After a greatly publicised and successful relationship with Cryptologic, an online casino software developer for over five years, which proved a very profitable endeavour for both parties, things in the relationship have turned soar.

The software developer has taken up arbitration proceedings opposing the comic designers. The reasoning behind their actions is stated due to Marvel apparently breaching their provisions as stated in the licensing agreement.

The partnership that began in 2005 between these two power-house brands was set to continue ‘til 2013 with Cryptologic holding exclusive licensing rights that would have let them use any of the Marvel-inspired superheroes as characters and themes for a collection of their slot games. To date, 17 various slot machines have used many characters including Spiderman, Blade, the Hulk and more.

However, in 2009, another deal was signed between marvel subsidiary (Marvel B.V) and PlayTech, which is in direct competition with Cryptologic.

In recent reports, it was said that Cryptologic had attempted to resolve the issues with marvel away from the courts but found themselves faced with an uncooperative Marvel. The software developer sees this legal action as a final resort in order to protect their licensing rights.

The iPad will be making its first appearance in stores on April 3^rd and developers are rushing to finish their iPad apps in time for the March 27^th deadline. Developers face a huge challenge as the iPad will already be supporting the 150,000 iPhone applications available. This makes sense because this new tablet computer is in many ways just a larger version of the iPhone.

The tablet format of the iPad can create a more realistic casino experience than the iPhone can. They are easier on the eyes but more portable than laptops. The iPad opens doors for a much more interactive online casino gaming experience. As an example, players can push the buttons on the slot machines when playing slots or rub the screen when playing scratch cards. The format of the iPad means that game designers can simulate real casino games and provide a more user friendly experience.

The downside of the iPad tablets is that they still run on the Apple operating system so users won’t be able to use download only casinos. They will be able to use browser based versions but if the iPad grows in popularity it would be in the best interest of online casinos to create download casinos that are Mac friendly.
