The Future: Harrah's Online Casino
Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 2:09 PMWritten by Daniel Online gambling might be thriving, give or take some
insistent regulations, around the world. Practically all of Europe and the UK
in particular have taken the lead and are setting an example for countries
around the world to set up proper iGaming markets.
Then, lagging behind in conservative fashion, is the United
States of America.
While efforts to
reverse the ban, led mostly by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), seem to take on a positive
track, it is the established casinos that will convince the US administration
to regulate an online gambling market.
Furthermore, it will be Las Vegas that will actually lead
the future market itself.
And so we have news of Harrah's Entertainment setting up an
online operation that will focus its efforts on Europe and the non-US markets
for months to come.
This from Chairman, President and CEO Gary Loveman: "As
the world's largest gaming company, Harrah's is taking a proactive approach
toward international and interactive expansion."
Humble words for a move that will very likely turn out to
become a giant force in US online gambling in a year or two.
