Author: CasinoSystems  //  Category: Casino News

The newspaper Las Vegas Review-Journal reported this week that the change in the presidency of the United States - after the elections last week - can bring some good news for the online gambling business in the near future.

With particular reference to statements by the chairman and chief executive of Harrah’s, Mr. Gary Loveman, who replied to questions relating to the matter at a press conference, the LVRJ reported that the senior member of Harrah’s argues that the chance to legalize the online poker have been strengthened considerably since the results of national elections last week and which the Barak Obama and Republican won by a large majority.

As Loveman described, the prospects of legalizing online poker are now extremely promising. On the other hand, he has not expressed the same optimism in relation to casino games and sports betting on the internet where the chances of legalization in the near future are very ‘poor’.

He also mentioned that he was satisfied with the outcome of the elections, not only for the transfer of control to the democratic party, but also because none of the leaders of committees that negotiate the poker issue is not opposed to the procedure (ie with the prospect of legalization of online poker).

” It is something we work every day and we now believe that opened the way to achieving our goals” Loveman said.

Loveman is president of the giant casino company “Harrah’s Entertainment” which has serious business interests in the case of online poker in the U.S.. Suffice to note, Harrah’s owns also the brand of World Series of Poker.
