    Angry 3 Crypto’s switch to Playtech?

    I have heard vicious rumours that UK Betting, Total Bet & Ritz Club casinos are all about to dump Crypto & switch to Playtech.

    Can anyone confirm if this is true?

    I think would be is a total disaster & very bad news, what do you think?

    (On the plus side I also hear a new Crypto is on the way - Playboy!)

    Yup I've heard exactly the same thing. Personally in the case of the above 3 I don't think that's either a bad thing or a good thing as all are and should remain pretty reputable. The only possible downside is if they use Playtech's banking system which forces a reverse period...but if they follow ToteSport's lead, they may choose to bypass this with their own banking systems. I suspect UKbetting/Total bet will do this due to sportsbook betting - makes sense.

    Another possible issue, is that Playtech's rep is tainted by a number of less than ethical casinos based offshore, no names mentioned, which may put a lot of players off playing there. You don't get that with Crypto as they police licencees well. But you would have thought that they must have factored that in. I'm suprised Ritz are going that route though I must say...maybe Playtech is better software for extracting money from punters?

    Regards Playboy's change, this has been on the cards for a while. I could be wrong but I was told that Partnerlogic were involved here once Ladbrokes decided not to continue investing in the brand. If that's the case, it can only be a good thing for the casino IMO.

    I am surprised not more casinos leave Crypto - well, 49er did too...

    Crypto treats Inter as it's favorite and gives it many advantages over the others, who get second pickings.

    While I like the software and all the cryptos are reputable, if I were an operator I would think twice before I picked a software where I had to play second fiddle.

    I have got to agree with KasinoKing.
    Indeed it would be a disaster (at least for me, since I play hardly any other software).
    Really bad news...

    I think Playtech is good software - in particular they seem to have got their free spins slots very well balanced to give VFM and still give out some high wins. If they were as good at controlling their operators, they'd be right up there IMO.

    Yeah right! That 'Winner Screenshots' thread is just jam packed with Playtech Pickies... NOT!

    I don't play Playtech much, and although I agree their software looks very 'slick', I have not noticed ANY slots that compete with the likes at MG & Crypto.
    Anyone got a list and review of their 'free-spin' slots?

    Check out "Desert Treasure" with 10 free spins at 3x and most entertaining. Or "A Night Out" with random spins and multiplyer up to 20 spins at 10x!! Both very good IMO. Hit the 5 scatters on Desert Treasure for &#163;4.5k not that long ago at ToteSport.

    PS. I was out having a smoke when that one hit so didn't capture it but did post the "History" shot to the WS thread a while back.

    I dont play any of these but am not really that surprised. Playtech has always been the "cheapest" of the well known software. Many MGs and RTGs have gone playtech im sure for this reason.

    Wonder how many cryptos will be left. Not many.
