CryptoLogic Launched Progressive Jackpot Portal.

Gaming software provider Cryptologic has just launched the web site JackpotMania.com. The site is a cross-casino portal that will connect 12 major online gaming brands to progressive jackpots around the world.

Progressive games, which are characterized by jackpots that grow as more people play, are becoming increasingly popular with online casino gamblers.

Jean Noelting, president and CEO of CryptoLogic, explained the strategy behind the new site. ''With Internet gaming expanding so quickly, the competitive edge will belong to operators with big names, big jackpots and trusted technology.

At Jackpot Mania, CryptoLogic is opening the door to the biggest potential jackpots in online gaming. These progressive jackpots - which can be won by anyone, anywhere in the world - will be a huge marketing draw for the brand-name casinos that have chosen CryptoLogic's safe, secure e-gaming technology. And what's good for our licensees is good for our business.''

There have been a number of large progressive jackpot wins in recent months. A record-setting jackpot of $235,000 has been won at The Sands Of The Caribbean online casino. CryptoLogic is expecting that the new site will attract considerably more players to partner casinos, resulting in larger, faster-growing jackpots.

Jackpot Mania offers players a single destination with 6 new progressive slots, video poker and Caribbean poker games. The site brings together some of the well-known gaming brands, including InterCasino, William Hill Casino, The Sands, Kiwi Casino, Casino 8 Online, Casino eBet, Omni Casino and VIP Casino.

The progressive jackpot games feature $0.25 and $1.00 Triple Olives slots and Super Jackpot video poker, as well as a tabletop progressive counter on Caribbean poker tables with a starting value of $100,000. CryptoLogic also recently released a new $1.00 slot called Rags to Riches, with a starting value of $100,000.

Jackpot Mania runs real-time tallies displaying each growing jackpot as games are played simultaneously across these online casinos. Players can access this information through the JackpotMania site or through CryptoLogic licensees. The JackpotMania web site will feature winner information, links to CryptoLogic-licensee contests and special offers, e-mail notification to alert players when jackpots reach high levels, and an affiliate program.
