacks or Better game.
