Online Casino Games Out?
CryptoLogic is one of the premiere online casino software development companies
in the world. The company has a lot going for it and has a stellar reputation
not only at the corporate level and with the standards organizations, but the
players just seem to love CryptoLogic games. CryptoLogic’s signature online
casino software though is the licensed games from Marvel Entertainment. Marvel
Comics owns a lot of the hugely popular comic book brands that captivate the
global market and those major comic book brands were licensed out to CryptoLogic
several years ago. The deal has since been re-upped and the Marvel deal is one
of CryptoLogic’s key features that really attracts the online casinos to license
the company’s software. Just this month Disney announced the company had
finalized the purchase of Marvel Entertainment; there has been no indication of
whether this Disney deal will affect CryptoLogic’s licensing deal.
Disney is pretty wholesome and that is a cornerstone of the brand. The Disney
image is fiercely protected at every level, from the most minute detail of the
theme parks to corporate and even the scripts of the movies and TV shows, it is
all designed with wholesome family entertainment in mind. The online casinos
though are highly controversial in the US right now and there has been no
indication of whether Disney plans to pull the plug on CryptoLogic’s licensing
deal with the comic book company.
The basic facts of the situation indicate that Disney will have no choice but to
allow CryptoLogic the continued use of the Marvel Comics characters and branding
because the two companies had an existing contract in place that will last for
several more years before it expires. This is good news for the online casinos
and internet gamblers –all of the favorite CryptoLogic games will still be up
and available for several years yet. |
