King Kong headlines CryptoLogic’s latest branded casino innovations
Lineup of seven new games also includes European blackjack, upgraded European roulette and Casinomeister-branded slot game
October 29, 2008 (Dublin, IRELAND) – The world’s most famous giant ape headlines the newest seven-game lineup from CryptoLogic Limited, a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market. The company today unveiled branded slot games based on Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong and the popular Casinomeister portal, as well as new European Blackjack and upgraded European Roulette software and other innovations.
“CryptoLogic has made its award-winning Internet casino platform its number one priority, and we continue to lead the way with the best branded and non-branded games on the market today,” said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “CryptoLogic’s other branded games based on well-known characters have been both highly popular and highly profitable – and we have high hopes that King Kong and our other new games can scale similar heights.”
The new games are now available to players at Intercasino.com and WilliamHillCasino.com, and will be available on other licensee sites in the near future.
King Kong
King Kong takes on New York City in a smashing new 25-line slot game based on the classic 1933 film directed by Merian C. Cooper. Two amazing bonus features – King Kong Goes Ape and King Kong Smash – will have players going bananas as they smash planes for a chance to win free spins or a mystery prize.
Casinomeister
Casinomeister is a popular portal that provides information and news on online gambling, online casinos, player issues and industry events. With no other site of its kind, Casinomeister has been providing both players and operators with crucial online casino information for a decade.
For six months, CryptoLogic has exclusive rights to offer a Casinomeister-branded slot game. This 30-line slot gives players a chance to win up to 100,000 times their bet. In the Casinomeister Feature, free games commence with all prizes tripled – with a chance to win even more free spins for a possible jackpot hit.
CryptoLogic’s new Casino Bonus Pack also features European Blackjack and an upgraded version of European Roulette, two games with world-wide player appeal. European Blackjack features updated and market-leading functionality, including a resizable game window and auto-bet and auto-strategy options. In this version of Blackjack, the dealer does not receive a second card until after all the player hands have been completed. Liberal split and double-down rules are included to ensure an exciting game experience.
CryptoLogic’s exciting new presentation of European Roulette reinvigorates this traditional casino favourite. Brilliant graphics and sounds combine with exciting new features to put a state-of-the-art roulette game at the player’s fingertips.
Rounding out the seven-game pack are a series of action-packed 25-line slot games, including Little Master, a feisty slot game that packs a punch – and a few kicks – as well as a chance to double or
