Playtech Launches New Live Game Show for Ladbrokes
Playtech, the world’s leading gambling technology company, has launched a new bespoke live game show for Entain-owned Ladbrokes UK.
The dedicated studio is hosted at the state-of-the-art Playtech Live studio in Riga, where it has been afforded the highest level of production and management. This is one of the most complex bespoke games to date and it continues to show Playtech’s commitment to delivering industry-leading Live games where every aspect of the game was built specifically, to bring a complete UX experience for the players.
This built-in partnership in conjunction with Entain and CR games uses their iconic in-house brand where the games; Well Well Well and Rainbow Rewards will showcase new bonus rounds, including– Buckets of Gold, Rainbow Pays and Magic Reels – a new wheel mechanic which allows customers to see all the enhanced win potentials.
This game follows a series of customised solutions delivered across the Entain group, including dedicated tables, such as Magic 7 Blackjack, Coral Sports Area, Ladbrokes Exclusive tables and the Elevation area.
“We are delighted to bring the best of our in-house slots branding to a world-class game show exclusively for the Ladbrokes brand, this cements our position as the home of game shows, thanks to the joint effort and collaboration between Playtech, Ladbrokes & CR games. What initially began as a few mock-ups I designed in June 2021 has grown into a fully-fledged live game. Although the nine months of collaboration alongside our in-house slots’ provider CR Games and Playtech were a rollercoaster, it was a ride I’d happily queue up for again! I’d like to thank everyone who I had the pleasure to work with on this project! I could not be prouder of the result,” Adam James Lahouiri, Live Casino Commercial and Product Manager at Entain, said.
“We are honoured that Entain – Ladbrokes UK chose Playtech to build this bespoke Live Game Show, we always strive to deliver bespoke games to support our partners in delivering games which support their business strategies. When you combine gameplay and the presentation perspective with the talented Playtech Live studio production team, you are looking at the best studio experience in the business. The level of detail that has gone into the production of the game Well Well Well is truly commendable and we are thrilled to be working with the fantastic Entain team to create the most engaging responsible gambling entertainment experience for their players,” Kevin Kilminster, Head of Live Casino Innovation at Playtech Live, said.

This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
