TORONTO, June 13 /CNW/ - CryptoLogic Inc., a leading blue-chip e-gaming
software developer to the global Internet gaming market, today announced the

INVESTOR'S EDGE

On-line gambling software firm's on a hot streak, but you may want to sit out a hand

By JOHN HEINZL

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 Page B18

INVESTMENT REPORTER

CryptoLogic Inc. is cashing in on the on-line poker craze. But with the stock already up sharply, should investors be holding or folding?

Shares of CryptoLogic -- a Toronto-based provider of software to the on-line gambling industry -- have doubled in the past six months, propelled by solid quarterly results and the public's growing fascination with poker, both on the Internet and in televised tournaments such as the World Series of Poker.



With more than 200 poker sites worldwide generating annual revenue of about $2-billion (U.S.), there's a growing pot of cash at stake for CryptoLogic and others vying for a piece of the action.

"On-line poker is expected to be one of the primary growth drivers for CryptoLogic over the coming year," Paradigm Capital analyst Gabriel Leung said yesterday in initiating coverage of the company with a "buy" rating.

Rising broadband usage, increasing confidence in Internet security and the ease of gambling on-line compared with travelling to a casino all bode well for on-line poker, he said.

As well, the new U.K. Gambling Act will enable regulation of Internet gambling and "significantly boost the credibility of the . . . industry, as well as provide a regulatory blueprint for other nations" such as the United States, which lacks clear laws on on-line wagering.

CryptoLogic's software brings together players from different on-line casinos such William Hill, UK Betting and Ritz Club London into a virtual poker room where they face off against each other. The company's virtual card table ranks among the top five poker sites in revenue, although it remains well back of industry leader PartyPoker.com.

But with all the buzz about poker, "there's no end in sight," CryptoLogic president and chief executive officer Lewis Rose said in February, after the company announced that fourth-quarter revenue soared 33 per cent to $17.9-million and profit rose 25 per cent to $3.8-million or 27 cents a share.

"CryptoLogic saw the large untapped market opportunity of on-line poker and we leveraged our reputation for innovation and strong brand named licensees to establish a very significant position," he said. "This approach has paid off in spades."

Investors don't need any convincing. Yesterday, the shares gained 60 cents (Canadian) to close at $36.86 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, up 40 per cent in the past 12 months. On the Nasdaq Stock Market, they added 35 cents (U.S.) to $29.52.

With the stock already having a nice run, however, one analyst is advising investors to sit out this hand.

"They're one of the best vendors on the street for casino and poker software," Canaccord Capital analyst Greg Harris said of CryptoLogic. "The one thing that has happened, though, is that the Street has priced in very well the growth prospects that we see right now."

Mr. Harris has a 12-month target of $29 and rates the stock a "hold."

The shares could get a lift if CryptoLogic acquires one of the larger poker sites, said Mr. Leung, who has a 12-month target of $38 on the shares.

Acquiring a U.S. site, in particular, would benefit CryptoLogic by complementing its existing network of largely European players, he said.

Technology ; Paradigm Starts Cryptologic at 'Buy':
3 Hour,43 minutes Ago


[Technology News] TORONTO, Paradigm Capital Inc. said on Monday it would start coverage of Cryptologic Inc. with a "buy" rating and a $38 share price target, saying the company is primed to cash in on the burgeoning online gambling market.

Paradigm analyst Gabriel Leung said Cryptologic, which makes Internet gambling software, has a top-tier customer base, and is at the forefront of promoting regulation of online gambling.

Although U.S. legislative uncertainty surrounding online gambling is an overhang, positive developments, including the recently enacted UK Gambling Act, should give a big boost to the credibility of the online gambling industry, Leung said.

"We believe the company is well positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the online gambling market," Leung wrote in a note to clients.

Leung said he sees Cryptologic gaining market share and that it is a potential buyer in a consolidating industry.

Analysts consider the online gambling sector one of the success stories of the Internet.

Shares of Toronto-based Cryptologic have almost doubled in the last year as the company rakes in higher fees from its online poker licenses and growing demand for new slot and jackpot games in its core casino business.

Its shares were 33 cents, or 1.13 percent, higher at $29.50 on Monday morning on Nasdaq, and up 64 Canadian cents at C$36.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But in London, its shares closed down 3.6 percent as Britain's top share index hit a 12-week low.

And from Schaeffers


SchaeffersResearch.com is "Street Chatter." Every day, we'll focus on three newsworthy stocks that are generating a lot of attention on Internet message boards. We hope that this will effectively offer stock information, particularly on equities that are currently popular among those in the investing community.

Cryptologic

Cryptologic (CRYP: sentiment, chart, options) is a software and services provider to the worldwide Internet gaming market. The firm is responsible for the licensing of its gaming software and services to an international customer base. In addition to a product portfolio of more than 80 casino games, multi-player bingo and player-to-player poker, CRYP offers integrated e-cash management and customer care services in multiple currencies and multiple languages. The security is currently encountering resistance at the 33 level, while it clings to round-number support at the 30 level. Furthermore, the equity is resting on support at its ascending 10-week moving average, a trendline it has not closed a week below since the start of November.


Despite the equity's long-term uptrend, investors have grown quite skeptical of the shares. The stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio rests at 0.31. While that number appears to be rather small, it is actually higher than 91 percent of all those taken over the past 52 weeks. What's more, the number of CRYP shares sold short skyrocketed by 926 percent in March. However, this accumulation of bearish bets still accounts for only 1.24 percent of the stock's float and gives the security a short-interest ratio of just 0.31. Meanwhile, CRYP continues to hover below the Street's radar, as only one analyst currently following the firm. Any additional coverage could help to push the shares sharply higher.

The stock's stellar uptrend combined with some lingering skepticism in its sentiment has earned CRYP a Schaeffer's Equity Scorecard ranking of 8.0 out of 10.



Schaeffer's Investment Research's contrarian approach focuses on stocks with technical and fundamental trends that run counter to investor expectations. We call this Expectational Analysis.

Cryptologic welcomes new UK law to regulate online gaming
Friday April 8, 11:45 am ET
- ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN US$ Symbol: TSX: CRY; NASDAQ: CRYP; LSE: CRP


TORONTO, April 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market, today welcomed the passage of the revised Gambling Act 2005 in the United Kingdom, one of the company's premier markets. The Act received Royal Assent yesterday and will enable the regulation of Internet gaming for the first time in the UK.

This new law marks a key milestone for online gaming - and we welcome the decision of the UK government to shine the light on the industry to allow it to thrive in a regulated and licensed environment," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "CryptoLogic has long advocated a regulated online gaming market - for the protection of players and the integrity of the industry. We applaud the UK for taking the lead in establishing world-class standards for the safe, secure and responsible use of this form of entertainment."
Now that the Act has become law, there remains considerable work to be done to fully define the legislation. The next step is for the new Gambling Commission to be established. The rules and regulatory framework governing online gaming in the UK need to be clearly developed and finalized. The first applications are expected to be accepted in 2006, with licenses granted and the regulatory regime in full operation by 2007.

CryptoLogic, through its licensing subsidiary WagerLogic, counts among its customers an enviable list of major UK gaming brands, including William Hill, Betfair, The Ritz Club London, Littlewoods Gaming and ukbetting. The company's gaming software, senior management and directors have already passed the world's highest regulatory tests in "tier one" jurisdictions -- and CryptoLogic is one of the very few providers in the world to do so.
