Playtech, the company that designs, develops and licences software for the online gaming industry, has announced that it will be releasing three brand new games over the next few weeks. The three games will be released to all existing Playtech licensees, and the games have been named as Alien Hunter, Thrill Seekers and Football Rules.

Alien Hunter is a science-fiction themed video slot machine boasting five reels, twenty-five pay lines and three bonus rounds. It will be the first Playtech game where the skill of the player determines how much they win in one of the bonus rounds. The bonus round in question involves the player using their shooting skills to capture aliens that appear on screen in random positions. The better the player performs in this bonus round, the more they win.

Thrill Seekers takes its inspiration from theme parks, and features an eye-catching splash screen animation. It will be the first Playtech video slot machine with 50 pay lines, and to make this possible it will boast a brand new layout that allows the player to see four positions per reel.

Football Rules is, as the name suggests, a video slots game based on the world’s most popular sport, and boasts five reels and twenty-five pay lines. It will feature a “penalty shot” bonus round that gives the player a chance to win free spins and multipliers.

"We are very pleased with Playtech’s latest additions to its casino games package as this release is in line with our efforts to provide our licensees with an enhanced casino gaming package," said Playtech CEO Avigur Zmora. "Each of the games was developed in the best of Playtech tradition according to the needs and requests of our licensees and their clients and reflects Playtech’s efforts to release more games in greater frequency."

Playtech was founded in 1999 and provides games for dozens of the most popular online gaming sites, including Golden Palace Casino, Vegas Red Casino, Bet365 Casino and ToteSport Casino.
