Leaders of poker rooms from all over the world, both online and offline, met for the world poker tournament in Budapest, Hungary, on Wednesday. The two-day meeting brought up some of the most important topics of the year regarding the legitimacy of American online poker, including a proposal for a state-run online facility in California. Other topics included player issues, global standards for tournament poker rules, and workshops on how to host the tournament.

Key speakers were Hendrik Knopf of bwin.com and Steve Lipscomb, founder and CEP of World Poker Tour. The discussions included the future of poker, the growth of the Asian and Latin American markets, the use of electronic poker tables at Land Casino, and the possibility of integrating online poker rooms. Of course, there was a debate that the foundation of the ongoing game was technology versus chance. 릴게임

The goal of the World Poker Tournament is to bring together live and online poker companies to build an understanding of the differences and similarities between them," said Don Kirkwood, the event's organizer. "Our conference was designed to promote dialogue and I strongly feel that in order for poker to thrive as a global sport, it needs to learn as much from each other as possible in both categories. In the long run, it will enable growth."
