Through investing strategically in Mahjong Time, which is a novel provider of turnkey solutions and Internet Mahjong software, this week Cryptologic Limited progresses with its entry into the market in Asia. According to the President and CEO of CryptoLogic, Brian Hadfield, the game of Mahjong originates in China’s ancient history and more than six hundred million fans across the globe play it. He also adds that his company is adept in changing favorite hobbies into Internet fun, and his intention is to maintain the activity in Asia with those collaborators whose vision is akin to theirs. Cryptologic has reached the agreement to make an investment of up to two and half million dollars for a sizable stake in equity in Mahjong time, contingent upon specific schedules and thresholds in a deal anticipated to terminate within thirty days. The company in Asia maintains a platform patented, produced and run by a staff with a deep experience of Mahjong, and it brings in earnings by providing gaming managers with a software license, and so by means of contests, subscribing, models based on pay–for–pay and displaying ads on the game site appeal to business. MahjongTime.com, the company’s site also brings in earnings for the Mahjong Time Company. According to Hadfield, Mahjong Time maintains several special benefits for operators, and these include further sets of rules than supplied by other providers, versions in software multiple languages as well as progressive gaming items, for example: archive modes, watch and play. A safe and sturdy environment are advantages to the participants, which include software not downloaded supporting playing by subscribing or in contests, in addition to newcomers being able to receive tutorials and instructions for the game. Social networking via progressive community features at Mahjong Time are enjoyed by participants from one hundred and thirty six countries, and this includes a highly developed avatar store, list of friends, personalization engine, ranked contests, as well as a patented visual form of belt ranking and a rating system, all features contributing to the success of the Web 2.0 gaming version. The formal Internet partner of the North American Mahjong Federation is Mahjong Time, as well the partner of national associations in a number of countries in Europe and the European Mahjong Association. It has created a special, rating system officially certified known as MORSE which is used for contests on the Internet. The World Series of Mahjong, which is the largest cash prize winning contest in the game’s history is provided online software and a platform by the company. In order to get to millions of fans throughout Asia and further, the world television coverage of the WSOM for the next three years will provide the platform. According to the CEO of Mahjong Time, William Sutjiadi, Mahjong, in the form of a game, concerns the two ideas of community and strategy, and this is the approach perceived in constructing the firms’ business and software. He further adds that Cryptologic recognizes this huge novelty and wonderful software, and both companies can create a concern with potentially vast global prospects. Posted on: March 31, 2008
