CryptoLogic signs games deal with UK's Victor Chandler Group

Victor Chandler is the grandson of Victor Chandler senior, who founded the original company in 1946, and is the driving force behind Britain's leading independent bookmaker.
The first set of games, both branded and non-branded, are scheduled to go live in the third quarter of 2009, with a complete rollout over the remainder of the year.

The games will be made available through Gaming Technology Solutions plc (GTS), the CryptoLogic partner that provides a platform for many of the world's largest Internet gaming sites.

"Today, CryptoLogic adds yet another blue-chip European gaming brand to the growing list of customers offering players an extraordinary e-gaming experience," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "This is an excellent example of CryptoLogic's "build-once-license-often" business strategy in action - and a sign of the continued demand for our games among the world's top operators."

From its Headquarters in Gibraltar, Victor Chandler offers a wide range of gaming products tailored to each market. Victor Chandler is supported by some of the industry's most experienced managers and works with governments, sporting groups and local officials to reshape the international bookmaking and gaming industry. The company has customers in more than 160 countries, employs over 350 people.

"CryptoLogic is one of the best in the business, so partnering with them makes perfect sense," said Michael Carlton, CEO of Victor Chandler International. "We are committed to providing our customers with a sophisticated, multi-layered operation with easy-to-use betting platforms that will keep them coming back for more - and CryptoLogic games deliver just that blend of simplicity and sophistication."

Boasting more than 280 games, CryptoLogic has one of the most comprehensive casino suites on the Internet today, with games featuring some of the world's most famous action and entertainment characters. It has earned rave reviews from industry peers and players alike, and in 2009 earned Gambling Online Magazine's Top Casino Software award for the fourth consecutive year. Based on the votes of players around the world, it is widely considered the industry's top honour.

"Victor Chandler fits our customer profile perfectly: a respected entertainment brand, an attractive player base, and a reputation for innovation," added Justin Thouin, CryptoLogic's Vice President. "It's a win-win deal for our companies - and for the players who enjoy our games."
