SUPER-HEROES COMING FROM CRYPTOLOGIC

Comic book heroes X-Men, The Hulk among new products licensed from Marvel

Online casino and poker room turnkey provider Cryptologic will be turning out some highly entertaining and novel slot games soon following the signing of an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement with Marvel Enterprises Inc., one of the world's most prominent character-based entertainment companies.

The new relationship, made through CryptoLogic's wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, makes CryptoLogic the sole developer of Marvel-branded casino slot games on the Internet.

"CryptoLogic's new relationship with Marvel - home to some of the world's legendary entertainment brands - will strengthen our competitive edge through new, exciting Super Hero-themed Internet casino games," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO.

"By delivering big-name action like the X-Men and The Hulk to the Internet, we're enhancing the entertainment factor of CryptoLogic games - and helping our customers appeal to an even wider player audience."

In today's competitive and increasingly sophisticated Internet casino market, players want more choice. Under the agreement, an initial six Marvel-themed, multi-currency jackpot video slot games are set for release this autumn. Internet casino players will be able to experience big-screen excitement with their favorite Marvel characters - and win cash prizes in US dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling.

Characters including The Hulk, Daredevil, The X-Men, Blade and The Punisher will swing into action in five new 9-line progressive jackpot video slot games. The new games offer multi-stage, interactive bonus levels with three separate jackpots available to be won - the first multi-level jackpot games ever to be offered on the Internet.

In addition, The Hulk will add his power to a new Hulk Fruit Machine - another in the series of British-style slot machines developed by CryptoLogic and favored by the strong UK player base of WagerLogic licensees.

At the time of writing the new Marvel slots are only available @ Intercasino
