With hundreds of online slot games to choose from, my guide to the best Playtech slots narrows down their extensive portfolio to the top 10 releases. There is a free slots demo where a full review is available.
From popular slot series such as Age of the Gods, Blitz, Cash Collect and Fire Blaze to branded slots and jackpot games, Playtech slot games are a top choice at slot sites in the UK. Below, I highlight their best games and delve into various series as well as the company behind the slots.
Best Playtech Casinos in the UK
Playtech slots are not as commonly found as games from Pragmatic Play, Play ‘n GO or NetEnt. With Playtech being more selective with the online slot sites they work with, you’ll normally find Playtech slots at big gambling sites that have a sports betting product (i.e. bet365, NetBet and 888).
In recent times, you’ll find Playtech games at more and more slots-focused sites like Casumo and LeoVegas. Below, find our recommended list of Playtech casino sites where you can play for real money. All are licensed by the Gambling Commission with all reviews subject to OLBG’s comprehensive How We Rate policy.

1. Age of the Gods
With a Greek mythology theme, the Age of the Gods slot takes you up Mount Olympus where you join ancient Greek deities Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Hercules and Hades. Played on 5 reels and 20 paylines from 20p per spin, there are a number of bonus features including 4 free spins games.
With a free spins feature dedicated to various Greek gods, they offer 5x multipliers, an increasing multiplier, wild symbol transformations and stacked wilds on the 3 middle reels. The good news is that you can play various features until you uncover Hades on the picker screen. The best of the features (the Athena Free Games) can pay up to 50,000 x bet per free spin.
Randomly on a base game spin, you can trigger the Age of the Gods Jackpot feature where you pick from gold coins. Match 3 to win the corresponding progressive jackpot. You want the Ultimate Power Jackpot which guarantees at least £100,000 and pays an average of £499,000 every 44 days.
Due to the popularity of the Age of the Gods slot, Playtech has created an extensive Age of the Gods slot series. More information on the series can be found further down this guide.
2. Buffalo Blitz
Set in the prairies of North America, the Buffalo Blitz slot has 6 reels and 4,096 ways to win. Popular in Las Vegas casinos and playable from 40p per spin on all devices, the game focuses on the Free Games feature where you can begin with up to 100 free spins.
Look out for the Diamond Wild symbol as this substitutes and contains a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x. When a win involves a Diamond Wild, the multiplier applies to the win. Multiple Diamond Wilds will see multipliers work their magic. You can also retrigger the feature for unlimited extra free spins.
Offering 13,373 x bet max wins, Buffalo Blitz may have been released in July 2016 but is still one of Playtech’s most popular slot games. Due to its appeal, Playtech has created various sequels and spin-offs including a Megaways version.
3. Great Blue
Like Buffalo Blitz, the Great Blue slot is a land-based favourite. With an aquatic/whale theme, you head under the water on 5 reels and 25 paylines. Playable from 25p a spin, the graphics look rather dated but don’t let this fool you.
With a wild symbol that doubles wins when part of a winning combination, there is a Sea Shells Bonus feature where you pick from sea shells to reveal free spins and multipliers. With up to 33 free spins and a 15x multiplier up for grabs initially, you can win additional free spins, with no limits.
Boasting 20,000 x bet max wins, Great Blue is a classic amongst classics and has stood the test of time nicely. The gameplay may be straightforward but who doesn’t like free spins with multipliers?
4. Halloween Fortune
Despite being released in October 2012, the Halloween Fortune slot is another Playtech favourite. With 5 reels and 20 paylines, this witch-themed game is set on Halloween night. Playable from 20p per spin, it comes with a high 97.06% RTP rate.
In the Witches’ Brew Bonus feature, you pick from the 3 witches to win up to 20 free spins. Then pick from the 6 potions on the screen to play with a win multiplier up to 10x. There is also unlimited extra free spins to be won.
With 10,000 x bet max wins, Halloween Fortune paved the way for sequels and countless other witch-inspired slots. It's so iconic, it made our list of the top 13 Halloween slot games.
5. Gladiator: Road to Rome
An official game for the iconic Oscar-winning Gladiator movie, the Gladiator: Road to Rome slot has 5 reels and 25 paylines. Set in the Colosseum and featuring Tigris of Gaul, Proximo, Lucilla, Commodus and the Gladiator, there is a Colosseum Free Games feature
Before you begin, you pick from shields to win extra free spins, a win multiplier up to 3x, symbol payout boosts, extra wilds, symbol paying as scatters and Gladiator Wild nudges. If your luck is in, you could land 30,000 x bet payouts on each free spin.
Then you have the Gladiator Bonus feature which is played when you land 3 Helmet Bonus symbols. You then pick from helmets which award bronze, silver and gold prizes. If you uncover 9 gold helmets, you’ll win the progressive jackpot which averages out to £815,000: it has paid over £2.7 million before.
6. Hot Gems Xtreme
Go mining for riches with the Hot Gems Xtreme slot. With 6 reels and 4,096 ways to win, the Ways Boost mechanic will see the Growing Reels feature activated when a winning combination lands. With winning symbols replaced by new ones, an extra row is added which can lead to 8 rows and 262,144 ways to win.
With transforming TNT symbols and Big Symbols up to 3x3 in size, there are Walking Mystery symbols. In the Free Games feature, 1 extra row is added with each collapse or TNT explosion. With the number of rows only rising, it’s easier to play with 262,144 ways to win which can lead to 10,000 x bet max wins.
If you love mining-themed slots, you cannot go wrong with Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza Megaways or it’s sequel, Bonanza Falls (which offers 93.540 x bet max wins).
7. Jackpot Giant
Set in the Stone Age, the Jackpot Giant slot has 5 reels and 50 paylines. Playable from 50p per spin, it comes with a high 58.89% hit frequency rate. In the Giant Bonus feature, you come across volcanoes. Choose a volcano to win a cash prize, extra pick or ‘Win ‘Em All’ option which awards all prizes.
Then you have the Giant Jackpot feature which is triggered when you land a 5-of-a-kind win with wilds across payline 1. If you play at less than £4 per spin, you’ll win a 1,000 x bet prize. Fancy spinning at £4 per spin? It may be steep but this would result in the progressive jackpot being won. The average jackpot is £4.5 million!

8. The Walking Dead
Survive the apocalypse in The Walking Dead slot. An official game of the iconic TV zombie series, it is played on 5 reels and 50 paylines from just 10p per spin. With Negan, Michonne, Daryl, Carol and Rick Grimes on the reels, there is a Tower feature where you aim to land coin symbols which award cash prizes and fixed jackpots up to 1,000 x your total bet.
There are also 5 free spins features where you have a much higher chance of landing expanding wilds and coins (which trigger the Tower feature). I love the Wild Walkers Free Games feature where stacks of wilds award respins with coins transforming into wilds.
With 2,198 x bet max wins, it doesn’t offer the highest win potential but The Walking Dead slot game depicts the television series perfectly and is recommended for fans of the show.
9. Breaking Bad: Cash Collect & Link
The Breaking Bad: Cash Collect & Link slot is an official game of the television series. Played on 5 reels and 30 paylines, you join Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from just 10p per spin across all devices. Look out for 5 different Coin symbols which trigger a feature when landing with a Cash Collect symbol on reels 1 and/or 5.
Awarding cash prizes mainly, there is a Free Games Coin which awards up to 10 free spins. In the Heisenberg Collect & Link feature, you get respins where you aim to land Link and Mega Link Coins. Look out for Cash Coin symbols which are worth up to 100 x bet. If you fill all positions with Coin symbols, you’ll win Walter’s Stash Grand Prize of 500 x bet as well as the other prizes.
In the Breaking Bad Free Games feature, you head to the desert where Cash Collect symbols lock in position for 3 free spins. Each of them offers its own counter of free spins and collects Cash Coin, Prize Coin and/or Los Pollos Hermanos Free Games Coins. If you trigger the Heisenberg Collect & Link feature, all Cash Collect symbols are transferred over for bigger wins.
Finally, there is a Prize Coins feature where you can win 4 fixed jackpots up to 500 x bet. You can win prizes various times too! Entertaining and true to the series, Breaking Bad: Cash Collect & Link comes with 2,162.7 x bet max wins.
10. Blue Wizard
The most popular of the Fire Blaze Classics series, the Blue Wizard slot has 5 reels and 30 paylines. Extremely popular and spawning various ‘Wizard’ slot games, you can spin away from just 10p per spin.
Boasting a high 96.5% RTP rate, landing 5 or more Crystal Ball symbols will trigger the Fire Blaze Respin feature. Here, you’ll land cash prizes and/or fixed jackpots worth up to 2,000 x bet. Jackpots can be won several times for 2,880 x bet payouts.
There is also a Free Games feature where Blue Wizard Wild symbols on the middle reel come with multipliers up to 16x. Blue Wizard may be simple but it’s an iconic Playtech slot that remains as popular as any other. As a result, Playtech released a Megaways version which has up to 12,348 ways to win, a 96.47% RTP rate and 10,000 x bet max wins.
Age of the Gods Series
Playtech is probably best known for its Age of the Gods slots series. Age of the Gods: King of Olympus was released in June 2016 and this spawned a whole series of slot games based on ancient Greek deities.
Superbly designed and featuring Greek gods such as Zeus, Apollo, Atlas and Athena, Playtech expanded the series to include games with a Norse mythology theme. With over 30 Age of the Gods slots available, they offer various mechanics, bonus features and max win potential.
All Greek mythology-themed Age of the Gods slots offer you the chance to win 4 progressive jackpots. Randomly triggered on any base game spin, you pick from gold coins to uncover a jackpot. The Ultimate Power Jackpot will guarantee a minimum of £100,000 with an average payout of £499,000 every 44 days.

Real-Time Jackpot: £213,604.47

The Ultimate Guide to Age of the Gods Slots
