Paddy Power adds CryptoLogic as a new games provider

Online gambling software provider Cryptologic has followed up on its games supply deal with Sportingbet last week with a new agreement, this time to provide quality games to the major Internet gambling group Paddy Power.com.

The three-year agreement to provide at least 9 of the software company's most popular online slot games to Paddy Power has already commenced, with two of the games, a mix of both branded and non-branded titles, now live on Paddy Power Games and the remainder scheduled to roll out before the end of 2009.

The games will be made available to Paddy Power Games through Orbis Technology's Fixed Odds Games (FOG) platform. CryptoLogic announced a deal with Orbis in December 2008 as part of its successful strategy to expand its channels to the Internet gaming market.

“Paddy Power is one of the world’s most celebrated gaming brands, and it’s exciting for CryptoLogic to provide them with some of the world’s most celebrated games,” said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “These games are proven profit-makers for our customers, and that is why CryptoLogic continues to attract the global giants of online entertainment.”

Christopher Coyne, Head of eGaming at Paddy Power said “We are excited to be adding CryptoLogic games, which strengthen our branded game portfolio. These new games take Paddy Power Games to a landmark position of over 100 games.”
