If you thought that the last quarter of 2009 was a bumper period for new game releases, you'll be even more impressed with the wide range of new offerings that online gambling software developers have pushed out since February this year.

Virgin Games is one of the first online casinos this week to carry online gambling software provider Cryptologic's latest Marvel comics-inspired Thor Jackpot Slot. The 5 reel, 9 pay-line game has a Nordic mythology theme centreing on the god of thunder, Thor, depicted through dynamic animation and artwork.

Online gambling software developer CryptoLogic has signed a three-year agreement to license at least nine of its most popular online betting games to Betsson Malta Ltd (Betsson), a leading European e-gaming operator that is publicly listed on the Stockholm exchange.

Online gambling software developer Cryptologic released its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2009 this week, showing reduced revenues as a result of lower wagering activity across the industry, adverse currency factors, and a reduced contribution from a key licensee.

The Virgin Casino subsidiary of online gambling firm Virgin Games, has announced that it is launching six new games from three leading games producers in February. Cryptologic, Dynamite Idea and VS Gaming are the providers, and the range includes three major titles in King Kong, Call of Duty and Thor - all developed by Cryptologic.

Millionaire's Club is Cryptologic's premier progressive jackpot - as the name implies it is commonly won for amounts which exceed $1 million. There are three different games in the Millionaire's Club series that share the same jackpot round bonus game. There are three wheels in the bonus game - should the you stop the spin on an arrow on the wheel you will advance to another inner wheel where the rewards are greater. Do that three times and you win the jackpot.

Rags to Riches is a Cryptologic slots jackpot that can be won by playing either the traditional 3-reel Rags to Riches slot machine or the newer 5-reel Rags to Riches 20 Line video slot.

Marvel Hero is the largest in Cryptologic's Hero progressive jackpot series. It can be won randomly by playing any one of the Cryptologic Marvel Jackpot Slots which includes Blade, Captain America, Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Hulk, Iron Man, The Punisher, Silver Surfer, Spiderman, Sub-Mariner, Thor, Wolverine, and X-Men.
