The Festivities Are Back
The UK is really a great environment for the online casinos and internet poker
gambling companies now that the legislation is much more liberalized and has
increased freedoms for the companies. That isn’t to say that there aren’t some
kinks and issues in the system – in fact Will Hill and some of the internet
sportsbetting companies have major issues with the current taxation policy. On
the other hand though, online casino gambling companies have increased freedoms
when it comes to advertising in the UK. Additionally, the internet poker company
PKR has announced the Poker in the Park event may just become an annual event
thanks to co-sponsorship with Bluff Magazine Europe.
Last year’s Poker in the Park event drew large crowds to the event in Central
London’s Leicester Square. Land and online casino poker players are able to
attend the event and participate in free poker tournaments, entertainment,
merchandising booths, and more. The two day event proved popular last year and
both PKR Poker and Bluff Magazine anticipate the next week’s event will
similarly draw the crowds.
PKR Poker, an online casino poker brand, is the event’s primary sponsor with
Bluff also providing sponsorship funds and publicity for the weekend event. The
Marketing Director at PKR Poker, Simon Prodger observed about this years event,
taking place on August 15-16, 2008. He notes, “This year's Poker in the Park is
going to be even bigger and better than last year’s and, because it's free to
participate, it creates an interesting experience for all kinds of people
passing through the heart of the city.” |
