A Bold Move from Cryptologic
Among all online casino software providers Cryptologic takes one of the leading positions. More than 400 slot machines, poker and table games are offered at Cryptologic-based online casinos. Cryptologic enjoys great popularity for their high-tech graphics, for their themes, and for the bonuses which can be provided by slot machines. They are making a bold moveby proving Cryptologic-based software platforms to such online casinos which already have some certain software provider. Among the offered games there will be only be their slots.
Cryptologic have really decided that they needed broadening of their consumers’ base in order to increase turnover. The main objective is to let ever more players to reach their games. By now any online casino has had just one software provider. That is, if you really enjoy playing games from Real Time Gaming or RTG you would have no other variants than to play at one of their casinos. The same with Cryptologic – if you liked this provider’s game, to play it you would necessarily belong to some another online casino. This new change will open a new possibility of belonging to one casino and at the same time finding those games which you truly love.
Recently Cryptologic has signed an agreement with Totesport. This contract is a multi-year agreement with the UK Company. According to this agreement Cryptologic will provide their slot machines to the sports betting site. Currently they’re slotted to offering their latest 6 games, which are going to be both Cryptologic-branded and unbranded slots. Yet the promised slot machines are just going to be released, although the players can expect that these slot games will be analogical to or based on the Cryptologic’s top revenue slot games. The abovementioned slot games will become available to the players a bit later – that is, in the 3rd quarter of the year 2009.
