Canadian online gambling software developer CryptoLogic Inc. has
announced the completion of a major upgrade to its poker platform.The
company's new "Distributed Poker" system provides licensees
seamless mobility to locate their shared online poker room in markets
that offer the best growth opportunities, without any interruption
to games or players.
The enhancements have also more than tripled the capacity of the network
to accommodate over 50 000 simultaneous online players, allow for
near-perfect network uptime, and will enable "live", seamless
updates of new features and games-without any interruption to the
room.
"Distributed Poker gives our group of poker customers the
ability to select the most attractive markets for their shared room,
both today and in the future. This is a critical advantage as operators
prepare for regulation of the UK market and as new opportunities present
themselves around the world," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's
President and CEO.
According to Michael Starzynski, CryptoLogic's Chief Technology Officer,
"CryptoLogic is one of the top five revenue-generating
poker rooms on the Internet thanks to consistent game innovation and
network enhancements like Distributed Poker. This new platform infrastructure
improves the gaming experience for players and licensees through market-leading
flexibility, scalability and resilience."
CryptoLogic's wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, is responsible
for licensing the CryptoLogic-developed Internet poker room. Recently,
the room has offered new features like Lightning ( ring games and
Thunder Tournaments, which give players the faster games they want,)
and SIXPAK (for "final table" action in every hand.) With
Distributed Poker, exciting new games and features like these can
be introduced to the shared poker room "live", without disruption
to games or players.
"Distributed Poker represents a state-of-the-art platform
for CryptoLogic to continue its strong market position in online poker
and execute its strategy of game innovation that satisfies the heart
of the online player," noted A.J. Slivinski, WagerLogic's
Managing Director.
