The cooperation between the two companies will feature five of Casino Technology's most popular game titles across all Playtech platforms during 2014. Using Playtech's cross-platform technology, its operators' players will be able to enjoy these hits anytime, anywhere and transition freely across platforms for their convenience. With a wide variety of platforms on offer including mobile, tablet, desktop and retail machines, players will enjoy a truly borderless gaming experience.

All five games will also be ported through Playtech's retail subsidiary, Videobet in February this year at the most significant event of the online gaming industry, ICE, which will take place in Excel, London. This addition is designed to take Playtech's retail offering to the next level, making it a first choice for players.

As a proven games expert in the European market we are certain the games offered by Casino Technology through our channels will provide a strong competitive advantage to our licensees and will allow them to attract additional players across all platforms. We strongly believe the integration of Casino technology's games with our cross-platform solution will create the ultimate player experience and will contribute tremendously to our one stop shop solution and retail offering in particular. We are looking forward to presenting these games at ICE in February this year."

Rossi McKee, Casino Technology's VP Marketing, said, "Expansion on the global market space and popularisation of the products through convergence platforms is lining up with the new objectives that Casino Technology has committed at its 15th anniversary and we are very happy that the first step was made with such a renowned and trustful partner like Playtech"
