Profitability with Online Casinos in Mind
CryptoLogic has unveiled a whole new strategy and according to the CEO,
profitability for CryptoLogic and for the online casinos is at the bottom line.
CryptoLogic is one of two companies that arguably hold the top spot as number
one internet gambling software development company. In recent months the
international online casino gambling industry was left scratching their heads
and wondering where CryptoLogic disappeared to – Microgaming has been all over
the headlines but new developments and announcements have been pretty scarce
from CryptoLogic.
All of that though now seems to snap into focus as the company unveils that
branding their software is a top priority. CryptoLogic already holds some of the
most lucrative licenses in the world for branded slots and video poker games,
and the such. Movie and television production companies have begun to
increasingly turn to the online casino gambling industry as a way to
additionally offer licensing deals and bring in affiliated revenue by leveraging
the brand. Top blockbuster movies that make an international stir are very
prominent right now – as is the branding of hit TV shows like “Deal or No Deal.”
Brian Hadfield is the President and CEO at CryptoLogic and he announced a
statement recently about the company’s new strategy and direction. "For several
months, CryptoLogic has been both assessing the changing market and looking at
what we do best,” Hadfield noted, the strategy “will focus on CryptoLogic's core
strengths: developing the most innovative games, licensing our acclaimed casino
software to top gaming sites, and leveraging our lead in branded content by
partnering with the world's top entertainment brands.”
This means that award-winning gaming titles from CryptoLogic will likely be
entering online casinos in every market. The company is leveraging specific
suites of the games rather than merely licensing the company’s entire gaming
platform. This means that an internet casino can still keep its existing gaming
platform but likely augment those games with a few choice titles from
CryptoLogic – this truly is the new wave and direction of the industry. |
