Contract in Place Again
The World Series of Poker is one of the biggest poker gambling events in the
world. The WSOP is a long-established poker gambling event that entices poker
professionals from both the land and online casino gambling industry to take
place in the many events and try to earn the coveted bracelets. The WSOP events
have always traditionally taken place in Las Vegas and normally during the
summer months. Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment runs the WSOP brand and in
recent years Harrah’s has really begun to expand the WSOP beyond just the main
event that takes place in the US and bring prestigious and high-level events to
countries all over the world, and including into the online casino poker
gambling industry. To further the efforts to expand the WSOP brand beyond the
traditional poker gambling community Harrah’s has announced that it chose to
renew its contract with IMG Sports and Entertainment for another five years.
The two companies have worked closely over the past four years to build up the
WSOP brand to include more of the global land and online casino poker gambling
community. IMG was also an integral part in the non-gambling partnerships that
have now been established between Harrah’s, the WSOP brand, and non-gambling
companies. IMG is well positioned within the global market to continue offering
valuable brand expansion insight and strategies to the WSOP.
Licensed WSOP events are the future of this prominent global brand and IMG has
really helped Harrah’s increase the value of this international land and online
casino pokerbrand through strategic partnerships, new bracelet events, more
media and television exposure and other key developments. |
