The announcement from leading online casino software developer, Cryptologic, that it will soon be releasing four new games has been welcomed by online players.

The Greek mythology themed Battle for Olympus is the first game to be released and offers players 50 pay-lines and a bonus game on the second screen. Players are required to make a choice between two Greek gods from Zeus and Hades in this slot game. Should the combination be made with the help of a wild symbol then the maximum line payout of 2,000 coins gets tripled to 6,000 coins.

Horns & Halos, a comical themed slot game, is the next new online video slot to be released by Cryptologic. Three of the six reels on the game are Hell and three are Heaven and players get to chose which set to play on. This 15 pay-line slot game offers players a top prize of 1,000 coins.

After a long delay in releasing a new online slot game, Cryptologic, the popular software provider, has released the fifth slot game in the branded DC Comics super hero series, titled The Flash Velocity online slot game.

The Flash is in possession of the super power of speed and the slot game has incorporated this in various aspects of the game with the Speedster Wilds featuring The Flash rushing across the reels and changing symbols to wilds indiscriminately.

The online gaming software group, Cryptologic, said this week that it is ready to consider a sale of the group – either in part or as a whole. Cryptologic will work together with Deloitte Corporate Finance to create a strategic review of the business, following staggering losses of €14 million in 2010. According to Cryptologic, the review “will consider a number of strategic options, including the possibility of an offer being made for the company or a disposal of part of the business.”

Virgin Casino has released yet another slot game developed by Ash Gaming. The new game has a 1920s mafia theme and is titled Gin Joint. It offers symbols on the reels that include mob bosses, henchmen, machine guns, brass knuckles, detectives and getaway cars.

InterCasino, the popular Cryptologic powered online casino, is turning 15 and will be celebrating its 15th anniversary with lots of festivity that is expected to continue for quite some time and which will commence with a fabulous promotion titled “15 Years of Jackpots”.

The casino has paid out almost $15 billion since January 1996 which shows that it is not only one of the oldest and most trusted casinos but also the most rewarding casino.

A recent big win at InterCasino proves that online scratch ticket games, although not sounding like serious gambling, has proved otherwise.

One lucky player recently hit a €100,000 jackpot via InterCasino’s new scratch card game “Money Farm” by merely buying a scratch ticket and then scratching off the squares to see if it was a winner. The games are similar to a paper lottery although these are virtual cards and can be purchased at any time whatsoever.

This lucky winner was one of thousands of players to receive a big jackpot just in time for Christmas at the popular casino.

Two new slot games and one variant of blackjack have recently been released at Cryptologic powered VIP Casino.

Sushi Express with its Japanese theme appears to be the favorite of the new games and features reels that are set in the background of a Japanese restaurant. Players will find interesting animations such as Tako the octopus as the chef seen preparing the food ordered by the customers. Orders, that include fish, soya sauce, sushi, crab and prawn, are sent to the customers along a conveyor below the reels.

VIP Casino chooses two casino games from its portfolio every month, one being an online slot game, on which it hosts online tournaments. This month, however, the format has changed and VIP Casino has chosen two card games for the online tournaments. In the past the players were not required to pay any fee for participating as these tournaments were usually freerolls. However, a small fee will be levied this month.
