NICOSIA, Cyprus – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Playtech has recently
announced the expansion of its games portfolio with the addition of five new
games to Playtech-powered casinos, upping the number of available games on
the expanded platform to more than 80. Alongside these new games, Playtech
has also released additional flash versions of some of its downloadable
games. The recent release is the latest in a long line of new product
development by Playtech, enhancing the company's foothold as an industry
leader and providing operators with advanced performance and first-to-market
features.
The new games include three 5-reel 20-line multi coin slot games - A
Night Out, Desert Treasure and Dr. Lovemore - featuring both cash prize bonus
rounds and free spin bonuses. The 20 line slot games release is in line with
the growing popularity of multi line video slots in both land based and
online casinos. The other games include Casino Hold'Em, a simplified form of
the popular Texas Hold'Em poker game tailored for casino players and a new
version of Blackjack offering multi-hand support of up to five hands, which
was added to all existing Blackjack versions offered by Playtech.
Additionally, multi-player and private group modes were enhanced to support
up to five participants.
Keeping to its high-standards, Playtech's latest editions have
state-of-the-art graphic interfaces and extra high-quality sound, proving
that they continuously keep players in mind. The latest release, which
compliments the existing suite, was designed in-step with the traditional
Playtech product development policy, focusing primarily on the needs and
requests of Playtech casinos and their players. The new games come just after
the September release of Playtech's new generation platform codenamed "NG".
The NG platform introduces some first to be seen features like
multiple-window-gameplay and other advanced features such as integrated
web-based content, autoplay feature in all slot machines with both simple and
advanced modes and real-time progressive jackpot tickers display in the
casino lobby, increasing the operators' control over gaming content and
providing them with advanced tools and their players with a rich gaming
experience.
According to Iris Toledano, Playtech Marketing Director, "These new games
diversify our platform, offering some of the most popular and cutting edge
games within the industry. Feedback on the latest launch from both operators
and players has been excellent, with immediate requests for more. In answer
to these demands, we aim to release more new games in greater frequency in
2006".
