Friday January 30, 2009

The gaming software developer Chartwell Technology has expanded its range of premium game offerings with the signing of multi-game licensing agreements with Paramount Pictures and Progressive Gaming.

Under the terms of the arrangement with Paramount Digital Entertainment International, a division of Paramount Pictures, Chartwell Technology will develop online games based on two catalogue films from the Paramount Pictures' library. The company said that game development was underway but has not as yet disclosed the titles of the films.

The company's licensing agreement with Progressive Games Partners of the UK will see Chartwell Technology licence the online rights to Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker and Progressive Blackjack. Development of these games is underway and additional game titles are also under consideration.

The company stated that the two games are popular titles and are proven casino table games offering high entertainment value, which the company believes will benefit its clients and players.

Darold H. Parken, President and CEO of Chartwell Technology said: "These agreements reflect our commitment to delivering a much expanded and diversified product line to our customers.

"For Chartwell, 2009 is all about a tremendously expanded product suite, much more comprehensive service capabilities and the rollout of our most significant software release ever," he said.
