CNBC2 "Today's Business Europe" is reporting that Harrah's stock is up on the report that it may be acquiring some of the online sites. It seems as long as they were taking US customers they would not invest but now that the companies are are not taking US customers, US business can buy them out.

Harrah's stock is up on the fact that some private equity group offered to buy the entire company.

when harrah's goes private, maybe they'll buyout partygaming and other sites. then las vegas sands and steve wynn will step in and they all fight for market share. hell yeah

Harrah's stock could also be up due to this: Harrah's receives buyout bid

This can only be good news, not bad. I have heard a few things about this myself and have been waiting for more info to pop up. I also heard this Harrah's sale was contingent upon this bill passing. It seems odd that this is all happening at the same time. This could mean that this bill is an attempt to rid the U.S. of foreign online sites and leave the door open for Harrah's and others to open online sites of their own and have it regulated and taxed by the Gov't.

It may not be the right way or the ethical way to do it, but at least it might be a step in the right direction to getting LEGAL online poker here in the U.S. Personally, I don't care about the taxes if this could really get done. Most of the people I have talked to about this, have a good working knowledge of the industry, but at this point it still is just speculation.

I am an atheist, but I will be praying for this!
