Online Poker Room to Open Brick and Mortar Casino

By launchpoker, Apr 7, 2006

A good indicator of an online poker rooms success in the poker industry is one players don't have to log on in order to play. MonkeyBet, an online poker, casino, and sports betting stop, is making plans to build a brick and mortar casino in Las Vegas. This would mark the first time an online casino has built a real-life casino. The location chosen is right next to the Hard Rock Casino and the folks at Monkey are excited about moving into this spot on the strip. It will be sometime before you're able to lay your chips down at a table in the casino, however, as negotiations have just ended in order to buy a parcel of land where the casino and resort will be located.
