DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwire - Sept. 28, 2009) - CryptoLogic Limited(TSX:CRY)(TSX:CXY)(NASDAQ:CRYP)(LSE:CRP) today consolidated its position as a leading global developer of branded online betting games and Internet casino software by signing a multi-year licensing deal with Virgin Games, part of the Virgin Group.

The agreement enables Virgin Games to provide at least 10 of CryptoLogic's top branded and non-branded online slot games to its customers. The games include comic book classics and innovative casual slots, with some games linked into the CryptoLogic jackpot network.
