Playtech slots

Playtech: the company behind the slots

Playtech was founded in 1999 in Tartu, Estonia, by Teddy Sagi. It is now headquartered in Douglas on the Isle of Man, and its shares trade on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker PTEC, after it first floated on AIM in 2006. Unlike studios that only make games, Playtech also supplies the casino platforms that operators run on, along with live dealer tables, which its corporate site (opens in a new tab) describes.

In 2016 Playtech bought the Swedish studio Quickspin, whose games now sit within the group but keep their own brand. For a wider view of how Playtech compares with other suppliers, see our slot providers hub, and for its dealer games our Playtech Live page.

Playtech slots list: RTP, volatility and features

These are the Playtech-branded games we review. RTPs are the developer's published figures; where a version note appears, the casino may run a lower setting.

The pattern is clear: Playtech leans on jackpots and on medium-to-high volatility, and several titles publish no fixed max win because the top prize is a progressive pot. Buffalo Blitz 2's 10,000x cap is the largest fixed ceiling in this group; at 20p that would be £2,000.

Age of the Gods: how Playtech's jackpot network works

Age of the Gods is Playtech's best-known slot brand: a run of games themed on the Greek gods and linked to the Age of the Gods progressive jackpot, which has four tiers on God of Storms. The original 2016 game uses 20 fixed paylines with the Ultimate Power progressive as its top prize. God of Storms (2017) adds Wild Wind Respins, in which a ship-shaped wild moves across the reels, alongside the same four-tier jackpot. Our Greek mythology slots page covers the wider theme.

The important detail for your budget is how the RTP is quoted. Age of the Gods' 95.02% and God of Storms' 96.14% both include the share of every stake that feeds the jackpot. Because the top tiers are won very rarely, most players get back less than the quoted figure from the regular game. Our data does not break the contribution out for these titles, so look in the help screen, which may state the base-game and jackpot portions separately.

A jackpot slot's quoted RTP assumes the jackpot is eventually paid. Your own return over a normal session, without the jackpot, is lower than the headline figure.

Our progressive jackpot maths page explains how pool size and seed values affect the real return, and the Wizard of Odds slots page (opens in a new tab) discusses when a progressive can tilt the numbers.

Playtech RTPs in pounds: from Jackpot Giant to Halloween Fortune

Across the group the RTP spread is wide, which makes game choice matter more than with some studios. Expected loss is total staked multiplied by the house edge, so here is the average cost of £100 in total stakes, for example 500 spins at 20p.

Jackpot Giant costs about twice as much per £100 as Halloween Fortune or Big Bad Wolf, and that is before you allow for the fact that part of Jackpot Giant's RTP sits in a jackpot most players never land. If you play Halloween Fortune, check the help screen: the 97.06% is the top figure, and lower versions exist. Our RTP against house edge explainer shows the conversion.

Quickspin slots within the Playtech group

Quickspin has been part of Playtech since 2016 and keeps its own studio identity. Its games tend to publish higher RTPs than Playtech's jackpot titles, as the table shows.

Sakura Fortune shows why version checks matter: at up to 96.58% it costs about £3.42 per £100 staked, but a version around 90% would cost about £10, nearly three times as much.

Playtech live casino and table games

Playtech is as much a live casino supplier as a slot maker. Its live products page (opens in a new tab) lists titles such as Quantum Roulette and Mega Fire Blaze Roulette, and it opened its third US live studio, in Pennsylvania, on 28 November 2023. Its Spin a Win money wheel appears to follow the same rules and odds as Evolution's Dream Catcher, according to Wizard of Odds analysis.

Live and table games sit under different UK rules from slots: the £5 and £2 stake caps do not apply, but autoplay is banned and each game cycle must last at least 5 seconds. Our live casino rules page and the Playtech Live provider page cover this side of the business.

How to choose a Playtech slot

1. Decide whether you want a jackpot game; if not, skip Age of the Gods, Gladiator and Jackpot Giant.
2. Check the RTP in the help screen and note whether it includes a jackpot contribution.
3. Confirm you are on the top version, especially for Halloween Fortune, Buffalo Blitz and Sakura Fortune.
4. Match volatility to your budget: medium for longer sessions, high only if you accept long losing runs.
5. Set your stake within the UK limit and work out the average cost: total staked times the house edge.
6. Turn on reality checks and a deposit limit before you start.

Our slots strategy page explains each step, and our page on how jackpots are paid out covers what happens if you do land one.

Where to play Playtech slots in the UK

Our partner offers are slot offers, but none is tied to a Playtech or Quickspin game, and we do not claim any partner carries one, so check the casino's game lobby. Free spins are usually limited to selected games and often exclude jackpot titles, so read the terms. 18+ and terms apply.

• PlayOJO: new UK customers (excluding Northern Ireland) making a first deposit of £10 or more get 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each; no wagering, winnings paid in cash.

One company, LC International Limited, operates Coral and Ladbrokes, so a new-customer offer at one may rule you out at the other. Our Ladbrokes jackpots page covers that casino's jackpot section.
