CryptoLogic Releases New Version Of Online Poker Software
"With the latest version of CryptoLogic's online poker offering, we're strengthening our hand in the fastest-growing segment of the Internet gaming market," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "By delivering market-responsive gaming solutions such as more tournament options, CryptoLogic is helping licensees increase player traffic and multiply revenue prospects."
Today's announcement positions CryptoLogic for continued growth as online poker maintains its spectacular rise in popularity with both Internet gamers and the more traditional land-based players. Internet poker has grown to a current annual run rate of over $900 million according to PokerPulse - more than a nine-fold increase in the past year - and now exceeds 15% of the global Internet gaming market.
Through its WagerLogic subsidiary, CryptoLogic already powers one of the top ten-ranking poker rooms on the Web. Its most recent poker release introduces No Limit/Pot Limit games and multi-table tournaments - a huge marketing draw for Internet poker players. Expanded tournament options also offer licensees the opportunity to hold freeroll tournaments, where players get a free chance to win big. Increased game speed, easier-to-use screens, new and improved chat, and an enhanced game log that gives players an interactive view of their previous hands are all enhancing the gaming experience and driving increased play.
