PlayTech Launches First Live Jackpot in Italy

Gambling technology giant, PlayTech have continued their push towards innovation with their ground-breaking launch of the first ever live jackpot in Italy, with their Age of the Gods Live Casino progressive jackpot. This is significant in so many ways. PlayTech expanding to Italy reinforces their ambition to be one of the leading software producers in the casino industry.

Who are PlayTech?

While you may have never heard of PlayTech before, they have been working hard behind the scenes, developing many of the cutting-edge casino games and applications that are around today.

PlayTech are the industry leaders in the technology behind the gaming industry. Founded in 1999 by Israeli entrepreneur Teddy Sagi, the company launched its first casino product in 2001 and has since gone from strength to strength, eventually becoming listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Whether it’s creating technology for the world’s largest gambling brands or being the most innovative live casino supplier, PlayTech has been at the forefront of online casino innovation during the past two decades.

Continuing this trend, the company is now proud to be offering its latest breakthrough to the growing European market, the first live jackpot in Italy.

Bringing Ground-Breaking Innovation to the Italian Market

What makes this launch so special? It’s the first ever live jackpot in Italy, reinforcing PlayTech’s position as a leading innovator in the valuable gambling market.

According to Playtech Live Casino’s managing director, Edo Haitin:“Everyone at Playtech Live is very proud to be offering a market-first live jackpot in Italy, reinforcing our position as a leading and innovative live casino supplier in this region.”

Age of the Gods bonus roulette or the Age of the Gods: God of Storms live slot are the result of an expansion on the popularity and success of the original Age of Gods, launched in 2016. For PlayTech, this launch will allow an alignment of the live offering with other key locations. As Edo puts it, “Italy is still the most valuable gambling market in Europe, so it’s vital for us to be aligning our live offering with other key territories, providing the best possible experience for players.” He continues “We’re already seeing a fantastic reaction to both bonus roulette and God of Storms live, with thousands of unique players enjoying the games during their first week of availability. This launch is a major milestone for Playtech in Italy, and demonstrates our commitment to creating a peerless experience for our partners in the region and their players.”

How To Play

Players will have a chance to win one of four progressive jackpots on any spin, regardless of whether you win or lose.  This offering kicks in with a mystery trigger when playing Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette or the Age of the Gods: God of Storms Live slot.

When you begin playing, you set your own overall limit, the number of spins and bet per spin. The game then continues to spin automatically every few seconds. The game also features Free Spins bonusing via Community Live Slots.

The bonus roulette is the perfect combination of traditional roulette, combined with a novel theme bonus game. A single-line, Age of Gods themed slot game is suddenly triggered if you bet on the bonus position. Here, each Age of Gods character represents a multiplier and if you’re lucky to hit three matching symbols the resulting multiplier is between 5x and 100x.

Community spins also allow a collective experience that all players can share together. This involves a live host that leads the game, giving up-to-date commentary. Players get to enjoy a live game show element to the gambling experience.

The introduction of Italy’s first live jackpot is a step another giant step forward for PlayTech, cementing its position as the world’s leading company in online gaming technology.
