What are your favorite PlayTech casinos? Why?

Earlier quote by moi...

Outside of Chinese Kitchen and Vacation Station (which I like quite a bit because they're slightly unique... despite no bonus feature/free spins ect...), I would agree that those other games aren't very fun, or better yet... blow.

Casinomeister

Now speaking of slots, they have a couple of new games with the free spin feature: Desert Treasure, Dr. Lovemore. I did quite good on Desert Treasure quite recently btw at Twin Aces.

Well... can I take back what I said? I'm beginning to think that "Slotster" didn't stumble upon the new PlayTech games (I was unaware of them myself.... although I've seen the Dr. Lovemore banners... I just didn't realize that it was for PlayTech).

Despite not wanting to play slots again, I just finished playing the new 5-reel 20-line slots at a PlayTech casino (to test them out). There's also a 3rd slot called "A NIGHT OUT". All three games are great, that is if you like slots. With Dr. Lovemore, it's 20 Free Spins for the feature, although the wins are doubled as opposed to tripled.

The paytables are very MG'esque, the graphics are great, the spins are very fast, and I what I liked the most was the autoplay options (from the FLASH VERSION that is). You can stop on a Jackpot Win, on a single win more than a specified amount, and the best options are the stop when balance goes to/drops to specified amount.

I was going to complain about having to do the tedious clicking for moving the amount of spins up and down, but then if you go over the box, you can just type it in (otherwise, that would have been a serious bitch having to click "+" 200 to get 200 spins for the autoplay). And remember, this is all from the FLASH VERSION. I must say, I'm pretty impressed, and it's about time.

If there is a CON, I think that the price per spin, is a tad steep.

MG is the king of Multi-line Slots, but PlayTech has taken a step in the right direction here.

Now, if they could only do something about that limited "Game History Log".

You any idea how many new deposits they need before they approve withdrawals?

Royal have been looking for a buyer bailout for a long time now, and apparently they've been calling around their Costa Rica Cousins looking for a deal in just recent days; Royal operates a ponzi scheme of sucking in new deposits to pay withdrawls - they do not have the capital to cover even current withdrawals let alone their enitire player-base, and if they don't get a buyer they will inevitably fold in time; The Shrink is telling players to "get out"; add to that, a year or so ago Bet Royal tried to rough up Bill Dozer and SBR colleagues on a visit to Costa Rica.

And this is your "favourite Playtech"? LMAO.

I knew this would happen: start a thread about how good some Playtechs are, and we get a bunch of **ALREADY EDITED OUT BEFORE I GET IT IN THE NECK AGAIN** telling us about how Golden Palace and Royal just rock.

LOL. Responsibility.

Whatever we think about Playtech software and the casinos they power,it's a fact that they are a force to be reckoned with. Their marketing (probably pricing) has enticed quite a large number of operators to join or change to their platform. The graphics are good and the download is the best of all current software beating even MG in my opinion. The compilation of a list of 'favoured' playtech casinos through experience sharing by this forum's posters will give those who wish to try this software some insight. At present,Playtech obviously only cares about how to satisfy the operators in order to reap max profits. Although ethically wrong,this is understandable as they are still relatively new in the gaming business. I am not sure but maybe even MG and definitely RTG had the same attitude years ago. I do believe that this will change in a couple of years time as they know that ultimately they have to address players' concerns as well if they are to stay in business. If too many players continue to be screwed out of their winnings,the brand name will be ruined and even if the new games they churn out are fantastic,nobody will play and if it hurts their profitbility,they will take a hard look at the situation again.

Caruso, I never said I RECOMMENDED Bet Royal, I simply said I had a good experience there.

I was posting a reply to the threads original question. I believe in my post I also mentioned that I would never deposit at another Playtech again.

1. gp68 ~ chinese version of golden palace casino
2. english version of golden palace casino
I know many players here don't like golden palace. I have played many times there and I feel it's good so far.

3. sportsinteraction casino
4. acropolis casinos
5. kiwi casino

tropez and europa are ok.

don't play prestige casino. You may find a $5 bonus in your account one day and can't remove it; you are forced to finish the wagering requirement because of the $5 bonus. disgusting!

I was highly impressed with this casino. I just opened an account with them not even a week ago, and have found every aspect of fairness, communication, promptness, and professionalism at this casino. Never before have I received a bonus (no-deposit btw), reached the maximum payout (according to their bonus terms), decided to reverse that and play some more and tripled that amount. Of course, I could still only do a max withdrawal according to the initial bonus terms, but usually, at least I have found with casinos- 1) most non deposit bonuses are just like playing for fun accounts, rarely do you ever end up cashing out on them without having deposited a dime, and 2) reverse withdrawals usually end up going downhill, not tripling!! I reached up to over $300 (big hit was on Gold Rally, wagering 1 credit of $2 per line (the minimum).. and this was all based on their complimentary bonus, my money had not yet even entered the scene. I was able to meet the minimum wagering requirements because it was a balance of wins/losses (the portrait of fair gaming).

When I had specific questions about my withdrawal and needed clarification on some of the terms and conditions, I exchanged a couple of emails with Sally Miller, the Customer Service Supervisor at the Mainstreet Group. She answered all of my questions with the utmost courtesy while being absolutely thorough on their terms, and even offered more encouraging information about their other available bonuses (fully cashable after meeting wagering requirements...since the welcome one was limited to a max of $100).
MOST IMPORTANTLY, promptness is key. I received email responses within the hour. She noted that my withdrawal will be in my bank account THIS upcoming Monday evening (only two days after all was confirmed, and those two days are weekend/Holiday days at that!) I sent Ms. Miller a highly and well-deserved email commending her on her professionalism, as well as the site itself (the online chat agents were very helpful and prompt as well), and my overall experience with Slots.com has got to be the best one by far compared to any other casino I have played at (and I mean not just Playtech, but online casinos PERIOD!) I will definitely be a loyal and returning customer.

This may have seemed elaborate, but after having bad or even sub-par experiences with SO MANY other casinos/operators, you REALLY APPRECIATE and recognize the good ones!
