"CryptoLogic's exclusive partnership with GigaMedia clearly demonstrates the international appeal of our highly successful casino software - a strength on which we will continue to focus and build moving forward."
GigaMedia develops and licenses some of the most successful and popular multi-lingual online entertainment offerings on the internet, including Everest Poker, one of the largest poker sites in the world.
"We are committed to delivering players the best online entertainment," said Bob Cahill, Chief Executive Officer of GigaMedia's gaming software division. "And this exciting lineup from CryptoLogic featuring world famous action heroes can help us do just that."
With more than 200 games, CryptoLogic has one of the most comprehensive casino suites on the Internet today. CryptoLogic has earned rave reviews from industry peers and players alike, and in 2008 earned Gambling Online Magazine's Top Casino Software award for the third consecutive year.
