Legalised U.S. Poker Law Could See Las Vegas Full Tilt Poker Casino Created
March 21, 2009
There has been a great deal of rumours flying about regarding this story, with the main aspect been that should the U.S. congress rule that poker should become legal within its states, Las Vegas casino owners will look to create a partnership with a large online poker room.
The reason for the partnership would be that the Las Vegas poker scene would receive a huge boost in that the player base held by the poker site in question would enable the casino to hit the world running, with many players expected to be willing to visit the proposed casino.
A number of names have been placed forward within these rumours, with Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker and even PartyGaming all been mentioned.
These sites currently fill the top three spots within the online poker community for their size of player base, with Pokerstars recently revealing that they have signed up over 20 million members to date.
These sites are seen to be in the same company holding as someone like WalMart is, been companies that not many, if any, could compete against.
Mickey Richardson, CEO betCRIS.com recently said:
Two years ago, even a year ago I would have laughed at the notion that an online poker company might begin acquiring Vegas casinos, today it just seems logical.
This comment raises questions about the betting industry with regards to the recession effecting profits, with online betting companies not seeing much of a decrease in profits. This could be that the recession has infact kicked in or with the ease of been able to bet from home why spend all that extra betting funds travelling to the venue when you can aim to increase your bankroll with a larger base to begin from?
ThatsGambling will be looking out for progress within this story so that we can keep you all up to date with developments should any be made. We would love to see the development of a casino carrying the name of Full Tilt Poker but would that symbolise a decrease in traffic online if U.S. based players could have this on their doorstep?
What do you think to this? Would you like to see Full Tilt Poker or any of the other sites be made into a Las Vegas based casino?

One of the biggest aspects of playing online is the ability to multitable. The variance involved with both cash games and tournament play necessitates proper bank roll management. By multitabling you can still wager enough to make good money while not putting too many of your eggs in any one basket. For most of us online guys, we haven’t been doing it long enough to be able to do 10k buy ins using good bank roll management.
Because of this and other reasons the creation of a Full Tilt casino wouldn’t be a replacement for their online site. It would only serve to attract new players in all likelihood.
