Poker a Central Theme
There is no surprise in the fact that the upcoming World Poker Congress has two
full days of poker-themed discussions in the works. The WPC is an annual event
that attracts the international online casino and poker gambling executives from
all over the world to meet and discuss the direction of the industry as well as
hot topics that are currently effective both land and internet poker. As the WPC
date draws closer the event creators have released additional details about the
event that outline planned discussions and lecturers.
Two of the top names in the land and online casino poker gambling industries
will not only be in attendance at the Congress, but they will also be leading
some of the lectures and discussions. Steve Lipscomb and Hendrick Knopp will
attend the event – both are the heads of their respective organizations, the
World Poker Tour brand as well as Bwin Interactive (one of the more prominent
European online casino gambling and betting companies).
Also hot on the list will surely be the recent and rapid developments within the
Asian gambling industry. The Asian-Pacific region is largely still against the
legalization of online casino gambling, including poker, but that restriction
hasn’t stopped land poker from rapidly growing in popularity. The gambling
climate in Macau has influenced the growth of poker in Asia as well as the
success and prominence of the currently running Asian Poker Tour. The APT has
really only just begun to gain a prominent following of poker enthusiasts – and
has only recently begun to offer highly competitive poker gamblers into the
international land and online casino poker gambling industries. |
