EPT Adds a Stop
Land and online casino poker fans from all over Europe, and particularly within
France, are surely excited with the announcement that the European Poker Tour
will now resume it’s traditional route – which includes France. The online
casino gambling industry has faced some very real problems over the past several
years with some countries enacting and enforcing very harsh legislation that was
anti-foreign competition within the gambling industry, be it the online casinos
or foreign poker tourneys. The French government though has spent the past year
restructuring the land and internet gambling legislation in the country and new
and more pro-gambling legislation means that EPT fans can plan on the tour
stopping in France.
Poker Stars hosts this annual event and the online casino poker gambling site
was pleased to make this announcement. Additionally, as a way to kick off the
pre-EPT tour festivities Poker Stars is already offering online qualifying
events. The EPT is a highly competitive touring poker program and casino poker
gamblers are already gearing up fro this prestigious event. As the hosting
organization, Poker Stars is ideally situated to offer internet poker gamblers
some of the best EPT packages on the Web.
As for the dates of the event, this year’s EPT will run at the end of January,
specifically the 20th through the 24th. This event is not on quite such a grand
scale as the World Series of Poker events, but at the same time, online casino
poker gamblers really look forward to this annual event and there are always a
lot of top talent and poker pros competing. |
