Party Gaming, the new owner of World Poker Tour

Party Gaming giant confirmed that is the new owner of the World Poker Tour and other WPT assets.

"Mandalay Media made an indicative $36.5m proposal for the whole of WPT Enterprises – but it was rejected in favour of PartyGaming’s asset deal." reports the UK Telegraph.

"Aside from the brand, the deal brings PartyGaming the rights to land-based events in the US and Europe, 150 hours of poker programming, and 16,500 paying players for a subscription poker offering" told us Telegraph.

"Expect this to give the PartyGaming brand a lot more reach, and access to many more customers. The WPT is very popular in the United States, making this a possible huge step in PartyGaming's strategy to prepare itself for the opening of the U.S. market." reports Nathan, Casino Affiliate Programs Copywritter.
