Default PartyGaming going Private? I hope they reopen to US...

Wouldn't that be FUN!

Just saw this article and I have a dream [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

http://www.bookmakersreview.com/c/Ne...f_up_for_sale/

Might be something to the 'for sale' rumor as my party stock has gone from 43 cents to 67 cents over the last two week... I win on that one at least!

So IF one of the Vegas casinos were to buy Party you think it would open to the US? Not going to happen until it is legal to do so in the US.

party seems to be courting US based casinos and thus in the current climate NO WAY are they reopening to US, HOWEVER, all is not lost, IF a US BASED casino buys PARTY i double dog GUARANTEE they will get all their ducks in order and push extraordinarily hard for legalization and regulation.... obviously if a non US based company purchases party then all bets are off (no pun intended) and it very well could reopen to US customers, HOWEVER, and maybe someone more astute than I can answer, why would anyone in their right mind play on PARTY when their rake is CAPPED at a whopping $5 compared to say POKERSTARS capped at $3, it is not even close the place to play unless this changes especially with no RB at PARTY currently.....

Inertia and critical mass. Once a site establishes itself as the market leader it will remain the market leader unless something very substantial happens.

Maybe BECAUSE the players at PARTY SUCK a lot MORE than the players at POKERSTARS, so you MAKE get YOUR extra RAKE back in SPADES through a better WIN rate. CAPS LOCK is THE best!
