CryptoLogic secures exclusive licence for ‘Jewel Quest®’
E-gaming software developer the first to introduce the popular treasure hunt
game in a play-for-real format
May 2, 2007 (Toronto, ON) – CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market, continues to bring the Internet’s most popular online casual games to the world’s most popular Internet casinos. The company announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, has secured an agreement for the exclusive rights to develop the first-ever slot version of Jewel Quest®, an award-winning, hugely popular and visually stunning puzzle-match game by iWin, Inc.
Jewel Quest is the third and latest in CryptoLogic’s casual games series, which includes slot adaptations of wildly popular online games such as BejeweledTM and CubisTM. Players can join the fast-paced treasure hunt on CryptoLogic-powered Internet casinos as of June 2007.
“CryptoLogic continues to pioneer play-for-real casino versions of wildly popular Internet games such as Bejeweled and Cubis — and we’re confident that we have a new ‘jewel’ in our crown,” said Javaid Aziz, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “Jewel Quest’s exciting bonus rounds, ever-changing layers and spectacular visuals are certain to engage players everywhere. Based on the popularity of CryptoLogic’s casual game series, it’s clear we’ve enhanced entertainment for players — and enhanced business for our customers. The addition of Jewel Quest to our award-winning casino line up is further proof that CryptoLogic is leading the way with some of the Internet’s most exciting and innovative entertainment concepts.”
Listed as one of the top three grossing online casual games, Jewel Quest is widely played on major portals such as MSN.com, Yahoo! and AOL. It has been downloaded more than 40 million times since its debut in 2004. In a unique twist on the classic matching game, players can explore the ancient Mayan civilization and join a hunt for hidden treasures, jeweled skulls, gold coins, masks, statues and diamonds. When they match consecutive artifacts, the tiles underneath them turn to gold. Once all of the tiles have been transformed, players can unlock a bonus prize and move onto the next of five levels of play. With wagers starting at £1, players can win up to 2,000 times their bet.
“With another exciting product in our steady stream of casino innovations, CryptoLogic continues to break new ground in the Internet casino market — increasing player loyalty and delivering success for our licensees,” added A.J. Slivinski, WagerLogic’s Managing Director.
