Playtech slots in free play

Playtech has been building casino software for a long time, and its catalogue shows the range that comes with that. Next to big themed series you will find simple five-line games, Asian-themed slots and a few table classics. The common thread is solid, readable design. Every Playtech demo slot on this page opens with 1,000 virtual credits, with no account and no download.

Age of the Gods and the mythology slots

The Age of the Gods series is Playtech’s best-known franchise. Age of Gods King of Olympus and Age of the Gods God of Storms are both here, each with its own bonus built around Zeus and his circle. Rulers of Olympus and Prince of Olympus stay with the same mythology. The JP versions you will see elsewhere in the list, such as Funky Monkey JP or Great Blue JP, carry a jackpot layer on top of the base game; in demo, judge them on the base game and the free spins.

The long-running favourites

Great Blue is a good place to start. The orca is wild and doubles any win it completes, and the pearl scatters open a pick round where you choose shells to set the number of free spins and the multiplier. Buffalo Blitz uses six reels and thousands of ways to win, with free spins that can stack up wild multipliers. Mr Cashback has one of the more unusual ideas in slots: if a payline goes a set number of spins without a win, it pays you back a multiple of your line stake. Highway Kings is a straightforward road-trip game with lorries and few frills.

For Asian themes there is Bai Shi, Ji Xiang 8, Sun Wukong, Tiger Claw, Silent Samurai and Nian Nian You Yu; lighter titles include Funky Monkey, Irish Luck, Bonus Bears and Thai Paradise.

Cards and roulette

The list also includes table games: Black Jack Surrender, Jacks Or Better video poker and Roulette Classic. They are worth a few minutes in demo simply to learn the rules and the betting options before you play anywhere else.

How to test Playtech demos

• On Mr Cashback, keep an eye on the counter next to each line to see how the cashback builds.
• On Great Blue, note which shells you tend to pick and how the free spins play out with low versus high multipliers.
• Give Buffalo Blitz at least 150 spins: with so many ways to win, short sessions say little.
