Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin Star City Casino press conference gets out of control; Ric Flair attacks Hulk Hogan

Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin Star City Casino press conference gets out of control; Ric Flair attacks Hulk Hogan, by Greg Tingle - 18th November 2009

The press conference started friendly enough as most professional wrestling press conferences do.

Fans nor news media did not expect for things to get out of hand at Star City Casino, when Flair and Hogan got into a verbal fight that ended in physical violence and a bloodbath reminiscent of Mario Milano, Ron Miller, Mark Lewin, Abdullah The Butcher and The People's Army.

Numerous news media including Media Man captured the brawl with stills and video, and most Australian network news broadcasts will be running with the story tonight.

Even a professional photographer's camera flash was broken in the mayhem.

Hogan's head was a bloody crimson mess after Flair's punch and whipping with with his belt. Hogan landed hard on the floor and fellow wrestlers helped him to his feet after approximately 10 minutes of recovering. Many of the wrestlers present looked very concerned and helped Hogan get backstage for medical assistance.

Mr Flair and Mr Hogan have been engaged in a long running and heated feud, however this public exchange is understood to be the most violent to date.

Some wrestling insiders were overheard to have said; "Red turns to green" (blood turns to money), however numerous fans and media also noted that the attack was overdone and had "gone to far" and that "Flair shooted" on Hogan.

Hulk Hogan is still extremely excited to be touring and wrestling in Australia for the first time.

He advised the audience that other promoters in the past had billed him to tour Australia without his knowledge only to tell the fans that he could not make it.

Hogan is best known for his legdrop and "Hulkamanic's" while Flair's trademark's include Flair judo chops, figure four leglock, Flair flip and "Wooooo" taunt, something that Hogan is never likely to forget.

Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin officially starts at Sydney’s Acer Arena on the 28th of November.

The Hulk, Hulk Hogan injured in bloody Sydney brawl with Ric Flair and media - News Limited - 18th November 2009

WRESTLER Hulk Hogan has been badly injured after a violent bloody brawl broke out at The Hulkamania promotional press conference at Star City today.

The press conference veered violently out of control today as Hulk Hogan and ring rival Ric Flair let their animosity break into a full scale bloody brawl.

Sydney Central’s photographer Phil Rogers has his flash broken when Ric Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers. See the photo of the Hulk.

Media were stunned as the Hulk’s head began bleeding profusely and confusion broke out when the veteran wrestling star was unable to get to his feet.

This reporter narrowly missed being struck with the table and photographers ducked and weaved as Ric Flair took off his trouser belt and began to whip anyone within range.

The press conference began well with the stars of the tour speaking professionally about their careers and the business.

Media Man comments

The press conference started in a professional and friendly fashion. As the conference progressed Mr Hogan and Mr Flair started exchanging words and temperatures rose to an extent that Flair finally physically attacked Hogan, with Hogan and his table falling off the stage. A media frenzy followed with many fans shocked and starting chanting Hogan's name, and he was assisted to the back for medical attention. Both media and fans speculated with each other as to how much of the press conference may have been scripted, and how much really got out of hand. In any event, it was an entertaining and wild affair, and only adds to the Hulk Hogan VS Ric Flair series of matches in Australia being a "don't miss" attraction. Wooooo!

Casino, Poker, Bingo, Table Games, Hollywood Slot Games, Casino Classics: PartyGaming Does It All, by Greg Tingle

PartyCasino, PartyPoker, Club World Poker Tour - London Stock Exchange powerhouse - meet the Ace of the igaming world

The world's leading igaming company, PartyGaming is on a roll as of late.

Having come to terms with the United States Department of Justice earlier this year, PartyGaming have become quite the darling of the igaming, gaming and news media world.

PartyGaming has been on a purchasing and acquisitions mission recently picking up Cashcade and World Poker Tour, and is poised to come to more major business deals in the Asia Pacific and South American regions. It's global strategy also sees Party eyeing off India and France, whose government's appear open, even positive, to see a deal inked. PartyGaming has also been able to talk shop with Australia's Crown Casino resulting in sending online poker players in the direction of Crown's Aussie Millions Poker Tournament via its celebrated PartyPoker.com brand.

As PartyGaming CEO, Jim Ryan, has pointed out a number of times this financial year, PartyCasino is a key driver in the business and the Hollywood themed online slot games have been a huge success, as has their "Live Dealer" product, enabled by Evolution Gaming. While PartyCasino secured the rights to WagerWorks classic titles last year, Cleopatra, Monopoly and Cluedo, Party was able to build the portfolio with its own in-house team.

Online poker remains the company's bread and butter, despite PartyPoker.com not currently accepting U.S customers. However, Party's purchase and running of Club WPT means that United States citizens can now enjoy a PartyGaming product without any question of legals. The World Poker Tour brand will also almost certainly enable PartyGaming to facilitate some major news media and television deals, which will further grow the company's bottom line and brand.

Casino fans... now the information you've been waiting for... more world class online slot games are on the cards for PartyCasino, following the recent releases, Tarzan, Sinatra, High Noon, Resident Evil and The Naked Gun. Names being speculated include Andre The Giant, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Expendables, The Sopranos, Sonic, Underbelly, Hilton, UFC, TNA and Marvel. Again, those brands are speculation, but some of these have made print, and as they say, where there's smoke, there's fire! PartyGaming already offers four Marvel themed online slot games and the Marvel Hero Jackpot, and modern classic, The Godfather, remains one of the most popular slots networked into the world famous Gold Mega Jackpot, currently exceeding $4 million dollars! If you got excited by Cleo, Rambo and Tarzan, just wait till you see what lurks around the corner. Australia's NextGen Gaming has been teasing some journalists and insiders on some massive brands going live on PartyCasino, and that's no spin. The online casino brand also offers 24/7/365 support and comes in a wide range of multi currency and multi language options. Not convinced yet? Players and potential players can also play for free or play for money, so you know your in safe hands.

PartyGaming is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has been operating for over a decade, which is like a lifetime in the gaming world. PartyGaming has also made this year's eGaming Review shortlist for a number of awards and commendations. In addition, PartyGaming and its PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands have made the Media Man and Casino News Media shortlist for end of year awards.

While some of PartyGaming's competitors are putting out some impressive products from time to time, those in the know state that there is only one PartyGaming and that their track record of stability, service, security, innovation and fun speaks for itself.

*the writer has a b2b agreement in place with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of brands in the gaming and igaming sector, the details of which are commercially sensitive in nature. The writer is the founder and director of Media Man, Media Man International and Global Gaming Directory.

PartyGaming's PartyCasino and PartyPoker In Line For More Awards, by Greg Tingle - 12th November 2009

As we head towards the end of 2009 and the igaming industry remains as competitive as ever, it shouldn't surprise anyone, punter, newbie or industry veteran, that PartyGaming and its PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands are in line for more industry awards and commendations.

PartyGaming remains the world’s leading listed online gaming company. Founded in 1997, the
Group has its shares listed on The London Stock Exchange.

Coming off a wave of momentum with its successful purchase of World Poker Tour (WPT Enterprises) last week, Cashcade a number of months ago, and the release of a swag of new slot games, the company is tipped to continue domination of the gaming and igaming world.

Party's awards and commendations include eGaming Review Operator Of The Year and Socially Responsible Operator Of The Year. In addition PartyCasino has been awarded the Media Man - Casino News Media Online Casino Of The Month (numerous times).

The company also achieved inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series.

As the company looks forward to the new year they look to continue innovation, value for money, world class service, and growth into new geographic regions including South America, Indian, France and the Asia Pacific.

PartyGaming will continue to revamp its websites including it's ever growing PartyCasino.com site, thanks to the frequent games being added and its newly acquired Club WPT website, certain to have a more PartyGaming look and feel being added in the coming months.

PartyGaming is poised to make more inroads into the United States coming off the back of its purchase of WPT Enterprises (U.S residents can play online poker on the Club World Poker Tour website without potential legal complications) and PartyPoker.com and World Poker Tour ambassador, Mike Sexton, has just been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in Las Vegas and had nothing but praise for the PartyGaming family.

*the writer has a b2b relationship with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of other brands in the gaming and igaming world.

World Poker Tour Changes Name to Ante4 - 6th November 2009

World Poker Tour Enterprises, which recently completed the sale of its World Poker Tour to an international gaming company, on Friday announced that it had changed its name to Ante4 Inc.

It will trade on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker ANTF on Monday, at which time the World Poker Tour’s WPTE ticker will cease to exist.

Steve Lipscomb, founder of the World Poker Tour, said he has money in the bank and a revenue stream from royalties on future poker tournaments as the result of the sale. He plans to buy or merge with another operating company in the future.

“We have one really great employee.” Lipscomb told the Business Journal, referring to himself. “We are looking for opportunities that will maximize shareholder value, but have nothing to announce at this time.”

PartyGaming Media, an online poker company based in Gibraltar, purchased World Poker on Nov. 2 after shareholders from both companies approved the acquisition.

World Poker’s 35 employees now work for PartyGaming at the former WPT offices at 5700 Wilshire Blvd.

Chris Welch, PartyGaming’s chief marketing officer, said the new owners plan to continue producing poker tournaments with the same personnel. (Credit: Wires, Google News, WSJ, MediaMan)

Cash Machine Opens At PartyCasino - Industry Leading Gold Mega Jackpot Still Waiting To Be Won!

The Cash Machine Opens At PartyCasino.com - Points Mean Dollars!

Industry Leading Gold Mega Jackpot Still Waiting To Be Won!

Gibraltar – 6th November 2009 – The ATM will soon open at PartyCasino.com as the ‘Cash Machine’ promotion runs from 00.00ET on 9th November to 23.59ET on the 6th December. This promo is programmed to pay out unlimited cash to customers!

To get unlimited cash, a player has to earn 10 or more PartyPoints on at least 10 days during the promotional period. At the end of the promotion PartyCasino.com will look at the PartyPoints collected on a player’s 10 highest days and give them $1 for every point earned on the lowest of those days.

Example: If a player earns the following points on their 10 highest points days:

Three days at 100 points per day
Five days at 175 points per day
Two days at 150 points per day

The player’s lowest points total in this period is 100, which means $100 will be deposited into their PartyAccount at the end of the promotion. This is an OPT-IN promotion and a customer can opt-in at any point during the period, PartyCasino.com will use all the points earned since 9th November to calculate the prize at the end of the promotional period. There are 28 qualifying days, and the cash machine prize is only limited by the number of points a player earns. If a player’s lowest day’s points total is 1,000 points, PartyCasino.com will give you $1,000. What is won is up to the player – there are no limits at this ATM!

Virgin Games Launch The Price Is Right and Super Hoot Loot

VirginCasino.com Release More New Classic Slots

Profiles

The Price Is Right

Based on one of television’s most popular game shows, The Price is Right slot will have you spinning and grinning.

The Game

The game is a five-reel slot machine with 3 DIFFERENT BONUS FEATURES to multiply your winnings. During the regular play, the goal is to achieve a winning combination of symbols on any of the selectable lines. Payouts depend on the number of coins played and the winning combination of symbols achieved. The theoretical average return to player (RTP) is 96.646% with BIG WHEEL ON and 95.426% with BIG WHEEL OFF


Super Hoot Loot

Introduction

Foxes and eagles and giant multipliers - Oh my! There's a whole forest of excitement in this 40-line game. Get a winning combination on the special Loot Line® and watch that win get multiplied up to 200x! That'll give you something to hoot about!

Any reel symbol with an owl gets copied from the reels onto the Loot Line®, where outcomes are evaluated just like regular payline outcomes. However, Loot Line® awards are boosted by a massive multiplier equal to the number of credits bet. The bigger your stake, the higher your multiplier.

Super Hoot Loot™ features two wild symbols: the Wild Super Hoot Loot symbol and the 2x Wild Owl symbol. All payline wins involving the 2x Wild Owl symbol are doubled! Also, every 2x Wild Owl symbol on the reels gets copied to the Loot Line®, giving you the chance to double the already massive Loot Line® multiplier.

In the Free Games feature, the Loot Line® is seeded with an automatic 2x Wild Owl. Not only are you much more likely to achieve meaty Loot Line® wins, but your Loot Line® award multiplier is guaranteed to be twice as big - up to 400x!

In the past few weeks Virgin has released many exciting new slot games including Cubis, Ramesses Riches, Emerald Isle, Irish Eyes, Dolphin Reef, Dragon Master, Bejeweled, Rainbow Riches: Win Big Shindig and The X Factor: Steps To Stardom, with more slot games on the way including the famed Marvel super heroes!

Phil Ivey Set To Start November Nine As Favourite?

Gibraltar – 4th November 2009 – Bookmaker PartyBets.com has had to cut the odds on Phil Ivey taking down the WSOP Main Event from 5/1 into 7/2 making him the new OUTRIGHT FAVOURITE to win. This is despite the fact that Ivey is seventh in chips and Darvin Moon has a monster stack that many believe should be big enough to roll his opponents over quite easily. Moon has drifted in the betting from 3/1 favourite out to 4/1.

Ahead of his induction into the Poker Hall of Fame on Saturday, PartyPoker.com Ambassador Mike Sexton said: “Phil Ivey is the most well known pro to the public and this has to be a sentimental bet for action on the tournament. It is hard to imagine, more astonishing, that a player can be favourite with just 5% of the chips in play. I regard Ivey as the best player in the world and it would be nice to see him win but as everyone knows chips are power.”

A PartyBets.com spokesman said: “Has the world gone mad? Ivey is a short stack and Moon is a massive chip leader with 30% of the chips in play. It just doesn’t make sense but the punters just keep coming for Ivey and we have had no choice but to make him favourite because of our large six figure liabilities and the consistent interest.”

“There will be a lot of punters out there sweating Ivey and a lot of bookies praying that he doesn’t get the early double-up that is essential for him to make a remarkable comeback from seventh in chips. If Ivey achieves what punters think he can it will be the worst poker result in bookmaking history.”

PartyBets.com - a sister site of PartyPoker.com and PartyCasino.com - chalked Ivey up at 175/1 to win the Main Event earlier this year. He was 100/1 as the Main Event got underway and his odds have plummeted since then. A big name on the final table of the WSOP is always bad news for bookmakers. 175/1 as a starting price for any player in a field of 6,494 players is short and his true odds could have been double that but bookmakers are forced to price him prohibitively short because punters back the name.

PartyBets.com currently has Ivey as 7/2 favourite, followed by the commonly regarded favourite Darvin Moon at 4/1. Eric Buchman is next in the betting at 9/2. Ivey only has 265,000 more chips than France’s Antonie Saout but Saout is a 16/1 shot. The UK’s James Akenhead, a recent participant in the PartyPoker.com World Open V alongside Saout has also been well supported but is still 14/1. A Shulman double, with Jeff joining Barry as a WSOP Main Event winner this year is priced at 6/1. Other markets available include winning hand and colour of the final river card.

See PartyBets.com for more odds and information.

** The story of how Jon Kalmar, a poker pro from Chorley in the UK made the final table of the 2007 WSOP Main Event is a poker fairytale in itself. Jon went to Vegas with a bankroll of $15,000 before getting down to his last $2,000 and qualifying in a satellite. He had been on a terrible run for a long time but ended up as the only UK representative making it to the climax of poker’s showpiece and won $1,255,000 for finishing in fifth place. It was also happy days for a poker pro from Skane, Sweden won $25,000 from PartyBets.com after placing a bet of $100 at 250/1 that Kalmar would make the final table.**

World Poker Tour Stockholders Approve Party Gaming Sale, by Dan Cypra - Poker News Daily - 2nd November 2009

Despite a $36.5 million last-minute bid by mobile entertainment company Mandalay Media, shareholders of World Poker Tour Enterprises (WPTE) approved a $12.3 million purchase by Party Gaming subsidiary Peerless Media on Friday.

Late last week, owners of Mandalay Media submitted a $36.5 million bid to purchase WPTE, a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. Mandalay fired a Hail Mary, submitting an offer to purchase the massive television library, trademarks, and other portions of the roving tournament series. On Friday, a special shareholders meeting was held in Los Angeles and, at its conclusion, the sale to Peerless Media, a subsidiary of Party Gaming, was approved. The news appears to end any discussion of Mandalay Media purchasing the WPT.

A press release distributed by WPTE officials on Monday explained the company’s reaction to the last-ditch effort by Mandalay Media to purchase the majority of its assets: “The board of directors of WPTE reviewed the Mandalay Proposal and concluded that it was not a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Agreement). On October 30, 2009, WPTE received a modified written offer from Mandalay Media (the ‘Modified Mandalay Proposal’). On October 31, 2009 the board of directors of WPTE reviewed the Modified Mandalay Proposal and concluded that it was not a Superior Proposal.” Mandalay Media is based in Los Angeles and believed it offered a competitive proposal due to its seasoned management team, global reach, mobile expertise, social media prowess, and success in the gaming marketplace.

The proposal from Mandalay Media implored WPTE management to postpone the special stockholders meeting scheduled for Friday, where on the docket was voting on Party Gaming’s proposal. In total, 67.93% of the company’s common shares were represented at the meeting and the sale was approved by an 85% to 15% margin. Its closing should be completed by the end of the month. Mandalay Media is unrelated to the casino in Las Vegas of the same name.

WPTE’s stock, which is traded on the NASDAQ under the same four-letter acronym, has been on a roller coaster ride over the past four days. On Thursday, WPTE closed at $1.11. When trading opened the next morning, the company’s shares were fetching $1.41, an overnight jump of 28%, on the news that Mandalay Media had submitted a purchase agreement. By the close of trading on Friday, WPTE stock had fallen to $1.10. At the time of writing, which is around Noon on Wall Street, WPTE is treading at $1.07 per share, a drop of $0.04 on the day.

Mandalay Media’s proposal consisted of approximately $36.5 million in stock and cash offerings. WPTE would have received $28.5 million in cash plus $5 million in Mandalay’s common stock and 5% of future revenues. The company had guaranteed that the latter sum would amount to at least $1 million per year over the next three years. The purchase agreement noted that the proposal equated to $1.77 per share, a premium of 61% over WPTE’s closing price on October 26th.

Under the terms of the sale to Party Gaming, WPTE will receive $12.3 million less affiliate payments it owes to the online gaming giant. WPTE will also receive 5% of future gross gaming revenue and 5% “of other future gross revenues less certain taxes and costs earned with the purchased assets in perpetuity.” Party Gaming has guaranteed that the future gaming revenue would total at least $3 million over a three-year period. Peerless Media is based in Gibraltar and its parent company is ElectaWorks Limited.

Once completed, WPTE officials plan to pursue non-poker-related business ventures. The sale’s effect on the WPT tournament circuit is currently unknown. WPT personnel are in the midst of filming the series’ eighth season and will kickoff the Foxwoods World Poker Finals on Thursday. The $10,000 buy-in tournament crowns a champion on November 10th.

Thor online slot review

Thor is set to hit the movies in 2010.

Here is the Thor online slot game review. The Thor online slot game can be found at PartyCasino.com

Websites

PartyCasino.com

PartyCasino.com Marvel Slots website

Review

Thor is one of CryptoLogic's great "Marvel Heroes" video slots. Based on the comic book, this game has unbeatable visuals and sound effects, and a free spin bonus feature where all winnings are tripled! The game's other payouts are big too, making this an all around great video slot.

If you are familiar with the comic you will recognize a lot of the game's symbols, but they are great to look at even if you don't know what they are. The game has a kind of Viking god theme, which makes it look quite interesting. But it is the gameplay and bonuses that are really important, right? Well Thor has those too!

With nine paylines to enable, that means this is a max 9 coin game. But with a coin size anywhere from 0.05 to 5.00, that makes for a very flexible pay-in! Of course it's always best to bet as high as you can, because the higher you bet, the better your chances will be to land of the game's three Progressive Jackpots! Max bet for this game is at least 0.45, and can be as high as 45.00.

A Bonus Feature is hidden away in this slot, and is unlocked by hitting three or more Thor Logo scatter symbols anywhere on the screen. The Bonus Feature awards you with ten free spins, and during those spins, any winnings are tripled! That makes for one of the best free spin bonuses out there.

The last awesome feature in this game is the Thor wild symbol. It substitutes for any standard symbol on any reel, and can be a big help in completing winning combos. Plus, if you use just one, it doubles your payout, and if you use five, you get paid at an incredible 4000:1!

Thor is a Norse god, and is the biggest and baddest of them all. It is only appropriate, then, that his video slot is the biggest and baddest too!


Game objective:

Thor Slot is a five-reel, nine-paylines ‘Marvel Jackpot’ slot game with a free game feature. The game also features a "Thor" wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols except the “Scattered Logo” symbol. Three or more “Scattered Logo” symbols anywhere in view triggers the free game feature in which all wins are tripled.

Marvel Jackpot

Marvel Jackpot consists of three jackpots at different levels, the levels are - from the lowest - Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot, and Marvel Hero Jackpot, with the latter being the highest. All three jackpots grow progressively as bets are made. For each spin, on any of the Marvel Jackpot games, the house adds a small credit to the three running jackpots. All three levels in Marvel Jackpot can be won irrespective of hitting any paying combination, while betting any amount.

Game Information:

The minimum bet amount is $0.01 USD and the maximum bet amount is $360 USD.
You can bet on up to nine lines.

How to play:
Setting 'LINES': Nine lines are selected by default. Lines can be changed by clicking ? and ? arrow button available to the right side of the 'LINES' indicator on the game screen respectively. Selected lines are lit, and unselected lines are not lit.

James Packer defends casino industry at Crown AGM - 28th October 2009

James Packer has criticised "one-sided" media reporting about gambling advising his casinos make a great contribution to the community and business.

"Next time you read an unbalanced story about your casinos and their impact on the community, stop and think about the other side of the story" he advised the annual general meeting of Crown. "The one that rarely gets reported". "That is, of the contribution Crown makes to tourism, to employment, to training, to urban development, to community partnerships and to government revenues. Contributions that make us fundamentally different to many pubs and clubs."

Chief executive Rowen Craigie advised "While a few domestic customer segments continue to exhibit some signs of softness - and in particular I refer to some corporate events and corporate hotel bookings - these impacts have been offset by growth in other customer segments such as consumer and leisure bookings". "There are indications that the business environment in Macau is improving. We see long term potential for the Macau market growth given its exposure to China."

Internet gambling changes possible following Australian Productivity Commission report - 26th October 2009

SYDNEY, Australia - A new approach to tackling gambling could see the Australian government place a $1 per bet limit on pokie machines and repeal the ban on Australian online gaming sites, News Limited reports.

The 630 page draft report of the year-long review appears to be a government initiative to help make gambling safer through harm minimization strategies.

The report, quoted in The Courier Mail, acknowledges "Australia's ban on online gaming is not working, with Australians increasingly gambling abroad on sites with minimal consumer protection."

The final report carried out by the Productivity Commission is due for release on 26th February at this stage.

The Casino News Media and Media Man Australia network will report on more details as they come to hand.

Anurag Dikshit’s Sale of Party Gaming Stock Receives Mixed Reaction, by Dan Cypra - 25th October 2009

One of the major poker headlines this week was the news that Party Gaming Cofounder Anurag Dikshit would divest himself of nearly 114 million shares of the company’s stock, which is traded in London under the symbol “PRTY.” Now, the industry has had a chance to react.

The internet gambling think tank sported mixed reactions to the news, as Dikshit’s departure meant that a man who admitted to violating U.S. law in a New York courtroom one year ago would no longer hold any interest in the company. Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) Chairman Joe Brennan told Poker News Daily, “The thing to take away is that this is probably good overall for Party Gaming. When you have one of their founders pleading guilty, if and when things start to get normalized in the U.S. and Party Gaming comes into the market, they need to clear it off the books. The fact that he’s exiting the company is good for its future.”

When internet gambling will be legalized and regulated in the United States is anyone’s guess. Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) introduced HR 2267 in May as one solution. The bill outlines a framework for the explicit legalization of the industry and, although the measure is up to 62 cosponsors, it has not yet been scheduled for markup in the House Financial Services Committee.

On how members of Congress and others outside of the industry would react to Dikshit’s exit, Brennan explained, “If Dikshit leaving Party Gaming can be a benefit to that company, I would say that it does the same broadly for the industry.” Financial analyst Nick Batram told Bloomberg that Dikshit’s departure meant that Party Gaming “may also find it easier to raise funds from institutional investors rather than the founders for large sports gambling acquisitions.” The Wire Act of 1961 has historically been interpreted to mean that online wagering on sports is not permitted in the U.S.

Dikshit will purportedly turn over the proceeds of his sale, which will likely total more than ₤188 million, to his charitable foundation. On the TwoPlusTwo online poker forums, posters questioned Dikshit’s charitable motives: “If he donated to an established charity that could not be mistaken for a front, then that would be impressive,” one skeptic noted. Some have speculated that tax benefits are the real reason behind his actions. Brennan told Poker News Daily, “He wants to get out of the business and focus on his charitable endeavors.”

The sale of two-thirds of Dikshit’s stake sent shares of Party Gaming plummeting. Trading above 284 pence on October 19th, the stock dove to 240 pence in 24 hours, a dip of 15%. PRTY closed trading on Friday on the London Stock Exchange fetching 243 pence, 135 pence above its asking price one year ago.

An article in the Financial Times summed up the reaction from most of the industry: “The truth, however, is that while the distancing of Mr Dikshit can’t be bad for Party Gaming, it is still frustratingly unclear what the odds are on a successful return to the U.S. market.” In five weeks, the financial services industry in the United States must fall into full compliance with the regulations of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The impact of the December 1st deadline remains to be seen, but the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) recently authored a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke asking for the UIGEA’s regulations to be delayed by one year.
