Online Casino Launched By WPT

CryptoLogic signs with World Poker Tour to offer new gaming site

Thursday 30th August 2007

Leading software developer for the global online gaming market, CryptoLogic, has launched a new casino on World Poker Tour’s (WPT) gaming site at worldpokertour.com customized to match the look, feel and functionality that devoted WPT players expect.

Under an agreement between CryptoLogic’s wholly-owned subsidiary WagerLogic Ltd and WPT Enterprises Inc, CryptoLogic is to be the sole software provider for the new casino site. With the deal, WPT becomes the latest major brand to join CryptoLogic’s casino customer base, which also includes InterCasino, William Hill, Littlewoods and Playboy. The companies previously joined forces in April to launch WPT’s new Internet poker room.

“For CryptoLogic, WPT’s new casino site builds on a great partnership that brings together one of the biggest names in gaming with one of the biggest names in e-gaming software,” said Javaid Aziz, President and Chief Executive Officer for CryptoLogic.

“CryptoLogic’s software has earned WPT’s confidence and it’s exciting to see casino and poker together on this very popular site. Together, we’re providing an exceptional entertainment experience to players worldwide.”

The new site will feature a ‘ten-pack’ of CryptoLogic’s most popular games including Millionaire’s Club, its proprietary mega-progressive jackpot slot that recently paid out the two largest jackpots in online gaming history, more than eight and four million dollars respectively.

The site will also feature fan favourites Hulk And Thor in Marvel jackpot slots, and the Cubis and Bejeweled slot games.

“For WPT, it was important to offer a superior casino experience with integrity and innovation and CryptoLogic was the natural fit,” said Steven Lipscomb, President, Founder and Chief Executive Officer for WPT Enterprises.
