Playtech is adding a further 300 employees to its 4,000-strong global workforce in the next eight months as it prepares to undertake several large-scale projects across a range of channels in the UK and emerging markets.
Playtech’s global headcount has grown by more than 600, or more than 20 per cent, between January 2014 and March 2015 as a result of continued growth and investment in Playtech ONE, its "omni-channel” technology offering.
Mor Weizer, CEO, said: “Playtech’s revolutionary technology enables a seamless, one-wallet and one-account experience with content available across all channels, online and mobile - and across all devices.
“The success of [Playtech’s] Coral Connect omni-channel solution has been a game-changer for the industry and for us as a business. It is a technology offering we adopted long before any of our competitors and is the future of betting and gaming.
"Therefore, with a number of significant agreements close to completion, we are currently undergoing a large-scale investment plan in order to deliver the maximum success for these projects.
“With expertise across all products, verticals, channels, software and hardware and our proven track record, Playtech is the only global gaming company with the ability to successfully deliver large-scale, regulated government and non-government projects in tandem with large-scale technology deployments,” Weizer added.
