Anyone that has ever had anything remotely to do with online casinos has heard of Playtech.  Playtech is one of the top software providers for online casinos all across the world.  There are few companies that wield as much respect in the industry as Playtech, except perhaps Microgaming.

Like most software companies, Playtech comes from very humble beginnings. The founders of the company had a background in the casino industry, multimedia, and software.  For years they simply kept close tabs on the trends and demands of online casinos and the online gambling industry.  They finally got involved in 2001.

In 2001, Playtech debuted their software with Club Dice Casino.  This online casino carried version 1.1 of Playtech’s software.  At the time there was no way of knowing that Playtech’s software would become so reliable that it boosted the reputation of any online casino that carried it. 

Playtech software was among the first to feature online casino favorites like transaction histories, multiplayer mode, and comp points.  Playtech was one of the first software companies to allow for multi-platform compatibility.  

A major part of Playtech’s success has also been very smart business moves.  They took a great product and swung it into strategic business deals that only strengthened the company.  To this day Playtech has kept that very smart business sense.  Playtech is once again wearing their pioneer’s cap with the Olympic Casino group.  Their partnership with the Olympic Casino group will allow Playtech to be one of the first outside online casino companies to offer gaming to the Baltic region of Europe.
