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

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!

Ah...but do we think they are any more pro poker than what we have already.

Not necessarily.

I think the people at The Sportsman are "pro-poker" for example

That would be great news or Glasgow as LCI were awarded the rights to build the new casino with the 180 seater cardroom up here.

We used to play blackjack at napoleon's years ago, sitting at the £3 table pissing ourselves laughing at the old ladies shouting (I asume) abuse at us.
