Online Poker to Dominate the Corporate World?
As if it's not enough that poker has grabbed the attention of the TV and movie world, a recent research conducted by a major organization says that online poker is the future of corporate America...and the world.
Researchandmarkets.com has released a report called: Online Poker--Driving Gambling to New Heights. It says that online gambling is constantly reinventing itself and poker is getting the most attention, thus, it seems that the card game is the guanrantor of the online gambling industry's future.
You'll have to pay 412 Euros to get a copy of the full report. Of course for common folks who just like the game, it would be utterly useless to pay a fortune for this research. But for businesses already involved in online gaming, and those looking for possible ventures, this report will come real handy.
According to the report, online poker is the symbiosis of two major trends -- online gambling and poker. And what began as a successful expansion in the US is now taking over the Internet and major businesses are ready to cash-in. It also mentioned that major contributors to poker's popularity are successful TV coverages like the WSOP at ESPN, Celebrity Poker at Bravo, and the Europen Poker Tour on Eurosport.
This already billion dollar industry will see more expansion in Europe and Asia with the involvement of huge investments from global corporations, Reasearchandmarkets.com said. And many industry insiders are predicting that more than $60 billion will be spent on online poker gambling in 2005. For more info on this report, you can visit Researchandmarkets.com.
