The Board of CryptoLogic Limited ("CryptoLogic" or the "Company") (TSX: CRY)(TSX: CXY)(NASDAQ: CRYP)(LSE: CRP), a developer of branded online betting games and internet casino software, announces that it has appointed Deloitte Corporate Finance as financial adviser to assist it with a strategic review of the Company.

This review is at an early stage and will consider a number of strategic options, including the possibility of an offer being made for the Company or a disposal of part of the business. The Board wishes to stress that there can be no certainty that any offer will be forthcoming.

The Board will update shareholders as soon as it is appropriate to do so.

Pursuant to Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, CryptoLogic confirms that, as at the close of business on 24 March 2011, the issued share capital consisted of 12,907,120 common shares of no par value (the "Common Shares"), of which no shares are held in treasury. The ISIN reference number for these securities is GG00B1W7FC20. The Common Shares represent 93.4% of the entire voting rights of the Company. The remaining 6.6% are attributable to a Special Voting Share representing shares issued by CryptoLogic Exchange Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of CryptoLogic (the "CEC Shares"). The holders of CEC Shares have the same voting and dividend rights as the holders of Common Shares and can be exchanged for an equivalent number of Common Shares at any time. There are 911,931 CEC Shares of no par value, of which no shares are held in treasury. The ISIN reference number of the CEC Shares is CA2290581024.

Accordingly, the total number of shares carrying voting rights is 13,819,051.

Copies of CryptoLogic's recent announcements are available from the Company's website at www.cryptologic.com.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code")

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any paper offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a paper offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the information contained in this announcement. To the best of knowledge and belief of the Directors, who have taken all reasonable care to ensure such is the case, the information contained in this announcement is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

1320 Postings, 5340 Tage xnomisStocks To Watch If Nevada Legalizes Online Gaming

25.03.11 10:47
Today, Nevada will decide whether or not to allow online poker to become legal. This would be the first state to pass such a measure and could start a domino effect in other states. Currently, millions of people gamble online every day but through outside sources since it is illegal in the United States. Therefore the States and Federal Government are left flat when it comes to taxing these profits. It is said they are missing out on billions in revenue by lack of taxes. When almost all states are facing possible bankruptcy due to huge deficits, it is an obvious course of action to legalize it.

Small cap stocks that could benefit from this course of action will be CryptoLogic Limited (NASDAQ:CRYP) as well as PokerTek, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTEKD) and even possibly GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM).

Origionally, the large casinos like Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS) and Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) were against online gaming because they feared it would take massive business away from them. However, since it appears millions do it anyways, they are now realizing that they could get involved and profit from it as well. The key is to regulate it appropriately. If done correctly, not only could States get a boost of revenue from taxes, but also more profits to the casinos.  Watch for the vote later today in Nevada.

CryptoLogic Limited (TSX: CRY)(TSX: CXY)(NASDAQ: CRYP)(LSE: CRP), a developer of branded online betting games and Internet casino software, announces its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

Fourth Quarter Summary:

--  Additional restructuring, announced in August 2010 following management
   changes, completed in fourth quarter
--  Net loss reduced to $0.8 million from $12.7 million in Q2 2010, the last
   full quarter before additional restructuring measures

--  Recurring quarterly cost base lowered to $6.6 million from $12.9 million
   in Q2 2010
--  Total expenses down by 69% to $6.3 million (Q2 2010: $20.2 million)
--  Operating expenses decreased by 47% to $5.1 million (Q2 2010: $9.5
   million)
--  General and administrative expenses decreased by 59% to $1.1 million (Q2
   2010: $2.6 million)
--  Total revenue amounted to $5.5 million (Q2 2010: $6.7 million)

Full Year Summary:

--  Total revenue at $26.0 million (2009: $39.8 million)
--  Net loss of $20.4 million (2009: $35.5 million)
--  Cyprus and majority of UK operations consolidated into Malta, while all
   other locations reduced significantly
--  Signed several licensing deals for CryptoLogic games with 170 branded
   games now live (2009: 66)
--  Launched new gaming package, Instant Click


Outlook:

While the additional restructuring measures taken since August 2010 have significantly reduced the total recurring cost base and cash outflow, improving revenue performance remains a key management priority. In addition, the Board continues actively to examine strategic options both to strengthen the Company's operations and deliver shareholder value.

Overview

CryptoLogic was affected by continuing competitive trading conditions in 2010, contributing to disappointing results for the year. Following senior management changes in August 2010, additional restructuring measures were implemented to reduce the annual cost base and stabilise the business. The full impact of these actions, as expected, was felt in the fourth quarter with a significant reduction in the Company's cost base and cash outflow.

Total expenses for the quarter declined by 69% to $6.3 million from $20.2 million in Q2 2010, the last full quarter before the additional restructuring measures following management changes. Total expenses declined by 36% sequentially (Q3 2010: $9.9 million) and by 39% compared with the previous year. Cash outflow in Q4 2010 amounted to $1.2 million compared with $5.4 million in Q3 2010, $2.3 million in Q2 2010 and $4.7 million in Q4 2009.

Q4 2010 net loss declined to $0.8 million from $3.7 million in Q3 2010, $12.7 million in Q2 2010 and $24.8 million in Q4 2009.

The Company's workforce was reduced by 47% to 111 in 2010 from 211 in 2009 through a major streamlining of the Company's offices in all locations and the consolidation in Malta of the Cyprus operations and a majority of the UK operations. As a result, the recurring cost base has been decreased by 49% to $6.6 million per quarter, when compared with Q2 2010, the last full quarter prior to the recent restructuring.

Operating and Financial Review

Total revenues in Q4 2010 decreased to $5.5 million (Q3 2010: $6.1 million; Q2 2010: $6.7 million), primarily due to a lower contribution from a major licensee. Full year revenues declined to $26.0 million (2009: $39.8 million) reflecting the lower contribution from a major licensee and the impact of the loss of a key customer in 2009.

Hosted Casino

Revenue from fully hosted virtual casino rooms provided to online gaming brand operators was $4.9 million in Q4 2010 (Q3 2010: $5.6 million; Q2 2010: $5.8 million), reflecting a lower contribution from a major licensee.

Branded Games

Revenues from this segment remained flat at $1.4 million in Q4 2010 (Q3 2010: $1.4 million; Q2 2010 $1.5 million), as new licensees launched CryptoLogic's branded games at a slower pace than expected. CryptoLogic continues to work with its licensees to help them increase the frequency of games going live.

14 new branded games went live in the quarter taking the total number of games rolled out by licensees and generating revenues to date to 170 from 156 at the end of Q3.

Poker and Other

Poker and other revenue amounted to $0.4 million (Q3 2010: $0.4 million; Q2 2010: $0.6 million).

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2010 amounted to $10.6 million (September 30, 2010: $11.8 million; June 30, 2010: $17.2 million). The decrease in net cash during Q4 2010 of $1.2 million is largely due to the cash impact of operating losses of $0.8 million. The Company continues to be debt free.

Update on Commercial Agreements

Following receipt of notice of arbitration from a significant supplier of games, the Company served notice of termination of its agreement with the supplier in February 2011, to take effect from March 2011. Notwithstanding this termination, discussions are ongoing with the aim of reaching a commercially acceptable solution prior to the commencement of significant arbitration proceedings. In the absence of achieving such a solution, arbitration hearings are likely to proceed later in 2011.

In February 2011, a brand licensor delivered to the Company a notice purporting to terminate the brand license agreement between the two companies, claiming that the Company had breached such agreement. The Company believes there is no breach that warrants termination of the agreement and, accordingly, considers the agreement remains in force.

Nevada gaming regulators entered uncharted territory in cyberspace today.

The Nevada Gaming Commission approved the suitability of a relationship between Caesars Entertainment with subsidiaries of an Israel-based Internet gaming company operating in the United Kingdom’s overseas territory of Gibraltar.

The vote was unanimous with Commissioner Joe Brown abstaining because of a potential conflict of interest with his law firm.

Approval of the licensing is considered by many to be a major step for online gaming because in enabled industry regulators to formally acknowledge the ability of the government to oversee Internet casino play.

Commission Chairman Peter Bernhard said he was satisfied that the relationship between the two companies did not violate any state policies or regulations and that it was a suitable association.

By approving the licensing, regulators didn’t change anything for players in the United States. However, the approval does acknowledge that regulators have no problem with Caesars associating with a major Internet gaming company.

The five-member board approved Caesars’ relationship with Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Ltd. and Fordart Ltd., subsidiaries of Internet gaming giant 888 Holdings PLC, which offers online casino games, poker, bingo, sports wagering and social gaming applications in the United Kingdom, France and Italy.

The approval marked the second time a Nevada licensee was approved to have a relationship with an operator under the state’s foreign gaming statutes. In 2007, regulators approved what was then MGM Mirage to conduct business with Pansy Ho and her company in Macau.

Representatives of Caesars didn’t offer many details about what they plan to do with the new relationship with the 888 subsidiaries. However, Caesars owns the World Series of Poker brand and hopes to exploit it in European outlets. If Internet poker is legalized in the United States, Caesars figures to have hardware and software with a leading company in place.

Commissioners asked several questions of 888 officials to get assurances on protections against underage gambling, problem gambling and money laundering. Executives said they have a number of safeguards in place to assure that an Internet player is of legal age. Any accounts with suspicious activity could be shut down quickly by the company.

In other business, the commission approved the licensing of new companies and subsidiaries that will take ownership and operation of the bankrupt Riviera hotel-casino and an unusual licensing of a foreign manufacturer and distributor of roulette wheels.

The commission unanimously approved the licensing of financier Barry Sternlicht, the founder of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, to acquire control of Riviera Holdings Corp.

Sternlicht purchased the 2,075-room property out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Andy Choy, CEO of the Riviera’s new holding company, told commissioners that the company plans to inject $20 million into upgrading the Riviera’s public areas and focus on customer service in gaming to attract players.

“We’re not going to have a lot of high-end amenities and restaurants, we just want to offer a superior gaming environment,” Choy said.

Choy said the operators plan to capitalize on the Riviera’s status as a classic Las Vegas icon. He noted that with the closure of the Sahara in May, the Riviera will be one of the last “old Las Vegas” properties operating.

The company plans no new room capacity and will rehire the property’s staff. A marketing campaign using social media is planned.

“The property is in better shape than I anticipated,” said new general manager Bobby Ray Harris. “All of the rooms are in pretty good shape.”

The commission also approved a manufacturing and distribution license for Kent, England-based Cammegh Ltd., a roulette wheel manufacturer, to operate in Nevada.

LAS VEGAS, March 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN - News) announced today that it has entered into a strategic relationship with PokerStars, the world's largest online poker business.

The companies will first work to secure the passage of federal legislation that will finally and conclusively define illegal internet gambling, provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to stop illegal internet gambling, protect consumers by establishing a robust regulatory environment for the safe operation of online poker by experienced operators, and establish a regime for the assessment and collection of taxes.

Upon passage of this legislation and acquisition of the appropriate license, the parties will jointly operate a regulated, US online poker site under PokerStarsWynn.com.

"After much study, we are convinced that the lack of regulation of internet gaming within the US must change. We must recognize that this activity is occurring and that law enforcement does not have the tools to stop it. As a company that has safely conducted gaming in the US for more than 40 years, we believe that the same can be done for poker on the internet," commented Stephen A. Wynn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wynn. "Additionally, it is time that the thousands of jobs created by this business and the potentially significant tax dollars come home to the US," Mr. Wynn continued.

Mark Scheinberg, Chairman and Founder of PokerStars, commented, "We have long supported the enactment of local regulatory regimes that protect consumers and provide valuable tax revenues and jobs. PokerStars is closely regulated in many European countries and it has been endorsing the adoption of the same approach in the United States for years, with this alliance representing a critical step in that direction. We are excited about the opportunities that partnering with Wynn, a pioneering leader and innovator in gaming, will present for PokerStars in the United States These opportunities include the rapid ramp up in hiring of a large numbers of professionals in this growing global technology and services sector that will benefit from US talent to keep up with global demand."
