Playtech Plc is making a slow return to the regulated US market after losing 40% of value when the UIGEA law went into effect. Michigan and New Jersey online casinos will be host to exclusive new Playtech live dealer studios. The content will also be available online in the New York market through Bet365. Once approved, PlayTech studios will offer live blackjack, roulette, and baccarat from the studios and receive feeds from Play Tech's Quantum Roulette.

Playtech Live Casino will launch two live dealer studios in the USA. It's the company's first venture into the US live casino realm. The company is grateful for the warm welcome and support from the Atlantic City and Southfield communities. Online gambling over the internet has never been specifically illegal. However, several US Attorneys General have issued differing opinions. Nevada has so far refused to open online casinos even though state law authorizes them. Online casinos and poker sites have been launched in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.

IGT is a part of the Italian lottery giant GTECH/Lottomatica. It filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Justice in late November. Playtech acquired the Aristocrat Lotteries in 2014 and in October it was taken over by Aristocrats for US$3.7 billion.
