Playtech Casino

  • Playtech, also known as Playtech, established its first company in the Tartu region of Estonia as a casino software manufacturer in 1999.
  • For several years after its establishment, it was in the process of preparing for the future with little activity, and in 2001, it launched its first casino platform. Subsequently, in 2004, it began its activity as an online casino manufacturer by establishing an online poker network.
  • At that time, Playtech formed the world's largest poker network through the establishment of the iPoker network. As a result, in the second half of 2006, it began trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
  • In 2006, by acquiring several online poker software providers, Playtech began to expand its position in the online casino market and the size of the company. It acquired VCpoker, Paddy Power Poker, and Blue Square Poker, which provided poker game software in Europe. Furthermore, in the second half of 2006, it acquired Videobet, an online bingo game manufacturer, adding online bingo to its portfolio.
  • As part of a long-term project, it built its academies in Estonia and Bulgaria to expand its influence in the online casino market.
  • In 2007, it entered the Italian market, and in 2008, it entered the UK through a partnership with William Hill. It then expanded into several countries' online casino markets, including Finland, and finally achieved the milestone of being listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2012.
  • Rather than developing its own technological capabilities, Playtech focused on expanding the company's size by acquiring other companies. From 2007 to 2017, it acquired new companies every year, contributing to the company's growth. Major companies acquired through mergers and acquisitions include Eyecon, YoYo Games, and Aristocrat Lotteries.
  • Playtech offers various game product lines, including online casinos, online slots, live bingo, and sports betting. Playtech supplies a wide range of games, and its online casino games, in particular, offer many diverse and unique games similar to Evolution Casino. Its online casino games include live baccarat, roulette, poker, hi-lo, Sic Bo, and blackjack, as well as various other games such as Money Wheel.
