888 Holdings Public Limited Company
('888' or 'the Company')
Signs Licensing Deal with CryptoLogic Limited ('CryptoLogic')
888, one of the world's most popular online gaming entertainment companies, has
announced a three-year licensing contract with CryptoLogic, the leading software
developer to the global Internet gaming market. The agreement is through
Cryptologic's wholly owned subsidiary WagerLogic. Under the agreement, the
Company will select and integrate casino games from Cryptologic that best
complement 888's broad offering.
Initially, four popular titles have been selected by 888 including Bejeweled,
Cubis and Millionaire's Club.
The announcement follows a number of third party games that have recently been
made available for customers using 888's Integration Platform, as the Company
continues to provide the best platform for companies to debut or grow the
exposure of their titles.
'Today's announcement is consistent with CryptoLogic's strategy to partner with
the world's biggest and best gaming brands - as a way to offer the ultimate
player experience,' said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. '888's
reputation, established player base and global marketing strength, paired with
CryptoLogic's industry-leading games - it's a winning combination.'
Gigi Levy, CEO of 888 added:
'This reaffirms 888's strategy of creating a game ecosystem, powered by an
industry-leading integration infrastructure, which enables 888 to introduce a
diversified offering to existing and new players, worldwide.'
