WTF????
This group was part of Peak Entertainment but now seems owned by a name not familiar to me - Red Giant Limited - which is a UK based company.
It is not clear to me whether they have bought the casinos from Peak and are now switching softwares, or whether Peak has morphed into Red Giant and dumped Cryptologic.
We've sent enquiries to the companies involved to explore that.
This advance press release, which mainly deals with the licensing of the cartoon brand Yosemite Sam is available from Red Giant:
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao and London, England,
February 15th, 2006
Red Giant Ltd. and Warner Bros. Online have entered into an innovative digital licensing agreement that includes integrating the infamous Yosemite Sam as the primary branding and promotional host for the online gaming site 49erCasinoTM. Yosemite Sam the legendary cartoon character who has been entertaining the world for over 60 years is now kicking up online gold at 49erCasinoTM, which is owned and operated by Red Giant Ltd.
The 49erCasinoTM brand is a popular western themed style online casino based on the gold rush era of the mid 1800s where thousands of people from all over the world came to California in hopes of discovering gold and were called 49ers.
Robert Szmigiel, 49erCasino brand manager states, We felt the Yosemite Sam character was a perfect fit for our 49erCasino brand because of his popular (humorous) western style personality, history and world-wide demographic appeal. Well be using Yosemite Sam as the lead character infusing his likeness, his voice and his unique personality throughout the site and all its offerings. Were pleased that Yosemite Sam will figure prominently in the strategic promotion of our brand worldwide.
Robert added, Red Giant has always been selective in choosing its business partners and we are extremely pleased with the opportunity to work with Warner Bros. Online. We are confident that this collaboration and the Yosemite Sam character brand will facilitate the successful expansion of 49erCasino and capture a significant segment of the explosive growth in online gaming internationally. The web site will also be translated into several languages as the online casino expands marketing into foreign markets.
