In 2012, the company was listed on the London Stock Exchange, consolidating its position as an industry leader. Today, Playtech has over 6,400 employees in 24 offices worldwide, holds 170 global licences, and operates in 30 regulated jurisdictions.

Below, you can read more about Playtech’s worldwide success and future prospects. 

Playtech Games Have Reached Worldwide Popularity

Playtech is one of the largest companies in Estonia, providing local casino enthusiasts with over 700 unique and high-quality games. Standout products include DC Entertainment-inspired Superman, Justice League, The Dark Knight, movie-based favourites Robocop, Gladiator, The Matrix, and in-house-developed Age of Gods and Jackpot Giant.

Apart from its birthplace, Estonia, Playtech has offices worldwide, including the UK, Cyprus, Israel, Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Gibraltar, and Ukraine. Of course, its reach goes well beyond country borders. 

Playtech games and products are also present in other European gambling markets — Spain, Italy, Estonia, Belarus, Poland are just some examples with brands like Betsson.pl casino, Rizk, Super Casino and Europebet offering a wide range of slot games with beautiful graphics and engaging features.

The software provider is known for yielding massive jackpots through its top-of-the-line progressive slot games. Playtech’s Jackpot Giant has set the record for the UK’s largest mobile slot jackpot, triggering a mind-blowing £4.5 million prize.

The Company Has Made Huge Acquisitions Over the Years

Although Playtech started small, it quickly built an empire, becoming one of the most recognised names in the iGaming industry. Of course, none of this would have been possible if the company hadn’t made a series of significant acquisitions over the years. Its biggest purchases include:

• PokerStrategy.com in 2013 for £36.6 million
• Aristocrat Lotteries in 2014 for £8.7 million
• YoYo Games in 2015 for £10.65 million
• Quickspin in 2016 for £41.57 million
• BGT (Best Gaming Technology) in 2016 for £114.73 million
• BetBuddy, a responsible gambling analytics company in 2017
• Snaitech in 2018 for £703 million

These are just some acquisitions that helped Playtech build its rock-solid reputation and gain recognition as the clear leader in the gambling sector. 

Playtech’s Future in Online Gambling Is Bright

For years, Playtech has been the shark that’s been buying out companies and competitors to build an empire. This time around, this company will be the acquisition. Australian giant Aristocrat Leisure is set to buy Playtech in one of the biggest-ever deals in iGaming, worth £2.7 billion. 

This acquisition has the power to bring monumental changes to the global gambling scene. These include a flood of new online slots in the European and US markets, cooperation between other companies to stay afloat, and a potential increase in multiplayer online role-playing games. In any case, Playtech will be at the centre of these events, like always, providing players with gambling products of the highest quality.
