60 Minutes to Air Poker Expose: 2
The screening for the expose in the show ’60 Minutes’ is supposed to air in
early November of 2008. What you may find interesting is that the story is going
to be running at the same time that the World Series of Poker 2008 finals are
taking place. The story is supposed to be pretty big and it is highly likely
that it could be damaging to the poker and online casino industries. The people
over at ’60 Minutes’ are pretty excited about the piece that they are going to
air because it has so much juicy information. UltimateBet and Absolute Poker’s
online casinos may not fair so well after this story, but only time will tell.
Poker Player Online, an online casino for poker lovers, released a story that
had a few interesting things said by its poker legal consultant, Wendeen Eolis.
She actually did nothing but confirm the fact that the expose will be a pretty
big event both for the show and the poker industry. 60 Minutes is also supposed
to have gotten an interview with Russ Hamilton himself who is the reported and
alleged center of this whole scandal. Although this is not a scandal based out
of online casinos it is definitely going to be a bit of a sting for all gambling
everywhere. No one likes a cheater and it is particularly damaging when it is
done from the inside. The only way for us to find out what the story is to tune
in to the piece when it airs in early November on ’60 Minutes’.
Online casino news sources, such as us will surely get back to you with the
latest news on this fascinating story. If we have learned anything from this
article, it is to expect no mercy. Eolis stated, “The ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent
Steve Kroft will be very well positioned and hard hitting as he methodically
peels the onion on every aspect of the scandals.” Very interesting, we for one
can not wait to see what happens.
