Title: Harrahs buying UK casinos Post by: byronkincaid on August 31, 2006, 12:33:46 PM Just saw on the news that Harrahs are talking about buying London Clubs International. Maybe we'll get a WSOP circuit event in the UK?
LCI own these casinos http://www.lciclubs.com/casinos.html (http://www.lciclubs.com/casinos.html) Title: Re: Harrahs buying UK casinos Post by: TightEnd on August 31, 2006, 12:37:06 PM They've faced significant political and regulatory opposition to greenfield expansion, so acquisition became their only way
Should get the existing operators to sharpen up as they will be innovative competitors Would like to be a fly on the wall for GC and Harrah's meetings re juice!
