December 1, 2003 (London, UK) - CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer
to the Internet gaming and e-commerce industries, announced today that
Littlewoods Gaming - a trusted name in UK gaming for 80 years - debuted its new
poker room at www.littlewoodspoker.com powered by WagerLogic Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CryptoLogic.   Littlewoods Gaming customers can now
instantly enjoy live person-to-person poker excitement, one of the world's
favorite card games with real players from around the globe.



"Real-money poker on the Internet is a big growth market - and for CryptoLogic,
it's a great opportunity to increase our market leadership with a major
land-based international operator," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and

the premier casinos on the Internet.  And by leveraging its trusted reputation,
its extensive customer base and now also our leading poker technology, we expect

software, some of the most prominent online and land-based gaming operations in
the world are experiencing exciting growth in their online businesses driven by
this large, emerging game segment that attracts a strong online community of
loyal players.

gaming experience," said Phil Kissane, Head of Casino, Littlewoods Gaming.  "
CryptoLogic's proven poker solution will allow Littlewoods Gaming to increase
player loyalty with a broader portfolio of games and expand into a new
high-growth market.  Our customers can get a game at any time, challenging
hundreds of real money players around the world in fun poker play."
