Mitch Garber, chief executive officer of Caesars Interactive Entertainment, said, “888 has been successfully driving the World Series of Poker brand in the UK for the past three years, and with current momentum toward either a Federal or State by State regulatory environment, 888 is uniquely positioned to support either outcome, without delay."
