Harrah's Not Developing Online Casino Games
Harrah’s Entertainment is one of the largest companies in the international
gambling industry. The company is certainly the most prominent within the land
gambling industry, with signature land casinos all over the world. Now though
the gambling company is looking to move into the online gambling arena in the
hopes that the United States’ gambling market will open in the coming months and
years. Earlier this year Harrah’s announced the launch of an internet gambling
division to be based out of Canada. That announcement is becoming a reality as
the company has already opened up a headquarters for the online casino gambling
division in Montreal.
The online casino division is launching quickly and moving forward aggressively
and many in the industry were surprised that Harrah’s chose to purchase the
internet gambling games and system that will power the soon-to-launch gaming
site. Earlier this month Harrah’s announced the signing of a deal with
Dragonfish; many were surprised that an industry giant such as Harrah’s would
choose the small albeit highly reputable Dragonfish internet software provider.
Dragonfish is a subsidiary of 888 Holdings, a strong name in the online casino
gambling industry that develops innovative gaming platforms.
There was definitely speculation that Harrah’s was going to create its own
online casino gambling software for use in the market, but that is not the case.
Harrah’s instead chose to use a tried and true product that has already been
extensively tested in the market and will certainly have fewer bugs and zero
beta testing necessary. |
