Playtech’s development in the US online casino sector

Playtech is not shying away from making a series of moves. Just recently, the iGaming technology provider forged an exciting partnership with betPARX in Maryland.

This development followed the launch of a new live online gameshow in New Jersey. The company has been vocal about its expansion ambitions, and it’s clear that they are not just empty words, as evidenced by several other recent partnership agreements, including:

• Betfred
• Acquiring a minority stake in Hard Rock Digital
• 10bet and a few others

Recently, there has been a noticeable trend in the live casino industry where classic films are being seamlessly integrated into online casino games. An example of this is “The Godfather” slot game, which made its debut in Michigan to great acclaim.

Meanwhile, Playtech is distinguishing itself by venturing into less saturated TV formats within the online gambling ecosystem.
