FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

WORLD POKER TOUR® BETS ON CASINO — WITH CRYPTOLOGIC

WPT’s Internet casino powered exclusively by CryptoLogic’s award-winning software

 

August 20, 2007 (Dublin, IRELAND, and Toronto, CANADA) – Vegas-style online casino action is now available from one of the world’s top names in poker entertainment. CryptoLogic Limited, a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market, has launched a new casino on World Poker Tour®’s (WPT) gaming site (www.worldpokertour.com), customized to match the look, feel and functionality that WPT’s devoted players enjoy.

 

Under an agreement between CryptoLogic’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Ltd., and WPT Enterprises Inc. (Nasdaq: WTPE), CryptoLogic will be the sole software provider for the new casino site. The companies also joined forces in April to launch WPT’s new Internet poker room, featuring CryptoLogic’s proven poker software.

 

“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, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “CryptoLogic’s award-winning 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 “10-pack” of CryptoLogic’s most popular award-winning games. These include Millionaire’s Club, CryptoLogic’s proprietary mega-progressive jackpot slot that recently paid out the two largest jackpots in online gaming history — more than $8 million and $4 million, respectively. The site will also feature fan favourites Hulk and Thor in smash-hit Marvel jackpot slots, and the phenomenally successful casual slot games, Cubis and Bejeweled — all available exclusively to CryptoLogic licensees.

 

“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 CEO of WPT Enterprises. “CryptoLogic’s poker software has been extremely popular with our customers, and by adding some of the Internet’s most popular casino games, the player’s experience at WPT will be second to none.”

 

WorldPokerTour.com becomes the latest major brand to join CryptoLogic’s casino customer base, which also includes famous names such as InterCasino, William Hill, Littlewoods and Playboy. CryptoLogic has earned the honour of Top Casino Software from Online Gambling Magazine in each of the last two years. The award, based on the votes of readers, players and website visitors, is widely considered the industry’s top honour.

Slivinski, Managing Director of WagerLogic. “The combination of top quality games from CryptoLogic -- and rapid deployment by WagerLogic -- is yet another competitive advantage for our customers, and our business.”
