After a strong couple of years that have included the release of popular series including Age of Gods and Batman, Playtech is cutting a niche for itself in offering edgy content.This makes the acquisition of Eyecon very sensible because the gentler subject matter of their games creates far more diversity within the Playtech portfolio.
