TORONTO, ONTARIO-- Internet poker growth, strong customer relationship extend European reach for CryptoLogic software
CryptoLogic Inc. (TSX:CRY)(NASDAQ:CRYP)(LSE:CRP), a leading software developer for the global Internet gaming industry, has launched a new Greek-language Internet poker site for William Hill Poker under exclusive license from WagerLogic Limited, CryptoLogic's wholly-owned subsidiary. William Hill, one of the world's most trusted gaming brands and the largest sports bookmaker in the UK, is extending the global reach of its highly successful online poker service to the Greek speaking population worldwide.
"William Hill's Greek-language launch points to the global potential of Internet poker, and that CryptoLogic software enables leading gaming brands to localize their online offerings for worldwide appeal," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "CryptoLogic's decade of experience in delivering multi-language, multi-currency software has long been a strategic advantage in the Internet casino market, and it's exciting to bring the same strategy for success to the world of Internet poker."
William Hill's new site (www.williamhillpoker.gr) is the first deployment of CryptoLogic-developed online poker software in a European language. This offering gives Greek-speaking gamers the ease of playing in their local language and convenient deposits and withdrawals in multi-currencies, with access to multi-currency tables (in Euros, US dollars and UK sterling). As part of the WagerLogic licensee central room, which attracts more than 7,500 poker players online simultaneously from around the globe, William Hill players enjoy the games they want, when they want, at the speed they want, and in a choice of languages and currencies.
"Whether it's playing for fun, playing for pennies or playing for high stakes, Internet poker is one of the fastest-growing games in Europe," said Peter Nolan, Group Director of Interactive Business at William Hill. "One of the key benefits of our long relationship using CryptoLogic software is the flexibility with which we can take the fun and excitement of William Hill Poker to new people and new places."
"Europe is one of the most promising Internet gaming markets," said A.J. Slivinski, WagerLogic's Managing Director. "We're delighted to enable William Hill to be one of the first to offer a world-class multi-currency poker room in the Greek language - and look forward to seeing excellent results."
