Thanks joeker.
A couple people on this board know who I am, but I don't make it public knowledge just so my opinions (sometimes intense
and my leaks..sometimes helpful) don't reflect on who I work for.
This is 100% information I would be privy to, and you can be assured I hate this stance by Harrahs.
It seems like everyday I come to work these days....I make less money than I did the day before...lol
Oh well. Maybe someone can talk Harrahs out of it, or I guess there's some very slim chance officers at Harrahs overrule the compliance board, but I highly doubt it.
Unless something changes pretty quickly in DC, I think this is going to be the stance of Harrahs for the time being.
Gambling911 or someone will probably have a story about it sometime soon.....although Harrahs may not make an official statement about it for a while.....so their WSOP management team can figure out how in the heck they're going to make money.
Just total speculation on my part here.....
But I could see a fallout at Harrahs over this. A guy like Jeffery Polluck was brought in to make the WSOP take off. Jeffery has had some high ranking positions in the past (with the NHL I believe) and has a brother who is pretty high up with.....I think the NHL....not 100% positive on that.
But, my point is....Jeffery's hands are pretty tied if this is the stance Harrahs is going to take. Jeffery is really hell bent on making the WSOP Circuit events bigger and better. That included more involvement from the online sites as well as possibly getting a huge title sponsor of the tour (i.e like Fulltilt)
Now Jeffery can't do any of that.
The revenue of the WSOP will take a huge hit. Not huge to the grand scheme of things at Harrahs, but huge to the management team of the WSOP.
If I was Jeffery, and this is the stance Harrah's is going to take, I'd pack it up and find another job...which he could easily do.
Now, if Jeffery knows about some grand scheme that involves Harrahs taking over the online poker world.....then I'd stick around
.......I don't know any such plan..before someone even asks
