PlayTech Video Poker Software
PlayTech is a casino software company that was established in
1999 and now serves some of the biggest names in the online casino
industry. Major online casinos such as Europa Casino and Vegas Red
are powered by PlayTech, as well as many smaller casino sites and a
variety of online poker sites.
Casinos powered by PlayTech have access to more than 140 different casino games and can even offer their players access to live table dealers via webcam. Today PlayTech is traded on the London Stock Exchange and employs over 700 people around the world. Due to its status as a publicly traded company, PlayTech does not allow players from the US at any of its casinos.
PlayTech Video Poker Games
PlayTech offers seven video poker games including some rarities such as Two Ways Royal and MegaJacks. There are also the classic games like Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. Three of the games are offered in multi hand as well as single hand play. PlayTech also offers a progressive 10-hand Jacks or Better machine and a progressive MegaJacks game. These are two of the few progressive video poker machines online.
In my opinion PlayTech has some excellent looking video poker games. They chose to go with a simplistic theme, and that keeps the focus on the game and not on the background. You can see an example 100-hand Jacks or Better machine below:
I really like how the multi-hand machines show your Win rack up in the bottom left as each hand is dealt out. It helps you keep track of how the hand is progressing, as most of us can't follow the super tiny cards that are in the middle of the screen.

| Two Ways Royal | Custom Low Pay | - |
| Tens or Better | 20/6/5 | 97.96% |
*The MegaJacks game is a progressive game, so we couldn't calculate the exact payout percentage for it because it changes as the jackpot rises and falls.
