PlayTech Casinos
PlayTech is a Dutch company quite new at gambling software market (comparing to other big companies, it started around 1999). But during short period
of time it gain several new casinos, and even attract several casinos from other soft providers. Among “victims” of PlayTech are
Grand Banks
and Black Widow (ex-RTG),
New York
and
USA
(ex-Bossmedia), Kiwi (ex-Cryptologic),
Miami Beach
(ex-Microgaming) and several others. 1ATM.com and IFund companies service financial transactions for PlayTech casinos. PlayTech
software has very nice graphic (may be the best graphic) and sound, lots of games.
PlayTech casinos accept dollars (some also accept pounds or euros). PlayTech accepts
all popular deposit methods and several new. Withdrawals are free and PIN-code is not required though the casino can ask for some documents as a security measure.
PlayTech casinos offer first deposit bonuses either fixed ($50-$100) or percentage (20-25%
up to $250). Lately bigger sticky bonuses become more popular (e.g. at
Golden
Palace
group of casinos) so read T&C carefully! Sunny Group casinos offer no-deposit and voting bonuses (though T&C are quite
strange). Wager requirements are quite high usually, at several casinos Blackjack and Video Pokers are excluded from wager. Many casinos provide alternative deposit methods bonuses,
Refer-a-Friend bonuses and additional bonuses to loyal players. All casinos offer 0,1% comp-points.
PlayTech casinos offer all usual casino games, lots of different kind of slots (including 8
Progressive Jackpots) and unique Switch Blackjack. You can play for fun or for real money; all table games have multiplayer and reserved tables. Minimal bet is $1 for table games and 25c
for slots and Video Pokers.
I’ve played at several PlayTech casinos and I’m really satisfied, I've won at most of them (I speak about my last expirience, at past my results were not good enough). I’m a Blackjack player mostly and I managed to beat the game even without bonuses (you can ask support to cancel bonuses). When one of the casinos didn't allow blackjack to meet wagering requirements I switched to
Caribbean
and Pai Gow Pokers (and a little bit of roulette). I can tell that results were OK with these games and I managed to win small amount of money.
I think that PlayTech casinos have great games and good support, though some casinos can be slow to pay, otherwise they are nice places to play.
