Playtech

When it comes to the slots world, there are few providers who can boast the experience, or the back catalogue, that Playtech can. Whether you're playing at a brick-and-mortar casino or online, chances are you have come across one of their games, with hundreds of them available on the market.

History of Playtech

Playtech was founded by Israeli entrepreneur Teddy Sagi in Estonia in 1999. Launching their first casino product within two years, they have grown to become one of the biggest names in a crowded marketplace. By 2005, their rapid growth saw them being floated on the London Stock Exchange.

There is a lot more to Playtech, too, with them acting as an umbrella company to a number of other slot providers. These purchases included Quickspin, Eyecon, Ash Gaming, IGS and more. These acquisitions have allowed them to spread their reach even further beyond their own slots catalogue.

Best Playtech Slot Games

As we have already said, if you're an avid slots player, it's almost guaranteed that you have come across a Playtech slot before - whether playing online or in-person at a casino.

One release that has proven very popular with online players is Epic Ape - an exciting release packed full of free spins and win multipliers. Leaning into the classic 'gorilla' slots theme, which seems to be all the rage, this immersive slot machine is sure to have you on the edge of your seat. The bonus round can be tough to trigger, but if you strike it lucky, 100 free spins could be awaiting you...

Branded Playtech Slot Games

Playtech are perhaps best known for their sizable collection of branded slot machines. If you're playing a slot game based on your favorite television show or Hollywood movie, there's a pretty good chance that Playtech were behind it!

We have reviewed a large number of these slot games on our website, including Aquaman, The Matrix, Robocop and The X-Files. With this particular genre of slot proving very popular with online players, we would expect them to continue their focus here moving forwards.
