Now you can not only watch the WORLD POKER TOUR® on television,
but when you go to the casino you’ll be able to play in a WPT-branded poker
room. WPT Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WPTE - News) and Foxwoods Resort Casino,
the word’s largest casino, announced today that Foxwoods’ newly expanded poker
room, set to open in late March, will bear the WORLD POKER TOUR name.
"It’s a very exciting landmark for the WORLD POKER
TOUR," said Steve Lipscomb, Founder and CEO of WPT Enterprises, Inc.
"This is the dominoqq when
our brand truly moves into the casino in a major way. We’ve licensed our name
to slot machines and gaming tables, and this is the next significant step-the
evolution of the WPT brand at the casino level. Poker players will experience
the WPT excitement first hand in an environment that evokes the cool, classy,
charismatic character of our show. We applaud our partners at Foxwoods for
continuing to expand the benefits of our mutual relationship."
A charter member of the WORLD POKER TOUR, Foxwoods has staged
some of the largest events in WPT history over the Tour’s four years. In fact,
Foxwoods was the very first casino to sign onto the Tour. Slated to debut in
late March, the WPT World Poker Room at Foxwoods will boost the number of poker
tables at the resort to 114 from its current total of 76. This is a more than
40% increase in the capacity of the existing poker room. The expansion will
allow expanded tournament offerings, which will result in greatly increased
prize pool totals. It also solidifies Foxwoods as one of the largest and most
prestigious casino poker rooms in the country and the only venue for poker in
New England.
"This is a significant step for poker and further proof that
the WPT and Foxwoods are a formidable team," said Kathy Raymond, Director
of Poker Operations at Foxwoods. "We continually strive to lead the way
when it comes to poker, and this new expanded state-of-the-art room will give
our players a truly memorable experience."
The new WPT branded poker room at Foxwoods will move to a more
expansive space located near its current poker area. New poker technology will
also add to the player experience, including use of LED table components,
automatic card shufflers and a state-of-the-art seating system. The poker room
will be smoke-free and will offer a new 100+ seat restaurant, adjacent to the
poker area.
