When WSOP Finale
The finale for the most awaited season this year for the WSOP has yet to
announce its final decision as to when it will resume. After months of being on
hold, the stage has been finally ready and the final table is set after
attention has been given once again through a subtle television broadcast and it
also included the plans thereafter. Online casinos and other operators are still
on the edge since they don't when the final date will be and bets are still
coming in. This, of course, is not too much of a hassle for online casino sites
since gamblers are still enthused, but it is odd.
This is the first time that WSOP delayed the finale for the prestigious poker
tournament. Online casino players and enthusiasts have been constantly probing
about the delayed ending that was announced after deciding who the nine player
finalists would be. But recently, the public has seen hope for a change in this
kind of decision in the coming season. And hopefully, online casinos will
finally be able to resume bets on WSOP season.
On the other hand, according to Seth Palansky, the Director of communications
for the WSOP, live streaming the event through ESPN was a huge success this year
and indeed it has changed the way the game was received by the public. However,
his concern is about having the fans waited for so long after letting them
experience live coverage. He believes that this strategy to make them watch the
finale in television, after postponing it for 4 months does not work. This type
of format started in 2008 and this was done in order to increase the promotion
of the final event and the ratings as well as to give the contenders time to
secure sponsorships. However, the land and online casino and gambling public
suggests otherwise and that is why, he wanted to change this in the next season.
