June 20, 2008 - European facing online gambling software developer, Playtech, has released two new online casino games, and at least one casino licensee has already picked up the new games to make available to their players. Not surprisingly, the new games are video slots - thus making Playtech's repertory even more diverse, not to mention one of the largest in the world. The games are called "Wild Spirit" and "Silent Samurai", and like all of Playtech's other video slots, provide highly entertaining visuals and crisp graphics.

"Wild Spirit" is a 5-reel, 9-payline video slot themed around the heritage of the native North American culture. Brewing with "magic" and mystique, this video slot features a bonus round in which the player sits before the tribes Shaman and spiritual teacher. Although you won't get your fortune told, depending on the symbol you choose, your fate and fortune will be revealed (your fortune being cash earnings hopefully). And even if you choose a symbol that doesn't award immediate riches, you will at least be left with some free spins, which are certainly conducive to a future lined with gold.

As for "Silent Samurai", this too offers five reels and nine paylines of entertaining slot action. Pitting you against ninja assassins, the bonus round on this video slot gives you the chance to show your own fighting "skills". The more ninjas you kill, the more free cash you win. Fortunately, you don't need to type of skill required to master some of those intensely competitive video games now available on PC's, but only need to rely on good luck. And if you're feeling really lucky, "Silent Samurai" also offers a gamble feature, like that often found on Microgaming video slots and video poker machines.

For anybody unfamiliar with Playtech, now is a good a time as any to give them a go via any of their 100+ online casino licensees (everybody, that is, except U.S. players). Offering both Flash and download software, Playtech licensees also allow players to open free accounts to test out their casino games with unlimited play-money credits - imposing no obligation to play with real money. Being one of the pioneers of online gambling, there is no doubt that Playtech continues making the right moves to keep this giant software developer at the forefront of new online gambling technology.
