That’s right… PokerStars is moving into the land-based casino market with a major investment in London’s Hippodrome Casino. PokerStars’ stake raises Hippodrome’s value to around £100 million.
Specific details haven’t been shared… but the info we’ve been able to gather is here:
PokerStars Invests in Land Based Casino
So… what are your thoughts? Do you think that PokerStars will be successful at the land-based casino market?
It is a great news for London casino players that Pokerstars are coming in there place and investing such a huge amount.
I think it is difficult for Pokerstars to survive in the market there but they will make it.Interesting how many land based casinos are trying to build a brand online and now the online world is moving into the real world markets.. I think pokerstars casino will last as long as the “Brand Image” of pokerstars lasts.
Hi guys. CBR also reported this on Dec 7th. and it is very exciting.
I have word from my connections in AC that the licenses will be for sale later this year, just like Nevada.
The initialization of the online gambling program in NJ will be limited to interstate only.The big question we have all been asking is will they have room for affiliates and there are some great posts about it on a few threads. I will obtain a license and my office space just outside of AC by the end of this year if it continues this way. I currently fear the worst for US facing affiliates but there is always working for the guys I used to work for before I guess…
Yes they will be very sucessfull regardless of on-or-off line presence..they are just too big of a name in the industry.
Weird they would do this. Lots of overhead in land-based gaming, and player acquisition is much tougher and more expensive.
