Marvel's Sub-Mariner Headlines CryptoLogic's Newest Casino Game Pack
E-gaming leader's newest line-up delivers more action, more entertainment-and more chances to win
10th July 2008
DUBLIN, IRELAND - Underwater adventure and intense blackjack action await online players with the introduction of the latest game pack from CryptoLogic Limited, a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market. CryptoLogic's newest game pack features famed Marvel Super Hero Sub-Mariner and 4 Deck Multi Hand Video Blackjack, a patent-pending product developed exclusively by CryptoLogic.
Available today, these new games are offered through InterCasino (www.intercasino.com).
"At CryptoLogic, we know there are two critical elements to online gaming success: give players a compelling experience with a game or character they know, or design a fresh take on a familiar concept," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "Our relationship with Marvel has enabled us to create and deliver some of the most memorable online slots today with some of the world's most recognized characters. Coupled with our patent-pending gaming innovations, CryptoLogic has aggressively positioned itself as a leader in this highly competitive space."
Sub-Mariner, one of the first Marvel Comics legends, makes his Internet casino debut with an action-packed 25 payline online slot game, joining other popular characters, including Spider-Man, The Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man and The X-Men. Watch as the game screen is flooded, leaving Sub-Mariner to swim through each level of reels. Sink submarines and destroy battleships to save the underwater world of Atlantis during rewarding and visually-stunning interactive bonus rounds for a chance to win 5000 times your line bet - all for as little as one cent!
Fans of blackjack are in for a real treat with the launch of the latest installment of CryptoLogic's proprietary Multi Hand Video Blackjack game: 4 Deck Multi Hand Video Blackjack. An incredible new twist enables players to play up to five hands at a time, against up to 50 dealer hands. With a single strong hand, you can beat the dealer up to 50 times in one round! Player friendly rules, including four decks per shoe, dealer standing on 17 and a tutorial feature, make this game a breeze - even for first-time players.
"Our innovative games make players want to come back for more, time and time again - making CryptoLogic the software of choice for players and licensees alike," said Justin Thouin, CryptoLogic's Vice President, Product Management and Business Development.
CryptoLogic has one of the most comprehensive casino gaming suites on the Internet. With more than 270 games available, including fan favourites Bejeweled®, Cubis®, Jewel Quest® and games featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes, the company has introduced some of the most popular games available on the Internet today.

Stan Lee's Iron Man longevity, by Scott Podmore - Sunday Mail - 18th October 2008
Stan Lee, one of the creative geniuses behind Marvel Comics, has been thrilling his superhero-loving readers for almost 70 years, says.
Stan Lee's charisma walks into the room as briskly as his ageing, yet strong, frame.
"I'm good at anything except facts," he says, arms outstretched.
It's enough to calm the nerves of an Australian journalist introducing himself to the maker of his childhood comic-book superheroes.
"Loved your cameo in the Iron Man film, Mr Lee," I offer.
"Ah, yes, thank you. It (the cameo) made the movie, you know," he says, a glint in his eye.
Forget top-line actors and directors; this is Stan Lee, 84, creative force behind such historic Marvel comic-book heroes as Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Fantastic Four. Just for a moment, guess how many children have opened their minds and hearts to these worlds he helped co-create in the past 50 years and you may begin to appreciate the magnitude of his influence.
Despite his age, Lee makes no secret of his youthful zeal to continue moving forward. He is owner of a new company, POW! Entertainment – driving new and exciting projects – and emeritus chairman of Marvel Media.
Most recently it was Iron Man, one of his "lesser known" superheroes, who was triumphantly brought to life on the big screen and which was released last week on DVD and Blu-ray. Another recent film version of one of his characters, The Incredible Hulk, also hits these formats this month.
As is the case with most of the films featuring Marvel superheroes he helped co-create, Lee is becoming as popular for his cameo appearances as he is for his part in creating the superheroes.
In Iron Man, Lee briefly appears as Hugh Hefner, fussed over by three young blondes on the red carpet as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) swings past and says "hello". He was the hot dog vendor in X-Men, the man who drank the contaminated soft drink in The Incredible Hulk, Willie Lumpkin in Fantastic Four and the man at the fair in Spider-Man.
"I really love them all. I was disappointed with Iron Man because I had a line, but they cut it out," he says, with a hint of sarcasm. "Standing there with my arm around three attractive blondes was none-too-unpleasant. Originally, Tony Stark was meant to come up and tap me on the shoulder and say something like, `Sorry, I thought you were Hugh Hefner', and I was meant to say, `Oh, that's OK, I get that all the time'.
"But the movie came out and they had cut the line. Either the movie went too long or he might have thought the scene would get too big a laugh and steal the show.
"The funny thing about it was when I turned around to say something to Robert (Downey Jr), I had my pipe in my mouth and I hit one of the girls right in the face. So we had to do another take. It was fun."
Speaking of fun, Lee can't hide his smile when discussing his co-creations currently sparkling in Hollywood and across the world.
Audiences in their droves are embracing the superhero-blockbuster film genre, though Lee didn't always see it coming.
"Well, not all those years ago, anyway," he says. "After Superman came out and then the success of Batman and Spider-Man, we realised we were on to something.
"It's not so much that these stories are about superheroes as it is about the fact they're different.
"They're not what you would see in an average everyday movie – not your usual gangster movie, cops 'n' robbers, western or romance. The public loves anything different, providing it's well made, of course, and you never quite know what to expect. It's that element of excitement, of `What am I going to see?', and now with the special effects you can see men flying and people walking through walls, bursting into flames."
However, in the beginning, it wasn't easy bringing Marvel and its legion of comic-book characters to the table for mainstream entertainment media. Lee had to bang down doors and persist.
"We had a funny experience," he says, after a deep breath.
"The previous management of Marvel didn't want to do movies or TV. I had arranged for a network to meet about a TV series we had planned on a character we called the Black Widow, and in those days Bo Derek was a big star and we had her lined up.
"The network was excited, but the person running Marvel said, `No, I don't want to do it'. I asked why and they said, `If the series doesn't do well, it will hurt our character'.
"I couldn't understand that kind of logic because if you looked at it that way you would never do anything.
"So, we had the same trouble with the idea for Daredevil. I gave up at that point. Luckily, we had new management later on and they realised the value of TV and movies, especially movies. We were off and running."
Surprisingly, his most famous creation, Spider-Man, almost never saw a comics stand. But Lee continually challenged conformity and backed his own ideas until he emerged.
While writing for Marvel he pitched the Spider-Man concept to his publisher, only to be told it was "the worst idea he had ever heard".
"From his point of view, he was right because I wanted Spider-Man to be a teenager who had a million problems and my publisher said, `First of all, Stan, people hate spiders. And he can't be a teenager because teenagers can only be sidekicks, not heroes'," he says. "But it just happened that I found the right artist and apparently we handled it the right way and it caught on. Whether it's a superhero movie or a romance, the most important thing is you have to care about the characters. You have to understand the characters and you have to be interested in them."
So how has the comic-book guru managed to continually reinvent, while remaining faithful to his characters? "That's a tough one, because if I give away too much information, all our competitors will swoop," he says, laughing. "There's no secret; just do your best.
"You create a character and you know your character, and the story works, but the problem comes when you have to do the next story because it's a series. You've got to make it different from the first one – so people don't think they're reading the same thing over and over. Yet you've got to keep it true to the first one in that you have to keep the character in character. It's a balancing act you play.
"I don't know that there's a formula.
"You've just got to really think it out all the time. And I know that's why I don't have a bigger head of hair as I used to. When I had to do Spider-Man, the Hulk and the X-Men – and I had to do a new one every month – the problem was, `How do I make each one different yet the same?' If you're lucky and you think it out, the story comes.
"If not, you bang your head against a wall." Not only has Lee brought us diverse characters, he also pioneered the shared universe: the first time superheroes interacted in other stories, something being adopted in the big-budget movies today. Marvel Studios teased us in Iron Man when Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury, Marvel's agent of Shield, appears briefly at the end. "Well, it seems the most natural thing if you have superheroes who exist in the same world and you're doing movies on them," he explains.
"The most difficult thing is some of the characters at Marvel are under contract at different studios.
Spider-Man at Sony, Iron Man at Paramount and so forth. So they've got to take characters they can control, so to speak.
"In the comics it happened accidentally. I had written every story separately, but then it occurred to me that if they all live in New York, why couldn't they meet? So it became fun to get them in the one story and that's how it happened."
Iron Man is out now on DVD and Blu-ray. The Incredible Hulk DVD and Blu-ray are released on Thursday.

New Marvel Online Casino Slots From Cryptologic, by Devon Chappell
10th December 2007
Cryptologic is gearing up for another new casino game release, and this time around it's none other than the wildly popular Spider Man and the Fantastic Four. The online casino and poker room software developer published a preliminary press release announcing the developmental progress of the new games, which they promise to be the most advanced of their ever increasing lot of Marvel series video slots.
After getting their exclusive license renewed with Marvel Comics, it seems like Cryptologic and their software developer subsidiary, Wagerlogic, have been on a non-stop quest to turn every Marvel superhero into a slot machine. Now with over ten different slots, including Thor, X-Men, Daredevil, The Hulk, Blade, Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Iron Man and Elektra, the addition of The Fantastic Four and Spider Man certainly makes Cryptologic's lineup of Marvel slots an impressive one.
The release of Spider Man could not have been better timed considering just how popular this superhero has become over the years. The last Spiderman movie alone grossed over $336 million on the big screens, which doesn't even count the tremendous amount of DVD, video game and merchandise sales still going strong. There is no doubt that online casino gamblers will be tempted to give the Spider Man slot a spin simply because of the novelty and entertainment value. Such was the case when the X-Men slots and The Hulk came out, both of whom enjoyed considerable success at the box offices as well.
An exact release date has not been given just yet, but Cryptologic says it is right around the corner. According to the recent press release, the new games will incorporate a story-line into the gambling action, other wise known as interactive slots. Considering the sharp graphics of Cryptologic's current online casino platform, the new games should be a treat for both the players and fans of Spider Man and the Fantastic Four.

Since there introduction in 2005 and new additions (Thor and Silver Surfer) in 2006, this range of Marvel Slot Games have proved immensely popular with online slots players. This may well be in part to recent box office hit movies featuring famous Marvel characters such as the Hulk, the 3 X-Men movies, DareDevil and Electra. Due to the movies the characters of some these marvel slots are already household names.
Plus there's no doubt some very interesting comic characters that you may just be discovering now for the first time such as the Silver Surfer.
Each Marvel slot game (not including the Hulk Fruit Machine) boasts 3 progressive jackpots. All of these jackpots payout on average every few hours. Also, you don't even need to hit a winning combination. The jackpots are paid out randomly on any spin. So the more you bet and play the more chance you have to win a jackpot.
The 3 progressive Jackpots are:
Marvel Jackpot: Which starts at: $5000.00
Super Hero Jackpot: Which starts at: $500.00
Hero Jackpot: Which starts at: $50.00
All the games can be played for free and its quite rare to be able to play free progressives slots. Obviously any money you do win will only be free play money.
It's also a testament to the quality and trust of the Cryptologic software and the casinos that use them that Marvel have chosen to work with Cryptologic and allowed them to create these games using the famous Marvel brand and characters.
In 2005 when the first of the Marvel slots were released was the same year that Cryptologic were awarded 'Best Online Casino Software' and these new games undoubtedly helped them win that award.

CryptoLogic Announces Q3 Results, Executes New Strategy for Growth
DUBLIN, IRELAND, Nov 13, 2008 - ALL FINANCIAL FIGURES ARE IN US$
CryptoLogic Limited, a world leader in Internet gaming software, today reported its financial results for the three months ending September 30, 2008. The company posted revenue of $14.0 million and a net loss of $5.9 million, including a foreign exchange loss of $4.2 million. CryptoLogic also projected a favourable outlook for 2009 following significant new customer wins and yesterday's announcement of a new strategic poker partnership with GTECH Corporation that will help reduce operating expenses and increase profitability.
By partnering with GTECH's International Poker Network in 2009, CryptoLogic will give its licensees and players access to a larger network, while helping to reduce annual operating expenses by $12-15 million. This move is part of CryptoLogic's strategy to achieve revenue growth and profitability by focusing exclusively on its very popular branded games and its Internet casino business. The shift will enable the company to build on its fast-growing list of major casino customers and its leadership in the branded gaming space.
"In a challenging year for our company and our industry, we recognize that we must do better - and that is why CryptoLogic is aggressively implementing its strategy to achieve profitability and growth in 2009," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "CryptoLogic's proven casino offering is attracting new customers more swiftly than ever before, and our branded games have earned the confidence of some of the world's biggest gaming operators. And we have already begun reducing our operating costs - a trend that will continue as we implement our new poker partnership."
As announced in September, the company also booked a significant foreign exchange loss in the quarter due to the rapid and unexpected appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the U.K. sterling and the euro, CryptoLogic has since moved substantially all of its cash and marketable securities into U.S. dollars to minimize the impact of further currency market volatility.
In light of the results, the company's board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per common share, a reduction from the previous level of $0.12. The continuing payment of a dividend, even in a challenging year, reflects the board's confidence in CryptoLogic's strategy to return to growth and profitability in 2009.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
New distribution channels
* CryptoLogic has found attractive and lucrative opportunities licensing some of its leading games to large global Internet gaming operators such as 888.com and the company's newest customer, PartyGaming. These agreements offer significant revenue potential for 2009 and beyond.
* Based on the success of the initial launch of CryptoLogic's games in early October, 888.com has ordered 10 more, bringing the total number of games to 13.
Internet casino: licensing & launches
* In August, CryptoLogic announced a three-year contract with the Gaming Media Group Limited, owner of The Poker Channel(R), Europe's largest dedicated gaming television network. CryptoLogic will develop an Internet casino using its award-winning casino software. The site will be available to players around the world - in five languages - later this year.
* CryptoLogic also announced a three-year casino licensing contract with Sky Betting & Gaming, part of BSkyB Group plc (BSkyB), the U.K.'s leading entertainment brand. A selection of CryptoLogic's top non-downloadable casino games will be available on SkyVegas.com by early 2009.
* Subsequent to quarter end, CryptoLogic launched a new site for Betjacks, one of the company's new European clients. The site went live on November 4, 2008.
* CryptoLogic announced an exclusive multi-year licensing contract with GigaMedia Limited, a major provider of online entertainment software and services. CryptoLogic will be the only external provider to offer casino software across the Everest Gaming platform - GigaMedia's highly popular gaming technology offering.
* Innovation and branded games
* CryptoLogic launched a new game pack featuring Sub-Mariner, another famed Marvel Super Hero, and 4 Deck Multi Hand Video Blackjack, a patent-pending product developed exclusively by CryptoLogic.
* Subsequent to the quarter end, CryptoLogic launched Bonus Pack 15, a new seven-game lineup featuring branded games based on Merian C. Cooper's King Kong and the popular Casinomeister portal, new European Blackjack and upgraded European Roulette software, and other innovations.
* On November 7, CryptoLogic announced an agreement with NextGen Gaming, the world's leading independent developer of slot games, under which the two companies will collaborate on both the development and the distribution of branded games.
New markets
* In August, CryptoLogic's investment in Mahjong Time showed its significant potential when the company signed a licensing agreement to gain access to 50 per cent of the Internet cafes in China.
* In early October, CryptoLogic announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Kurastica, an operator doing business in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The multi-year deal means Kurastica will begin offering CryptoLogic's award-winning Internet casino software through various channels in early 2009.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Total revenue: CryptoLogic's revenue for Q3 2008 was $14.0 million, a decrease of 16.4% from the second quarter and 19.7% when compared with the same period of 2007. The company's Internet casino revenue was slightly over $10.1 million, compared with $10.8 million in the second quarter. Poker revenue was $3.2 million, down from $3.6 million in Q2. The company attributes these decreases to a combination of reduced Internet gaming in the summer months and reduced marketing activity by one of its major licensees.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $50.2 million, a decrease of 5.9% when compared with the same period of 2007 (September 30, 2007: $53.3 million). However, after adjusting for certain non-recurring benefits recorded in the first nine months of both 2008 and 2007, revenue was essentially flat when compared to the same period of last year.
Expenses: Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $16.5 million, or 117.5% of revenue (Q3 2007: $11.8 million or 67.3% of revenue). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, operating expenses were $44.1 million or 87.9% of revenue (September 30, 2007: $36.7 million or 68.9% of revenue). Operating expenses increased primarily due to a $4.2 million loss on foreign exchange recorded during the quarter as the U.S. dollar appreciated by approximately 10% against both the U.K. pound and the euro during a period where the company had significant net asset positions in these currencies. CryptoLogic has since moved substantially all of its cash and marketable securities into U.S. dollars, the company's reporting currency, to minimize the reported impact of further currency market volatility. Operating expenses in Q3 2008 were favorably affected by reduced compensation costs, reduced costs recorded in connection with the company's long-term incentive plan, and e-cash processing fees.
Earnings and Earnings per Diluted Share: Due to the reduced revenue and higher expenses noted above, the company recorded a loss for the quarter of $5.9 million, or $0.45 per fully diluted share. The increased loss was due primarily to the $4.2 million loss on foreign exchange recorded during the period, as well as increased operating, general and administrative costs, and decreased interest income in Q3 2008. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.8 million, or $0.50 per fully diluted share.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow: CryptoLogic's working capital at September 30, 2008 was $52.9 million or $3.82 per diluted share (June 30, 2008: $63.3 million or $4.54 per diluted share.). Net cash (comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) was $48.7 million (June 30, 2008: $64.4 million). The decrease in working capital during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to purchases of capital assets, purchase of long term investments, primarily in Asia, shares repurchased under our normal course issuer bid and payments of dividends.
STRATEGIC UPDATE
On October 20, 2008, CryptoLogic announced a new strategy that features a change to its business model:
* Casino licensing: Internet casino is by far CryptoLogic's most profitable business, and the company expects significant revenue growth from this segment in 2009, thanks to the 10 new customers signed in 2008, and others to come. CryptoLogic will continue to sell customized casino solutions to both established and emerging gaming brands.
* New channels for CryptoLogic games: With the highest-rated casino games on the market, CryptoLogic has found attractive opportunities selling its leading games to other top brands, such as 888.com and PartyGaming. These and other large global gaming sites offer significant revenue potential for 2009 and beyond.
* Branded content: The company has been a pioneer in taking top entertainment brands - from legendary superheroes to world-famous video and casual games -- and converting them into highly popular and profitable casino products. CryptoLogic will focus and build on this expertise.
* Poker partnership: CryptoLogic is outsourcing its poker network to increase liquidity and profitability for customers, while reducing the company's own expenses substantially. - New markets: The company will continue to develop its business and manage its recent investments and new relationships in China, Korea, Russia and Singapore to achieve long-term growth.

CryptoLogic Limited, a world leader in Internet gaming software, today reported its financial results for the three months ending September 30, 2008. The company posted revenue of $14.0 million and a net loss of $5.9 million, including a foreign exchange loss of $4.2 million. CryptoLogic also projected a favourable outlook for 2009 following significant new customer wins and yesterday's announcement of a new strategic poker partnership with GTECH Corporation that will help reduce operating expenses and increase profitability.
By partnering with GTECH's International Poker Network in 2009, CryptoLogic will give its licensees and players access to a larger network, while helping to reduce annual operating expenses by $12-15 million. This move is part of CryptoLogic's strategy to achieve revenue growth and profitability by focusing exclusively on its very popular branded games and its Internet casino business. The shift will enable the company to build on its fast-growing list of major casino customers and its leadership in the branded gaming space.
"In a challenging year for our company and our industry, we recognize that we must do better - and that is why CryptoLogic is aggressively implementing its strategy to achieve profitability and growth in 2009," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "CryptoLogic's proven casino offering is attracting new customers more swiftly than ever before, and our branded games have earned the confidence of some of the world's biggest gaming operators. And we have already begun reducing our operating costs - a trend that will continue as we implement our new poker partnership."
As announced in September, the company also booked a significant foreign exchange loss in the quarter due to the rapid and unexpected appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the U.K. sterling and the euro, CryptoLogic has since moved substantially all of its cash and marketable securities into U.S. dollars to minimize the impact of further currency market volatility.
In light of the results, the company's board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per common share, a reduction from the previous level of $0.12. The continuing payment of a dividend, even in a challenging year, reflects the board's confidence in CryptoLogic's strategy to return to growth and profitability in 2009.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
New distribution channels
* CryptoLogic has found attractive and lucrative opportunities licensing some of its leading games to large global Internet gaming operators such as 888.com and the company's newest customer, PartyGaming. These agreements offer significant revenue potential for 2009 and beyond.
* Based on the success of the initial launch of CryptoLogic's games in early October, 888.com has ordered 10 more, bringing the total number of games to 13.
Internet casino: licensing & launches
* In August, CryptoLogic announced a three-year contract with the Gaming Media Group Limited, owner of The Poker Channel(R), Europe's largest dedicated gaming television network. CryptoLogic will develop an Internet casino using its award-winning casino software. The site will be available to players around the world - in five languages - later this year.
* CryptoLogic also announced a three-year casino licensing contract with Sky Betting & Gaming, part of BSkyB Group plc (BSkyB), the U.K.'s leading entertainment brand. A selection of CryptoLogic's top non-downloadable casino games will be available on SkyVegas.com by early 2009.
* Subsequent to quarter end, CryptoLogic launched a new site for Betjacks, one of the company's new European clients. The site went live on November 4, 2008.
* CryptoLogic announced an exclusive multi-year licensing contract with GigaMedia Limited, a major provider of online entertainment software and services. CryptoLogic will be the only external provider to offer casino software across the Everest Gaming platform - GigaMedia's highly popular gaming technology offering.
* Innovation and branded games
* CryptoLogic launched a new game pack featuring Sub-Mariner, another famed Marvel Super Hero, and 4 Deck Multi Hand Video Blackjack, a patent-pending product developed exclusively by CryptoLogic.
* Subsequent to the quarter end, CryptoLogic launched Bonus Pack 15, a new seven-game lineup featuring branded games based on Merian C. Cooper's King Kong and the popular Casinomeister portal, new European Blackjack and upgraded European Roulette software, and other innovations.
* On November 7, CryptoLogic announced an agreement with NextGen Gaming, the world's leading independent developer of slot games, under which the two companies will collaborate on both the development and the distribution of branded games.
New markets
* In August, CryptoLogic's investment in Mahjong Time showed its significant potential when the company signed a licensing agreement to gain access to 50 per cent of the Internet cafes in China.
* In early October, CryptoLogic announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Kurastica, an operator doing business in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The multi-year deal means Kurastica will begin offering CryptoLogic's award-winning Internet casino software through various channels in early 2009.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Total revenue: CryptoLogic's revenue for Q3 2008 was $14.0 million, a decrease of 16.4% from the second quarter and 19.7% when compared with the same period of 2007. The company's Internet casino revenue was slightly over $10.1 million, compared with $10.8 million in the second quarter. Poker revenue was $3.2 million, down from $3.6 million in Q2. The company attributes these decreases to a combination of reduced Internet gaming in the summer months and reduced marketing activity by one of its major licensees.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $50.2 million, a decrease of 5.9% when compared with the same period of 2007 (September 30, 2007: $53.3 million). However, after adjusting for certain non-recurring benefits recorded in the first nine months of both 2008 and 2007, revenue was essentially flat when compared to the same period of last year.
Expenses: Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $16.5 million, or 117.5% of revenue (Q3 2007: $11.8 million or 67.3% of revenue). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, operating expenses were $44.1 million or 87.9% of revenue (September 30, 2007: $36.7 million or 68.9% of revenue). Operating expenses increased primarily due to a $4.2 million loss on foreign exchange recorded during the quarter as the U.S. dollar appreciated by approximately 10% against both the U.K. pound and the euro during a period where the company had significant net asset positions in these currencies. CryptoLogic has since moved substantially all of its cash and marketable securities into U.S. dollars, the company's reporting currency, to minimize the reported impact of further currency market volatility. Operating expenses in Q3 2008 were favorably affected by reduced compensation costs, reduced costs recorded in connection with the company's long-term incentive plan, and e-cash processing fees.
Earnings and Earnings per Diluted Share: Due to the reduced revenue and higher expenses noted above, the company recorded a loss for the quarter of $5.9 million, or $0.45 per fully diluted share. The increased loss was due primarily to the $4.2 million loss on foreign exchange recorded during the period, as well as increased operating, general and administrative costs, and decreased interest income in Q3 2008. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.8 million, or $0.50 per fully diluted share.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow: CryptoLogic's working capital at September 30, 2008 was $52.9 million or $3.82 per diluted share (June 30, 2008: $63.3 million or $4.54 per diluted share.). Net cash (comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) was $48.7 million (June 30, 2008: $64.4 million). The decrease in working capital during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to purchases of capital assets, purchase of long term investments, primarily in Asia, shares repurchased under our normal course issuer bid and payments of dividends.

New CryptoLogic Casino Games are Frightfully Innovative
Latest casino games introduce Elektra, Ghost Rider and new Frightmare series to award-winning line-up
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jan 11, 2007 - CryptoLogic Inc, a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming industry, has developed 16 innovative new games that continue to deliver unlimited action, stunning animation and incredible jackpots - but this time with a frightening edge. Vampires, witches and warlocks will challenge Internet players as CryptoLogic's casino Bonus Pack 10, offered through its WagerLogic Limited subsidiary, introduces hair-raising Frightmare Jackpot Slots, and the latest slots based on Marvel Super Heroes, including Elektra, Ghost Rider and Iron Man. The game pack also includes the first-ever slot version of Cubis(R), the enormously popular casual game.
