NEW GAMES FROM PLAYTECH

Virtual horse racing, new BJ surrender option and VP among latest offering

Online gamblers at the wide range of Playtech-powered casinos have four more games to tickly their fancy this week, as the turnkey provider launches its latest gambling creations, which brings the number of games in this gambling suite to 75.

The new games are Blackjack Surrender, Derby Day, 'Jacks or Better' 10-Line Video Poker and 'Aces and Faces' 25-Line Video Poker.

Derby Day is a virtual horse racing fixed-odds game aimed primarily at the UK sportsbook market and at sports fans in general. It boasts several value-added features in addition to best-of-breed animation and realistic track sounds.

Blackjack Surrender is a game based on the Single-Deck Blackjack currently available in all Playtech-powered casinos but featuring a new surrender option. Available to players after they are dealt the first two cards, this feature allows players to surrender - thereby automatically losing the game round but only losing half their initial bet.

The 10- and 25-line video poker games were developed by Playtech in response to renewed demand in the online casino industry in general, and among Playtech casino players in particular, for a greater diversity of video poker games.

Iris Toledano, Playtech's Marketing Director says, "We're confident that this games release - and more will follow in the coming months - will further enhance the offering of Playtech-powered casinos and will increase operators' competitive edge in an increasingly crowded gaming market."
