The chief executive of Harrah’s, Gary Loveman, indicated in comments yesterday at the Global Gaming Expo that his company was seriously considering launching a Europe-facing real money online poker room.
From Business Week:
“If you take a look at the legal landscape in continental Europe and the United Kingdom, there are countries where it’s demonstrably legal and there’s absolutely no encumbrance,” Loveman said. “Those are areas that are very attractive to us.”
Tournament spokesman Gary Thompson said Harrah’s is studying the market and legal conditions before deciding whether to continue. It would not enter the online poker market “where there are any gray areas,” he said.
