Virtual! series
Unlike reel-based slots, Playtech's Virtual! series turns simulated races and football fixtures into event betting, so outcomes are read through odds and selections rather than paylines. The franchise covers dog racing, a Cheltenham horse-racing format, and football, with each sport carrying its own listed return.

Playtech Virtual! Series: racing versus football
Virtual! Dog Racing and Virtual! Horse Racing at Cheltenham Festival arrived in 2023 with the same 0.1 to 25 bet range. Their payout profiles differ: Dog Racing lists 92.5% RTP, while the Cheltenham version lists 90%. That makes the sporting preference visible, but the return difference is equally relevant.
Virtual! Football expanded the line beyond racing in 2024. It keeps the 0.1 to 25 stake range, adds betting-strategy options, and lists 94.5% RTP, the strongest return of the available formats. Moving from a race field to a team sport is the franchise's clearest structural change.
The choice is therefore not simply dogs, horses, or football as decoration. It is a choice between event types with different listed RTPs: the Cheltenham race sits at the lower end, dog racing moves higher, and football sets the line's strongest mathematical position.
