Playtech Multi-Player Online Pokies Are Exciting

Playtech and Microgaming are leading software providers to Australian online casinos. Both offer multi-player online pokies, which allow a number of players to wager at the same time on the same game and share the rewards. Therefore they are more exciting. This article reviews two multiplayer pokies from Playtech.

Playtech first released the multi-player pokie Fishing with Buddies at its online casinos. Up to five players can access this game at the same time. To start with each player begins wagering on the main game independently. However he can see the screens of the other players. As the players are wagering, a bonus game may be randomly triggered. This will happen at the same time for all players. This bonus game will be played in two stages. In the first stage you have to select bears that will catch fish for you. The more you have wagered in the main game, the more fish your bear will catch and larger will be your bonus. In the second stage, the bears of three players with the highest scores in the first stage release the fish caught by them and receive further bonus credits.

The second Playtech multi-player online pokie is titled Everybody’s Jackpot. It has more integrated multi-player action leading to a progressive jackpot. The online pokie has a game show theme which is quite popular at Australian online casinos. Some online pokies from Playtech have symbols in a 3×3 matrix with 8 paylines. Everybody’s Jackpot follows this structure. The multi-player feature is the Mystery Progressive Jackpot, which is triggered randomly for any one player, but the jackpot is shared by many players. In order to be eligible for a share of the jackpot you must have wagered at least 50 credits on this game in the last 24 hours. The player who triggered the jackpot spin wins 70% of amount of the progressive jackpot. 15% is shared equally by all the other qualified players and the remaining 15% is shared by the other qualified players in proportion to their bets during the last 24 hours. This is an extremely fair distribution system. The player who hits the jackpot gets the lion’s share. But players who have met the eligibility requirement and are offline when the jackpot is hit also get a share.

Both these multi-player online pokies are live at all Playtech Australian online casinos. Omni Casino, Casino.com and Mansion Casino are highly recommended.
