"As Java mobile phones have become prevalent we now have a brand new channel for our casino applications. We evaluated a number of partners before selecting Masabi - their ability to build secure, highly usable and graphically rich applications on even the most constrained mobile devices will enable our licensees to effectively extend their offerings into the mobile space."
- Avigur Zmora, Playtech CEO
background
Playtech (AIM: PTECH) develops unified software platforms for the online gambling industry, primarily targeting existing online operators wanting to upgrade their system, sportsbooks looking to diversify and land-based operators making their online debut. Playtech gaming applications — online casino, poker, bingo, live gaming, land-based kiosk networks and fixed-odds games — are fully intercompatible and can be freely incorporated as stand-alone applications, accessed and funded by players through the same user account and managed by the operator by means of a single powerful management interface.
Founded in 1999, Playtech has over 350 personnel distributed globally, around eighty percent of whom are engaged in research and development of current and future gaming technologies.
mobile solution
In 2005 Masabi signed an exclusive deal with Playtech to build a range of mobile phone casino applications. Masabi’s secure mobile development experience, combined with its skills in developing on low-end phones, has allowed Playtech to effectively replicate its online gaming experience on mass-market handsets. The first mobile Slots, Black Jack and Roulette applications are already being rolled out to Playtech licensees and the games have already started to win awards.

The Playtech mobile product works on over 750 Java handsets from all of the major vendors (growing every day) as well as Windows PocketPC PDAs and Smartphones and Blackberries.
