Cryptologic has
announced that three more of its most popular online
casino games are now available at 888 (CasinoOnNet).
With the first half of a 36-month licensing deal
complete, the two online gaming giants agreed it was
night time they should collaborate even further, upping
the total licensing deal to thirteen online casino
games.
The latest game
additions include two of the Marvel Superhero slots
series - Fantastic Four and Spider-Man - as well as the
enormously popular "Bejeweled", which is based on the
computer puzzle game by the same name. Of course, both
parties are happy about the deal. Cryptologic benefits
from the fact that 888 is one of the largest online
casinos on the Web, while 888's members get to
experience some of the hottest casino games and graphics
available.
Unfortunately, one
of the reasons why 888 and Cryptologic have been able to
work together is because of the fact that neither
company accepts U.S. players. The unique part of the
relationship (although not entirely unique) is that
Cryptologic does not exclusively power CasinoOnNet. 888
uses several software platforms, including it's own. I
suppose you could call it a proprietary blend of online
casino software.
Here at OCS, we're not a big fan of this type of setup, which
is why we don't list 888 as one of our top-reviewed
best online casinos. Indeed, 888 holds several excellent
credentials and are a very large site committed to
offering great customer service. But they have gotten
too large in our opinion. Also, we don't agree with how
they manage their welcome bonus. Advertising it as a
100% bonus up to $200 free, but in reality, only
offering $25 up front until players have accumulated a
certain amount of comp points (on top of a 20x
play-through requirement).
Of course, it's
entirely up to the players. 888 may be fine for newbie,
non-U.S. players. Cryptologic powered online casinos
most certainly are. And now, anybody with a penchant for
888, "Bejeweled" or Marvel Superhero video slots can
have their cake and eat it too.
