WILLIAM HILL ONLINE POKER ROOM IN GREEK
British company launches new Greek language online poker room site
The trend toward language specific sites continued this week with the launch of a Greek site by William Hill Poker.
Gambling software provider CryptoLogic was involved in the project to build the new site, which a spokesman said was inspired by the booming popularity of web-based poker. Financial details were not disclosed. The new site gives Greek-speaking players the ability to play in their local language and use multi-currency deposits and withdrawals.
"William Hill's Greek-language launch points to the global potential of Internet poker, and that CryptoLogic software enables leading gaming brands to localise their online offerings for worldwide appeal," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's chief executive.
The Toronto-based company does 60 percent of its business in Britain and Europe. Earlier this month, it credited the growing Internet poker craze for boosting its third-quarter earnings from $5.1 million from $2.9 million last year.
