The Associated Press yesterday reported that the Harrah's Entertainment chief executive is considering taking the World Series of Poker brand into the online-poker market in the UK and Europe.
The newswire said that Gary Loveman made the comment at the Global Gaming Expo, America's largest casino industry trade show.
"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 told the AP. "Those are areas that are very attractive to us."
Harrah's tournament spokesman Gary Thompson reportedly said the company would not enter the online poker market "where there are any gray areas."
