Earlier today, the World Poker Tour (WPT) announced that it had been acquired by Ourgame International Holdings Ltd. for a price of $35 million.
The news sparks a change for the industry, as the WPT is one of the leading poker tours. Now that the WPT is no longer officially tied to just one real-money gaming (RMG) operator, the doors have opened and the tour will now be able to partner with any RMG operator it pleases.
"The new deal allows us to work with anyone now," WPT President & CEO Adam Pliska told PokerNews.
