Online Casino Software: Cryptologic

Cryptologic was based in Dublin, Ireland, having been originally founded in 1995 in Toronto, Canada as an attempt to find a real application for a secure online payment processing system. Its first online casino licensee launched in 1996 and since then the company grew to be the software provider for many leading casino sites. Cryptologic was once listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ and the London Stock Exchange.

Playing Features

Many of the innovations in casino software over the years have been pioneered by Cryptologic. These include live chat facilities, multi-player games and 3D graphics. They have focused on the user experience and for this reason are very popular amongst the players themselves. The 3D animations are particularly popular, with virtual players able to walk through the lobby chatting to other players and choosing which room to join. They also allow customisable sounds and graphics in the games, with table graphics and background colours able to be changed. This focus on an entertaining and adjustable playing environment has meant that they have maintained popularity amongst players who like to have some input with regards the setting in which they like to play their casino games.

Games

Cryptologic used to offer all the usual table games such as Blackjack and Roulette, plus over two hundred unique games in its online casino platform and was producing about twenty new games annually. Some of its more popular branded slot games included Batman and Spider-man and The Incredible Hulk. It used to offer many multi-player games such as Baccarat Full-Table and Punto Banco, as well as continuing its ever-popular series of video poker and video keno games for individual play.

Other major online casino software providers include Playtech, Microgaming and IGT/Wagerworks.
