Playtech launches industry-first Live Slots and Quantum Blackjack games

Playtech has launched two industry-first Live Casino variants: Live Slots and Quantum Blackjack. In a year when the company has released more new Live Casino games than ever, these novelties continue Playtech’s focus on developing the most versatile, experience-led live content in the industry. “Everyone at Playtech is already looking forward to raising the bar even further in 2020,” said firm’s Head of Innovation for Live Casino, Kevin Kilminster.

Launching with the highly popular ‘Buffalo Blitz’, Live Slots is a brand new cross-vertical concept that turns slot play into a collective experience – the first live game to feature “community spins”, with all participating players playing a single game together. Based in a live studio, with a host leading the game and providing commentary, Live Slots is designed to create a game show feel, bringing slot play to life in a totally new way. Players begin by choosing their overall limit, number of spins and bet per spin, with the game continuing automatically with spins every few seconds. Live Slots also supports Free Spins bonusing, making it the first game in the live arena to do so.

Following the success of Quantum Roulette, Quantum Blackjack is the industry’s first ever multiplier-based Blackjack game, bringing a highly immersive studio atmosphere together with innovative gameplay. In an extra draw after the betting time, up to three cards are drawn and given a x3, x5 or x10 multiplier at random. If a player gets one of these special cards in their hand and wins against the dealer, they are paid according to the multiplier for a major win boost – potentially up to 1000x the player’s stake.

In a year when Playtech has released more new Live Casino games than ever, Live Slots and Quantum Blackjack continue the company’s focus on developing the most versatile, experience-led live content in the industry.

Kevin Kilminster, Head of Innovation for Live Casino, Playtech, comments: “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.”

“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,” he added.

“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,” Kilminster concluded.

Live Slots and Quantum Blackjack are available across the Playtech Live Casino network now.
