CryptoLogic Launches Online Poker and Blackjack Hybrid Game

CryptoLogic, a software developer to the online gaming industry, has today unveiled Hold'Em Blackjack, a brand new game which reportedly combines the simplicity of blackjack with the intensity of poker.

Hold'Em Blackjack was created exclusively for licensees of WagerLogic Limited, CryptoLogic's licensing subsidiary, by Andy Goetsch, CryptoLogic's VP of Poker Software Development and a world-class poker player in his own right. Goetsch and his team claim they have breathed new life into the traditional game of 21 by giving players the betting and bluffing excitement of Texas Hold'Em poker along with the straightforward play of casino blackjack.

'Hold'Em Blackjack is just the latest example of CryptoLogic's unique brand of innovation and intelligence, which consistently wins the heart of the online player,' said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's president and CEO. 'For CryptoLogic, it's a simple yet exciting concept, powerfully executed. For players, it's a whole new entertainment experience.”

'Hold'em Blackjack pits players against each other, rather than the House, taking blackjack to a whole new level,' explains Goetsch. 'Because blackjack is a familiar game to play, the learning curve for Hold'em Blackjack is very fast. After just a couple of hands almost anyone can be an expert.'
