DOUGLAS, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Playtech (AIM:
PTEC), the designer, developer and licensor of software for the gaming
industry announces the addition of four new games to its casino games
package.
The latest games release includes two exclusive to Playtech table
games, 21 Duel Blackjack and Wild Viking, which are the first in a line of
exclusive games licensed from the 5th element company. The two additional
games in the release, Forest of Wonders and Wanted, are first-class 25-line
video slots games which continue Playtech's tradition of frequently
releasing high quality games that combine cutting-edge graphics with
exciting bonus rounds and special features.
21 Duel Blackjack is played according to standard Blackjack rules with
the exception of the communal cards, a concept that has both the player and
the dealer basing their hand on the same two cards. Wild Viking combines
the classic table games of Roulette and Poker with a variety of exciting
new bet options like a special Wild Viking bet and a progressive side bet.
Wild Viking also features Playtech's first online interactive tutorial.
Forest of Wonders features a strong fantasy forest theme and includes
two bonus rounds, one granting players free spins and the other letting
players choose from forest-themed symbols to enhance their win. Wanted
integrates a Wild West theme and features two bonus rounds, a Mini Bonus
and a Shoot the Villain Bonus, both offering enhanced payouts. Each of
these exciting new 5-reel 25-line video slots has incorporated the Dollar
Ball progressive side bet into their interface.
Mor Weizer, Playtech CEO commented: "These new games reflect Playtech's
efforts to frequently release high quality games to our licensees. We are
