At the Top: CryptoLogic
The name CryptoLogic should be instantly recognizable to most within the online
casino gambling industry – the software development company is well respected
and caught a lot of media attention over the past couple years because the
gambling group hit some rocky patches and had a few very public media frenzies.
That being said though, the company has a top-notch software platform that is
well liked by the online casinos and even better received by the internet
gamblers themselves. CryptoLogic hits the right buttons on so many accounts –
the company has a great reputation, strong software, and is lucky enough have
secured major licensing deals with Marvel and DC Comics over the past few years.
If brand licensing deals are the currency of the online casino gambling industry
(and they are) then CryptoLogic is golden right now. Although there has been
some fuss about the fact that Marvel is looking to go non-exclusive now that the
contract with CryptoLogic is ending, the deals in the works with DC Comics is
still solid and will keep the software development company ingratiated with
gamblers. The Superhero and comics world are just huge. And although these
brands dominate in the United States, they are similarly wildly popular in the
UK and throughout Europe.
CryptoLogic is a still top-ten online casino software development company – and
that’s saying something considering the rigmarole that CryptoLogic has been
through. From a very public debacle with the company’s former CEO, to the
recessive economy hitting right as the company moved headquarters to Dublin,
although it’s been a tough couple of years for the development company, it has
also been rewarding to watch the gambling group adapt and change to meet the
growing needs of the international gambling industry. |
