Cantor Gaming is launch a new poker area within its race and sports book at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, US.
Scheduled to open in May, the new facility is currently under construction and will feature eight poker tables offering live poker and live dealers.
Cantor Gaming will manage the new room.
Joseph Magliarditi, president of Palms, said the move makes a great deal of sense.
“Our decision to relocate the poker room to the new race and sports book was a natural one given the synergies that exist between poker players and sports bettors,” he said. “We are confident that a sleek new poker room will be a spectacular addition to our resort and one that offers poker fans the ultimate in poker playing experiences.”
“There is a natural overlap between sports bettors and poker players and by situating poker within the sports book we can offer customers maximum entertainment and convenience," added Lee Amaitis, CEO of Cantor.
