Land-based casinos stand silent, careful to avoid making any public observations pro or con, on this obviously sensitive issue regarding a multi-billion dollar industry. Why the silence? Many are of the opinion that casinos regard the banning of internet gambling in the U.S. as an elimination of competition, leaving casinos as the major venue for the gambling buck. Yet it certainly seems that a strange symbiotic relationship does exist between online gaming and the brick and mortar gambling houses. In particular, this symbiotic relationship seems strongest between the poker .coms and the promoters of major land-based poker tournaments.

Why is it that the media director for the World Series of Poker – the world’s largest and highest profile poker tournament – is a major spokesman for PokerStars.com, itself one of the leading online poker sites? And why were the felt covered tables at the 2006 WSOP emblazoned with the logo of another online poker giant, PartyPoker? Well, let’s take an educated guess at what some of the answers might be. Think about this; It is estimated with considerable certainty that more than 40% of the 44,500 players that participated in the 2006 World Series of Poker Tournament found their way into the Las Vegas Rio’s poker room via internet poker sites such as PartyPoker.com, etc. These online sites frequently offer winners either cash prizes or the option of a paid-for seat at the WSOP world championship event which requires a $10,000 entry fee. |
