Playtech was founded in 1999 and went on to be listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2006. They power over 50 online casinos and the games are available via a free download or a no download flash based client. In total they have 7 video poker variations with one progressive game called Megajacks.

The best game at Playtech casinos is the Two Ways Royal machine which has a pay back of 99.80. It has a 4,000 coin win for both an Ace high royal flush (A, K, Q, J, 10)and an Ace low royal flush (A, 2, 3, 4, 5). The single hand games tend to offer the best pay backs and coin sizes range from 0.05 to 5.00.

If you like the double up feature Playtech games also have the option of a half gamble. This means you take half of the original win and double up the other half. Currently Playtech is the only software provider we found with this option.

Where to Play

While there are over 50 Playtech casinos we have found that some have a somewhat checkered past. In our opinion you should go with the casinos that are operated by land-based betting companies such as the two below.
