You can now play Playtech live games at 888, one of the UK’s top online casino sites.
This is a return home for Playtech, whose games have been featured at 888 in the past. However, the companies are also competitors of a sort. 888 is a massive business, held by 888 Holdings, who have a bingo empire, where their sites fight it out with those the of the Virtual Fusion gaming system run by Playtech.
The live casino sector is the most exciting and the fastest growing of the online gambling market. The growth of internet speeds and the ability of mobile and hand-held devices to carry better images and more data have made live-streaming accessible to players wherever they are. This means they can carry a live casino experience with them in their pockets.
The two biggest players in the live industry have been Evolution Gaming and NetEnt, the later’s live product being acquired by Evolution in September 2020 to be closed down soon after for reorganisation. Both are big players: Evolution Gaming a live games specialist with studios all over the world, including in the USA, and NetEnt slot developers first and foremost responsible for some of the world’s biggest games, including Starburst, for years now the UK’s favourite online video slot.
Playtech are no slouches either. Founded in 2003, the company’s live division was revamped in 2017, with a filming studio in Riva, Latvia.
888 had been using Evolution Gaming games most recently.
