GTECH places an emphasis on recreating the atmosphere of playing in a brick and mortar casino, and uses advanced graphics, interactivity, and more to portray a lively and entertaining casino gaming experience.

Currently online gambling sites that use software by GTECH G2 and their subsidiaries do not operate in the United States market. That means American players are unable to log in and play with real money, though in some cases they can play free no-download versions of the games. With the American legal situation regarding online gambling in flux and in a gray area, it is unlikely that GTECH will accept U.S. customers as long as the laws stay the same. GTECH and its subsidiaries are popular throughout other parts of the world, though, most notably Europe.
