Harrah’s CEO turns focus to online poker, Asia

Gary Loveman, chief executive officer at Harrah’s Entertainment Inc, sees few signs of a recovery in Las Vegas, but believes U.S. legalization of online poker could bring in billions more to the world’s largest casino operator by revenue.”We have entered into an unusual period of stability,” Loveman said in an interview on the sidelines of the Milken Institute conference held here, referring to Las Vegas.He expects little improvement in Sin City this year, noting that some signals for 2011 — such as room rate-boosting group and convention business — are looking positive.Aside from Asia, the CEO said priorities for Harrah’s include the potential expansion of gambling in states like Ohio, Massachusetts and Maryland as well as the possible legalization of online poker in the United States.Bills that would allow poker to be played over the Internet have been floated in both the U.S. House and Senate.

European Poker Tour Season 7 Starts in Estonia

Even with the Season 6 EPT Grand Final in full swing in Monte Carlo, the European Poker Tour has its eye on the future. The richest poker tour on the planet has announced the full schedule for its upcoming Season 7 and there’s plenty for poker players to get excited about. The EPT has made inroads into former Eastern Bloc countries like the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary, but Season 7 will see the tour make only its second journey to a former republic of the Soviet Union.
