Holland Casino will operate the official online casino of the Dutch government
in the Netherlands. The online casino will make its debut in June of 2007.
CryptoLogic Inc., one of the top online casino software providers, has just
solidified a three-year contract with the Dutch government to be the sole online
casino software provider for Holland Casino. The online casino will only be
available to residents of the Netherlands. CryptoLogic President and CEO,
Lewis Rose, was in high spirits at the Amsterdam signing of the online casino
contract. “At CryptoLogic, we’re focused on strengthening our competitive
advantage in Europe, and our new relationship with Holland Casino achieves this,
in spades,” beamed Lewis. “By adding a government controlled casino operator to
our blue-chip roster of customers, we have an excellent template for other
governments interested in realizing the benefits of safe, secure and regulated
Internet gambling.”
CryptoLogic’s commitment to working with blue-chip online casino operators is
present in this current agreement, made through their wholly-owned subsidiary
WagerLogic Limited. Certain ratifications may apply to the agreement, including
those set forth by the Dutch government Supervisory Board.
This marks Holland Casino’s first online casino. Established in the
Netherlands in 1976, Holland Casino now operates 14 land-based casinos all
across the Netherlands in addition to their new online casino. Zandvoort,
Valkenburg, Scheveningen are among the more popular tourist resort locations of
its casinos. Holland Casino has taken on such bold expansions as their
city-center casinos in Groningen, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Rotterdam, and Breda.
Holland Casino Vice President of Business Development, Ron Goudsmit, also
seemed pleased by the prospect of this new online casino endeavor. “As we take
Holland Casino online, we needed a quality partner who could support us with
innovation and integrity - and CryptoLogic exceeds our expectations,” said
Goudsmit. “We’re excited to develop and launch our online casino site, which
includes a comprehensive responsible gaming program, with a respected provider
who can deliver a unique experience to our customers.”
CryptoLogic develops online casino software for many top online casinos,
including: InterCasino, William Hill, InterPoker, Playboy Gaming, UKBetting,
Littlewoods Gaming, DTD Poker, BetSafe, ParBet Poker and Extreme Poker. Holland
Casino is just its latest online casino project.
Since 2004, CryptoLogic has produced nearly 100 online casino games. Among
their more innovative products is Hold’Em Blackjack, an inventive marriage of
blackjack and poker. Online casino fans love the game. An online casino slot
version of Cubis, the internationally loved 3D puzzle game, is exclusive to the
CryptoLogic name.
CryptoLogic, for two years running, has walked away with Gambling Online
Magazine’s Top Casino Software Award.
