One of the global leaders in gambling technology, Playtech, went public with the network-wide introduction of two industry-first Live Casino variants. Presenting Live Slots and Quantum Blackjack, the studio will continue to focus on developing the most diverse and experience-led live content.
This has been a milestone year for the team, as it enhanced the portfolio with multiple games both from the live and slots sector. During the year, the company also entered numerous successful partnerships and developed a range of smart and convenient solutions to upgrade the quality of services.
Both creations are available across the Playtech Live Casino network now.
The brand-new cross-vertical concept was presented with widely popular Buffalo Blitz, and it aims to transform slot play into a collective experience.
Being the very first live game to host “community spins”…
…it allows a group of punters to play a single release together. The game is situated in the live studio, creating a unique game show feel and bringing a completely innovative perspective of slots. There’s also a host leading the game and providing commentary.
The very beginning of the game sees players choosing their overall limit, number of rounds and bet per spin, and it continues automatically with spins every few seconds. The game also supports complimentary spins, making it the first one in the live arena to have such an option.
Kevin Kilminster, Head of Innovation for Live Casino, Playtech, commented as follows:
“2019 has been a remarkable year for the Playtech Live team, with a stronger focus than ever on experience-led innovation. Live Slots is a genuinely new concept within the industry, delivering an engaging new style of gameplay for players and creating an exciting cross-sell opportunity for operators. The popularity of live play streaming via social media demonstrates a player demand for an interactive feel – the experience you would enjoy when playing alongside others in a land-based casino. Live Slots recreates that feeling with a unique style of gameplay.”
Representing the industry’s first-ever multiplier-based BJ game, Quantum Blackjack brings a highly immersive studio atmosphere together with innovative gameplay. It comes relatively shortly after the presentation of Quantum Roulette.
In an extra draw after the betting time…
… up to three cards are drawn and given an x3, x5 or x10 multiplier at random. If a punter gets one of these special cards in their hand and beats the dealer, they are paid according to the multiplier for a major win boost. The potential goes up to 1000x the player’s stake.
KIlminster shared his thoughts on this:
“Quantum Roulette has been one of Playtech Live’s biggest launches of the year, thanks to both its immersive visual atmosphere and the unique multiplier win concept. We’re confident that, as the first-to-market multiplier-based Blackjack game, Quantum Blackjack will prove equally popular and set the tone for future Quantum Releases. With more than 20 additional Live variants also launched this year, including American Roulette, Dragon Jackpot Baccarat, All Bets Blackjack and Casino Stud Poker to name but a few, everyone at Playtech is already looking forward to raising the bar even further in 2020.”
