New Lightning(TM) games & lower-limit tables expand player choice of stake size, speed of play to match their skill level
==
TORONTO, June 23 /CNW/ – CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, has released new enhancements to the poker software used by its licensees, some of the leading Internet poker sites around the world. New features include high-speed Lightning(TM) games and an expanded range of lower-limit games that offer Internet poker players a broad choice of games at their desired speed and levels.
“For CryptoLogic, it’s about delivering market-targeted products to our customers for greater player choice, entertainment and revenue potential,” said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “Whether you’re an amateur or a poker aficionado, CryptoLogic software offers the game you want, at the speed you want, in multi-currencies — and around the clock.”
New Lightning(TM) games are ideal for players looking for high-speed action. The games offer the same fun and rules as regular games, but at increased speed of play — players have only 12 seconds to act or hands are folded, and blinds are posted automatically. WagerLogic has also added 10 new game levels for players who prefer lower-stake games, including 0.15/0.25 No Limit and Pot Limit games, and 0.25/0.50 and 0.50/1.00 Limit games. These newest features can be found at top Internet poker sites, including CaribbeanSunPoker.com.
“We are excited to offer one of the most extensive poker offerings on the Internet from 0.15/0.25 to 150/300 that give players a variety of games to play,” said Andy Goetsch, CryptoLogic’s Vice President, Poker Software Development. “From play for free action at a speed you can learn, to high stakes, fast-paced poker to tournaments, we’re showing that CryptoLogic cares about poker and the heart of the Internet player.”
Ongoing investment in WagerLogic’s poker software is paying off for its customers, and is resulting in strong player traffic and engaging player experience. Most recently, more than 20 players qualified at WagerLogic licensees’ online tournaments to play in the $10,000 World Series of Poker New Orleans Circuit Event in May 2005 — one of the most prestigious land-based tournaments with over 200 players competing for a more than $2 million prize pool — and three licensees’ players achieved a dream come true by making it to the final table and winning more than $220,000 in aggregate.
The global Internet poker industry has grown dramatically, and is forecasted to reach $2.9 billion this year — up from $100 million less than three years ago. The launch of the new Lightning(TM) and lower-stake games are the latest enhancements to CryptoLogic-developed software that powers one of the top five revenue-generating poker sites on the Internet, according to PokerPulse.com, an independent research site. CryptoLogic continues to advance its market leadership in Internet poker by investing in strong partnerships with trusted, brand name licensees, and in product development and system scalability that meet the needs of online poker players.

Congrats on this new development – it’s always great to have the option to play on a faster table. And I have to say – I’ve really noticed a difference in terms of how many new players Caribbean Sun Poker has been getting recently – the time it takes for a single table tournament to start has been greatly reduced. Anyway, I’m definitely starting to like playing there. Congratulations, once again.

Hey, thanks Kevin. We appreciate the kind words. The new low-limit games have been extremely popular and I think the more experienced poker players enjoy the quicker games now.
Please check your review of Caribbean Sun…the bonus is now $90 for new players after 250 raked hands.
Have a good day
Mark,
I’m rewriting my review of Caribbean Sun and wanted to get clarification. You said that there is a $90 bonus, right? I understood that there was a 100% bonus, up to $50, and then another $40 bonus if you played 500 raked hands in a calendar month. Is this correct?

Hey Kevin,
Right, there is a $90 bonus for new players.
After your first 200 raked hands you receive $40. Then there is a 100% Match up to $50. The $50 is released to your account after 250 raked hands.
The $40 and $50 run concurrently, meaning you just need to play in 250 raked hands in the first month to earn the $90.
Returning players receive $40 EVERY month after 200 raked hands.
Have a great day.
Mark,
Thanks for the info – everything has been updated!
