Playtech Live Casino Studio Migration

21st September 2017 – Playtech has announced today that it has completed its Live Casino studio migration into its new 8,500 square meter home in Riga, Latvia.

I reported the start of the migration process in February 2017, when they began moving the first of their dedicated clients, Sky Casino.

Over the following 12 weeks, they migrated the rest of the casinos with dedicated tables and environments, which included Casino.com.

Most of their customers took the opportunity to update and restyle their areas, taking advantage of the new technologies the facility had to offer.

From the sound of the press release, Playtech is pleased with how it’s turned out.

Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said:

“Playtech demonstrates its absolute commitment to delivering the best Live Casino experience and this project is significant testimony to it.

From making one of our largest ever investments and redeveloping this site into the world’s largest Live Casino studio, to completing the largest Live customer migration ever seen, it’s been an exhilarating, non-stop journey and there is much more to come.

Licensees and potential new operators visiting the new and innovative studio have been blown away at the operation we have here now.

They have been so excited to see the huge progress we’ve made in creating unique dedicated experiences and word is spreading fast to other operators in the market.

Getting to this stage so quickly and without any issues is due to the enormous dedication of the team.

I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to this project for achieving what is, without a doubt, the world’s most cutting-edge, best-performing, next generation Live studio.”

Playtech goes on to claim that:

The technology within the building is unmatched with hundreds of state-of-the-art cameras, catering for hundreds more custom-made tables and gaming areas, an advanced control and monitoring centre and large-scale dealer campus used to train and develop all Playtech Live’s staff.

Live Casino Comparer Comment

From a player’s perspective, the migration has been a seamless process.

We’ve seen new tables and changes to the dedicated areas, as the old ones have been switched on for the new ones.

We’ve got a new playing interface and have seen 3 Card Brag and Dragon Tiger added to their portfolio of games.

Some rule changes in Blackjack have made the game more player-friendly.

The new dedicated areas are impressive. Some of Playtech’s clients have taken more of a leap than others.

I’ve yet to visit the new studios, so I haven’t been able to compare how this stacks up against some of the other live casino studios I’ve visited.

At the moment, we only have Playtech’s word that this is the biggest and best in the industry, but regardless, Live Casino is fit and healthy.
