Online gaming software providers offer a large number of games that are similar.  However, they also offer some unique games.  The way in which the games are classified and can be accessed also has similarities and differences with the other software providers.  This article discusses navigation through Playtech
software, with the reference to locating the different game categories.

The slot games at Playtech online casinos are classified as Classic Slots and Video Slots. The Classic Slots are the three reel slot games. The games are listed alphabetically and also indicate the number of paylines, whether the game is new, whether the game has a progressive jackpot and whether the game has a Dollar Ball jackpot. The video slots are the five reel slots. They can be displayed as a complete list or as sub-categories of Marvel Jackpots, 5 to 9 payline slots and 15 to 20 payline slots through the use of tabs. The other information as described in the case of Classic Slots is also provided.

The Table and Card Games category is further divided into Roulette, Blackjack and Others. Blackjack offers some unique variants not available in other software. These are Blackjack Switch and Lucky Blackjack. In the Roulette section American, French and European Roulette are offered in standard and premium formats. The Other category contains card games like poker based games and baccarat and table games like sic bo and craps. Playtech also offers Live Dealer games in which live games are video streamed across the Internet as opposed to being simulated using a random number generator. These games include baccarat, blackjack, Casino Hold’em and roulette and are listed under a separate category.

The next category is video poker. The popular variants are available in single line, 4 lines, 10 lines, 25 lines and 50 lines. Two video poker variants, Megajacks and 10 Lines Jacks or Better, have progressive jackpots. The unique feature of Playtech video poker games is the Half or Double Up Feature. In this game players can stake half or the whole of their payouts in a double or quits kind of gamble game.

Arcade Games is a unique Playtech category. The games are sub-categorized as Slots & Arcade, Keno & Numbers and Sports & Virtual. The Arcade games include fixed odds games like Heads or Tails and Rock-Paper-Scissors. The Numbers games are mainly of the Hi-Lo variety, in which players have to guess whether the next number called will be higher or lower.  The Sports & Virtual games include sports based fixed odds games like Jackpot Darts and Bonus Bowling. Asian Games is another unique Playtech category. It includes games like Pachinko and Mahjong.

Playtech software provides mechanisms for accessing games without navigating through the different categories. Most players like to wager on the new games and therefore these games are separately listed as well. Another type of game that enjoys wide popularity is the progressive jackpot. Progressive jackpot slots and other progressive games are also listed under Progressive Games. Players whose preferred games do not fit into any category can save the games under Favorite Games. Players need to select the game from the category it is classified in and click on the Star symbol in the display area. The game is added to the Favorite Games folder. In future the game can be accessed directly from Favorite Games.
