CryptoLogic Inc is a Canadian producer of software to online casinos through WagerLogic Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CryptoLogic Inc.They are responsible for the licensing of its gaming software and services to well known companies such as William Hill Online Casino, The Ritz Club London Online Casino and Littlewoods Online Casino.CryptoLogic Inc started in 1996 and offer more than 80 Internet-based casino games in many languages using US Dollars, British Pound Sterling and Euro currencies.This is a Company that can be trusted and they are listed on the following Stock Exchanges: Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: CRY), Nasdaq National Market (symbol: CRYP) and the London Stock Exchange (symbol: CRP).
They offer an integrated e-cash management system with 24/7 email and telephone customer support.The Company's proprietary technologies enable secure, high speed financial transactions over the Internet, and its leadership in regulatory compliance makes it one of very few companies with gaming software that is certified to strict standards similar to land-based gaming.At this point we must state that the William Hill Online Casino no longer uses the Ecash system provided by CryptoLogic/WagerLogic,but uses a Boss Media solution instead.
The CryptoLogic/WagerLogic casinos are of an excellent standard,they contain great graphics with superior sounds.Navigation is very easy with the games lobby always on show.You scroll through to the game type of your choice then the different combinations appear in "clickable" links.The casinos offered are in download format and instant play in your browser.
If you opt for the download casino a relatively small application will be installed onto your PC.The general size of this is 337 KB, which makes this a very quick download.(If you are not happy to download from the casino site,you can request a CD,this will be sent to you within a couple of days,and will have the complete casino program on it.) Once the download is complete you can begin to install the casino.The size of the download means that only the basics of the casino are available (see below for more information).There will be a blackjack game for you to play and that normally is it.However,prior to all of the games becoming available you have to register if you want to play for real or log a user name if you want to play for fun.
Opening an account is quick and easy.You simply click on the "create account" button in the casino to start the process,you will then have to provide the following:
Personal details, these ensure that all financial transactions are accurate and secure.
Login details,choose a username and password for your account.
Payment details,ie your Debit or Credit card details.
Once this is done you are nearly there.But as we said earlier,not all of the games are available just yet.The software contains an "upgrade assistant" you select the game of your choice and the "upgrade assistant" will install that game and that game only.Some firewalls may prevent the "upgrade assistant" from completing this task,so you might have to switch it off at this stage.
Earlier,we stated that only one game would initially be downloaded,but there have been new developments that enable you to choose different packages within the downloaded application,these include a basic,slot,table games or video poker package.Whichever one you choose,the relevant games will be installed and you can decide to install others at anytime.Now you're ready to go.
CryptoLogic casinos offer slick game play across most of the games.We say most because some of the slots don't always run smoothly,typically Millionaires Club Progressive and the Rag to Riches slots,although they are improving.However,the auto spin option within the games do look rather tacky and basic,they could learn a lot from Microgaming in that aspect.The video pokers are extremely smooth and fast over the whole range,better we think than Microgamings'.There is nothing wrong with the table games whatsoever and they play effortlessy over the variety available.There are over 80 casino table and slot games,and the number is growing all the time, that try hard to simulate the graphics, sights, sounds and excitement of a real casino (you know what we think of that statement but they do try.) The CryptoLogic/WagerLogic casinos also offer high value progressive jackpots with the chance for bigger wins,multi currency and multi language capabilities,multi player games,private or public tables, real time chat with other players and a near impossible daily free game,Break the Bank,where you have to correctly guess a nine digit combination to open a bank vault,if you are lucky and believe me you will need to be,there is a £100,000 cash prize.There are also reporting tools within the software that enable you to keep a check on your deposits,withdrawals and games played,with a hand by hand report if needed.
If your chosen casino uses Ecash,then you will have to use a personal identification number (PIN) to withdraw your winnings,this will be sent to you,very promplty,by mail after you have made your first deposit.
