Playtech Provider Review, Details and Rating

Even though their official headquarters are in the Isle of Man, you can say that the lifeblood of Playtech is their studio in Riga, Latvia. The Riga Experience (that’s how they call their facilities) houses more than 100 tables, with blackjack and roulette taking up the majority of the traffic. There’s also a bit of baccarat, including some poker and sic bo action. One thing that we found interesting is that it’s also the multi-lingual center of Playtech, with there being native tables in Italian, Russian, German, and Greek. It’s probably the second or third time we’ve ever seen Greek-speaking dealers.

In the Philippines, the Emperor & Dragon Studio is Playtech’s hub for the Asian market. So, you will only find dealers that speak English and Mandarin. It’s also the main baccarat hub for the company, with 11 tables featuring 5 different variants. Over the years, they’ve expanded the facilities. Today, it’s one of the best complexes in the whole region. And with the Filipino government finally deciding to allow casinos to target the domestic market, it looks like Playtech might see yet another expansion. Vivo Gaming is their only competitor in terms of live dealer tables, as Evo still hasn’t breached the Filipino market.

In recent years, Playtech opened up three more live casino studios — in Belgium, Romania, and Spain. Not only is this great for native table purposes, but it also allows them to take some weight off of their two main hubs. Here, you can find more native tables, mainly the ones in Spanish, Romanian, Italian, and French. We love to see such an expansive plan of operation, as the players get a wide choice of tables, games, and language options. In March 2021, Playtech announced the opening of a studio in Southfield, Michigan. While it may seem like it’s not a big deal, rarely does a provider put in so much effort. And it’s one of the reasons why Playtech has been breathing down Evolution’s neck these last few years.

In December 2021, Playtech opened another state-of-the-art live studio in Zurich, Switzerland. The studio was tailor-made for Swiss casinos and included the company’s offers for live roulette, blackjack, and unlimited-seat blackjack variants.

Quality v. quantity is the chicken v. the egg debate in live casino circles. Usually, you have companies that prefer to focus on a single game or a single market. While this lets them perfect their craft and come through with great products, any player that doesn’t like that one game is out of luck. On the other hand, you have providers that like to throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks. Both approaches are equally detrimental to your playing experience. Somehow, someway, Playtech jumped over these hurdles with relative ease. They have the full live dealer package.

When you decide to play at a Playtech live dealer casino, you will be offered all the online casino table classics that you are used to playing, like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. Furthermore, you can also try experimental table games such as Casino Hold’Em, Double Screen Roulette, Unlimited Blackjack, Sic Bo, and many more. Depending on the casino that you have chosen, you will be offered different VIP rooms where you can play with various table limits. Recently, Playtech also introduced one of the easiest card games to learn, Hi-Lo. Find out more about that and everything else, right down below.
