Cryptologic was created by Andrew and Mark Rivkin in the basement of their parents’ house in 1995. Since then, the software’s popularity has grown in leaps and bounds and CryptoLogic Inc. (the company that was founded by the brothers) is now one of the best known and loved casino software developing companies in the world. Although the brothers started the company in Toronto, it is now based in Dublin, Ireland and according to a recent survey is among the top five companies in the industry along with Playtech, Real Time Gaming, Microgaming and Boss Media.

The company has a number of subsidiaries that handle different aspects of the software, for example, WagerLogic handles all the licensing and support services, ECash handles its payment processing and so on. Since they are a public listed company (on the Toronto Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ) and the fact that they are answerable to their shareholders make CryptoLogic a much more efficient company with very high standards. Through the years, this company has effectively maintained these standards and also built a reputation in the online casino industry for being both accountable and trustworthy. These are very important traits for a company that is looking to maintain its position in a highly competitive industry.

Since they have been in the industry for so many years, many people refer to CryptoLogic as the grandfather of the casino gaming industry.  CryptoLogic has gained much insight into the player needs as well as the requirements of the casinos. Using this knowledge, and excellent animation, graphics and sounds, CryptoLogic has developed hundreds of interesting and exciting casino games that have been popular with players and casinos alike. Most games have rules that are based on the rules adopted at Atlantic City rather than the more popular Vegas style of play. CryptoLogic is known for their unusual games that are not available in many other online casinos like the Marvel Slot games which are a result of a tie-up with Marvel Comics.

All CryptoLogic Casinos have a special Safe Cracker game that is available to all its players. Once a day, every player can take a shot at guessing the right combination of 9 numbers that will open a safe. If the player manages to crack the code, he/she is automatically rewarded a whopping $100,000. This is a feature that is completely unique to CryptoLogic Casinos.

Once you open an account at any CryptoLogic Casino, you will receive a mail that contains a PIN number as well as an account number. This information should be stored carefully as it will be required when withdrawing money from the casino as well as using the customer-care at any CryptoLogic Casinos. One thing that is quite remarkable about CryptoLogic’s payout system is that unlike most other casino software that usually puts your money into a queue before they are willing to let your withdraw any of it (in an attempt to tempt you to use that money to play more casino games), CryptoLogic’s cash out system works instantaneously.

The name CryptoLogic is automatically associated with innovative features and exciting games. These aspects make for a complete package that appeals to both casino operators and players alike.
