Kenny Rogers Gambles on Poker Site

By launchpoker, Apr 29, 2007

The man perhaps best known for the country and western song "The Gambler" is cashing in on that notoriety to launch a poker website called the Gambler Poker Club. Kenny Rogers, of Kenny Rogers Roasters fame - a fried chicken restaurant chain started in 1991 - launched the Gambler Poker Club as a spot for US players to play poker for free, even though they can win valuable prizes. Among the prizes being offered are a seat to the 2007 World Series of Poker, a seven night cruise, and a trip for two to Las Vegas.
