Global Expansion for the WSOP

The World Series of Poker event has been an institution in Las Vegas, and the United States, since 1970. And now the WSOP event coordinators have announced plans for an European WSOP event in just a few months. The entire gambling industry has begun to really expand into new regions, and the WSOP is merely following in those footsteps. Other areas that have recently announced new global events include online casinos, bingo sites, skill gaming companies, and other gambling related industries.

With the WSOP event in the United States wrapping up, now players can prepare for an equally prestigious event in Europe in early September. This tournament is also simply great for online casino poker players who attend the event because Americans can now longer get their poker fix online between tournaments because of online casino and internet gambling legislation in the United States.

Jeffrey Pollack, the Commission of the WSOP, commented on the plans for even further expansion in the coming years. He says, “It's our first step forward to meaningful international expansion. I think long-term - long-term being the next 12 to 36 months - we are looking to launch other events around the world.”

Part of the reason that the WSOP expansion is planned over the course of a couple of years is to ensure that the event maintains the prestige it has gained over the last 37 years in the U.S. Right now, the U.S. event is the largest poker tournament in the world. Players from all walks of life attend, celebrities, poker professionals, and online casinos poker players.

Pollack assures that the other WSOP tournaments will have the same extensive planning and precise execution that has made the Vegas tournament so very successful.
