Playtech has launched its first mobile bingo product on the Android operating system.

Players are now able to access their online accounts via Android handsets and play along with players from the web. The product will be rolled out across the iOS platform for iPhone and iPad users as well as a HTML5 version.

The product enables players to play bingo variants including 90, 75, and 80-ball games, as well as Deal or No Deal Bingo. In addition to this, players can chat with other users.

"This is a significant step for Playtech in terms of cementing our position as the leading supplier of bingo software in the industry, as well as offering licensees the largest networked bingo and jackpot liquidity through a new and thriving channel,” said Rhys Owen, head of bingo. “We've seen the trends in the sportsbook and casino arenas and its only logical that we develop a mobile offering which enables our partners to attract a new type of player as well as giving our licensees an additional medium through which to engage with their players.”

The mobile bingo product is now available through a select number of Playtech licensees and will be rolled out to a core group of partners.
