Bingo variants, battle of clubs functionality, Multi-Stake Bingo
and many more.
In the slots arena Playtech's innovation continues to shine with
the new feature Everybody's Jackpot. The concept behind Everybody's
Jackpot is that every player who played within the last 24 hours
and placed the minimum bet will win a share of the jackpot, making
everybody a winner. Additionally Playtech launched a variety of top
tier branded slots featuring all-time favourites such as
Marilyne Monroe, John Wayne, Thor and Monty Python's Spamalot to
name a few.
In the Poker space Playtech has introduced a variety of features
