Playtech Becomes First Provider To Offer Live Jackpot Games In Italy

Playtech, one of the most prominent gambling technology companies in the world, has now set a firm foothold in the Italian live casino market with the launch of their Age of the Gods progressive jackpot game.

Players across the country will compete for the chance to win one of four progressive Age of the Gods jackpots on any spin. Even a losing spin can lead to the jackpot, as the game packs a mystery trigger when playing Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette or the Age of the Gods: God of Storms Live slot.

Live slots are a new and modern way to enjoy traditional cabinet slots, those that you can still find in land-based casinos. With live slots, you have the chance to play on an actual machine, and enjoy the thrills of its spinning reels from anywhere in the world.

When you give the command to spin the reels, there’s actually some real physical spinning taking place on an actual slots cabinet. That is the big difference between live slots and online video slots, where the action takes place in a virtual software environment.

Edo Haitin, Managing Director of Playtech Live Casino, said: “Everyone at Playtech Live is very proud to be offering a market-first Live Jackpot in Italy, reinforcing our position as a leading and innovative Live Casino supplier in this region. Italy is still the most valuable gambling market in Europe, so it’s vital for us to be aligning our Live offering with other key territories, providing the best possible experience for players.

Bringing the ever-popular and award-winning Age of the Gods brand to Live Casino will also create fantastic cross-sell opportunities for local operators keen to build on the success of the slots series.

We’re already seeing a fantastic reaction to both Bonus Roulette and God of Storms Live, with thousands of unique players enjoying the games during their first week of availability. This launch is a major milestone for Playtech in Italy, and demonstrates our commitment to creating a peerless experience for our partners in the region and their players.”

Playtech was founded in 1999 and has become one of the industry leaders when it comes to technology. Now the company offers gambling software and content on multiple verticals, including live casino, virtual sports, poker, sports betting and bingo.

Their games have recently hit the United States market as well, thanks to an agreement with BetMGM.
