Party
Casino to Get Cryptologic Online Casino Games
23rd October 2008
The
online gaming software provider Cryptologic and
the online casino PartyCasino have entered into
a five-year licensing agreement through which
Cryptologic will offer some of its best branded
games to PartyGaming.
In
the arrangement worked out six Cryptologic online
slots games will be available on the PartyCasino
site in early 2009. The agreement provides for
adding more games at subsequent dates. The agreement
was entered through WagerLogic, a subsidiary of
Cryptologic that licenses and services Cryptologic
software, and PartyGaming the parent operator
of the “Party” brand of gambling portals
such as PartyCasino, PartyPoker and PartyBets.
The
six online casino games chosen by PartyCasino
cover four brands with which Cryptologic has partnership
arrangements. Three of the games are from the
Marvel brand in which Cryptologic has tied up
with Marvel Comics to produce online slots games
based on the latter’s super heroes. These
three games are The Fantastic Four, Hulk, and
Spider-Man, all of which are extremely popular
with online slots players.
The
other three games are Bejeweled, Cubis, and Street
Fighter that have their separate branding agreements.
Bejeweled and Cubis are from the Casual Game series
of Cryptologic, whereas Street Fighter has an
action-based theme like the Marvel slots.
Brian
Hadfield, President and Chief Executive Officer
for CryptoLogic, called this agreement as “one
of Cryptologic’s biggest customer wins of
the year”. He also added that this agreement
vindicated Cryptologic’s strategy of developing
branded games. This is indeed true because PartyCasino
is Cryptologic’s ninth new customer this
year. The others involve big names like 888.com,
Sky Betting, Gaming Media Group and Maharajah
Club.
PartyCasino,
like 888.com, currently operates using proprietary
software and will integrate the new Cryptologic
games into its system.
Jim
Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for PartyGaming,
was equally ecstatic at the alliance of “two
of the biggest names in Internet gaming”.
This
agreement is in consonance with PartyGaming’s
strategy to broaden its product base through innovative
alliances. PartyGaming has tied up with StudioCanal
for the development of online slot games based
on Hollywood movies like The Terminator and Rambo.
Other movie-based fare offered at PartyCasino
includes Mission: Impossible, The Godfather and
Saturday Night Fever.

Background
PartyGaming
Plc is an online gambling company, best known
for its online poker room PartyPoker.com. It is
headquartered in Gibraltar and quoted on the London
Stock Exchange. PartyGaming Plc was founded in
1997 with the launch of Starluck Casino. Prior
to passage of anti-online gambling legislation
by the U.S. Congress, PartyGaming Plc was the
world's largest online poker brand (based on ring
game revenue and number of players); though its
total number of active players has diminished
with the loss of its U.S. customers, the company
continues to grow with a solid European presence.
History
PartyGaming
was founded in 1997 as a network of gambling sites
operated by Ruth Parasol in the Caribbean. The
network eventually operated under an umbrella
company called iGlobalMedia, which then changed
its name to PartyGaming. PartyGaming's flagship
site, PartyPoker.com, was launched in 2001. Its
primary shareholders are Parasol, Group Operations
Director Anurag Dikshit, Marketing Director Vikrant
Bhargava (who joined the company in 1998 and 1999,
respectively), and Russ DeLeon (Parasol's husband,
Harvard attorney and serial entrepreneur). The
foursome sold over 23% of their combined shares
to take the company public on the London Stock
Exchange in 2005. Dikshit and Bhargava stepped
down from the company's board in May 2006. Dikshit
announced that he will remain with the company
as COO; Bhargava will continue as an advisor and
shareholder of the company while pursuing other
business interests.
PartyGaming's holdings include the PartyPoker.com
poker site, PartyCasino.com, PartyBingo.com, and
Starluck and Planet Luck Casinos. In February
2006 PartyGaming introduced a new integrated platform,
enabling multiple games to be played without requiring
customers to log in each time and deposit funds
in separate accounts. An online backgammon site,
PartyGammon.com, was launched in mid-2006. In
August 2006 PartyGaming acquired Antigua and Barbuda
registered sports betting operator Gamebookers
which focuses on the European market.
Due
to concerns about the legality of online gambling
in various jurisdictions around the world, the
company is incorporated in Gibraltar. At one point,
U.S. consumers represented around 75% of PartyGaming's
revenues. In October 2006, PartyGaming pulled
out of the US market following the passing of
anti-gambling measures in the Safe Port Act, and
the company's share price dropped 60% as a result.
In 2007 the Company bought Empire Online's Gaming
business and all off Intercontinental Online Gaming.
PartyPoker.com
PartyPoker.com
was launched in 2001 and has since grown to be
one of the largest online poker card rooms. At
peak times, tens of thousands of players can be
found playing on the site's virtual poker tables.
The site is endorsed by Mike Sexton, the host
of the World Poker Tour television show. The domain
partypoker.com attracted at least 3.6 million
visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com
study.
Games include Texas Hold 'em (No Limit and Fixed
Limit), Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-card Stud
and Seven-card Stud Hi-Lo. Stakes range from 0.05/0.10
to 100/200 for limit games, and 0.02/0.04 to 25/50
for No-Limit/Pot-Limit games.
Players can play for either real money or play
money. All poker variants offered at real money
tables are offered at play money tables. Party
Poker offers a bad beat jackpot, which has at
times grown to over $700,000 USD.
Party Poker makes money by taking a percentage
of each ring game pot (this is known as the rake)
and approximately 10% of entry fees for each real-money
tournament. The site has dealt over six billion
real money hands and over fifty-five billion play
money hands, including tournaments.
Party Poker is the official kit sponsor of Leyton
Orient football club, of the English Football
League One.
Party Poker offers hand history files for analysis,
discussion and conversion using a poker hand converter.
Tournaments
The site offers a variety of tournaments, ranging
from two to thousands of participants with some
very lucrative prize pools.
Single-table and multi-table tournaments are offered.
Furthermore, there are both scheduled tournaments
(which begin at a specified date and time) and
tournaments which are offered 24 hours a day and
begin as soon as the table is full. The latter
type of tournament is commonly called a "Sit
'n Go" or "SNG" tournament.
The flagship tournament is the PartyPoker.com
Million Tournament, a Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament.
The second, third and fourth Party Poker Million
tournaments were World Poker Tour events. The
tournament begins with online qualifiers but the
final stages are held at actual poker tables aboard
a cruise ship. The winners of previous Party Poker
Million events were Kathy Liebert, Howard Lederer,
Erick Lindgren, Michael Gracz, and Mike Schneider.
Additionally, there are play money tournaments,
but the offerings are not nearly as extensive
as the real money tournaments and mostly consist
of single table events.
Every player is limited to playing up to twelve
tables simultaneously.
Hellkat
Hellkat is a form of Texas Hold 'Em poker developed
by PartyPoker.com. The games are played in the
same way as a normal Texas Hold 'Em tournament,
except that there is a time limit of 5 to 15 minutes
when the tournament will end. At the end the prize
money is paid to the three players with the most
chips. Because of the time limit, the players
with the lower stacks play fast and furiously
going all-in often as the time runs out.
Split with "skin" partners
In its early days, PartyGaming entered into several
marketing partnerships that allowed companies
such as Empire Online, who ran Empire Poker, to
share in a common pool of poker players. Players
could access the PartyGaming network either through
the PartyPoker.com software itself or through
the software of one of PartyGaming's "skin"
partners.
In mid-2005, PartyGaming made various moves to
ringfence its own players from those of the "skin"
partners. The company began to explore mergers,
buyouts, and other options. In October of that
year, PartyGaming launched an upgraded PartyPoker.com
software system that cut off the "skin"
partners from the main pool of players, and left
the "skin" players on the old system.
In November 2005, offer discussions with Empire
Online were terminated, and on 6 December 2005,
Empire Online confirmed that it had started legal
proceedings against PartyGaming in the High Court
of Gibraltar. On 14 February 2006, the two companies
announced a US$250 million settlement deal; PartyGaming
agreed to acquire Empire's "skin" operations,
and Empire dropped the suit. In December 2006,
PartyGaming announced the acquisition of the remaining
assets of Empire Online.
PartyGaming also acquired the operations of former
"skin" partners IntertopsPoker and MultiPoker,
in separate private transactions for undisclosed
amounts.
PartyPoker.net
PartyGaming
operates PartyPoker.net, a free site that, when
PartyGaming offered real money gaming in the United
States, was advertised on United States television
as "the world's largest poker school"
due to restrictions of directly advertising gambling
sites. Prizes are offered for winning tournaments
on the site. Although no money is exchanged, an
age limit of 18 (or 21 in some states) is still
enforced. Players on the .net site play the same
games as players playing the free games from within
the PartyPoker.com software client.
]iGlobalMedia
software
In
the 1990s, Las Vegas consultant and actuary Michael
Shackleford ran a computer trial of the first
blackjack and roulette games offered by iGlobalMedia.
Shackleford stated that the "results clearly
showed they (the games) weren't fair. Ruth Parasol's
spokesman Jon Mendelsohn acknowledged that the
chances had "tipped too much toward the house",
but attributed the problems to "software
flaws", not rigging. It led to the development
of their own proprietary software rather than
using external platforms. There was no reimbursement
to the players iGlobalMedia allowed to play the
unfair games.

where you can select a real money or play money
game and join a tournament. If you like, you can
watch the action while others play.
In
the center of the window, you'll see a list of
all our tables and tournaments. Simply use your
mouse to scroll through the list.
The
‘Browse’ and ‘List’ lobby
views give you two great ways to find the table
or tournament that’s right for you. Here’s
what they do:
The
‘List’ view uses a traditional ‘tree’
navigation structure which is simple, easy to
use, and instantly recognizable to anyone who’s
searched for a file on their PC
The ‘Browse’ view gives you access
to a range of filtering options which you can
use to refine the list of tables you’re
browsing; you can even use multiple filters to
make your search as precise as possible
You can toggle between the two Lobby views using
the icons at the top-right of the main tab navigation
area.
You
can also choose to apply a 'filter' to your view
of the tables or tournaments.
For
more details about all the great features our
Lobby has to offer, take our guided Game Lobby
QuickTour.
