Cryptologic Casinos
Brothers Mark and Andrew Rivkin founded CryptoLogic in 1995 in a classic way – in their parents’ basement in Toronto, Canada. Their goal was to create a secure online transaction system and make it operational. The brothers soon laid the foundation of a software solutions provider that happens to be one of the oldest in the industry from today’s perspective.
...What should you know about CryptoLogic?
CryptoLogic established a subsidiary company named WagerLogic to use it as a license provider for the main studio’s gaming software, payment operations, and support activities.
CryptoLogic’s first licensee was launched in 1996. After InterCasino, the studio closed numerous deals involving online casinos and poker rooms. The contracts were inked with industry brands such as William Hill – one of the UK’s leading bookmakers. Another major contract with Littlewoods Gaming followed. This resulted in a certification from the Isle of Man authorities in 2002.
The B2B-oriented company was eventually acquired by Amaya Gaming Group in 2012. Not long after the deal was made, Amaya sold WagerLogic to a third party – Goldstar Acquisitionco Inc. The deal was a fact by February 2014, and it included all the assets, including InterBingo, InterPoker, and InterCasino. A year later, in 2015, Amaya sold CryptoLogic as well. The new owner was NYX, meaning that the current owner of CryptoLogic is none other than SG Digital.
Which are the most popular CryptoLogic titles?
CryptoLogic’s most famous products include the following:
- The Incredible Hulk – Ultimate Revenge This is obviously a Marvel-themed slot, and it offers relatively medium volatility. There is a bonus round featured that is basically a separate game offering free spins and multiplying rewards. There are low-limit payouts that players should consider, as such returns might be a better option compared to the side games. The slot features a dozen different symbols, including a wild symbol.
- Gullivers Travels – This slot features some unique ideas that make it stand out from the rest. The so-called “flip-out” win is one of these neat features. It books the money you won, and when the symbol flips, it turns into a new symbol. This often leads to more wins, and then the symbol flips again, meaning that the winning process could continue for quite a while. “Mega Lines” is yet another great feature this title offers. There are 25 lines to play with, and if the player happens to hit the fifth one, they go up to 40 lines. The typical free spins option is included as well. The game is well-designed, and the gameplay is very exciting.
