Harrah’s is one of the top land based casinos in the United States with locations in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, and New Orleans. 888 is an online casino reaching the United Kingdom and other countries.

Harrah’s have made a deal to accept the software 888 uses, and become part of the Vegas gaming operators. They have developed many different online games like table games, poker, and slot machines. The move will also help boost 888’s business, as they saw a 14% increase in company stock after the deal was announced. Harrah’s has been careful about developing an international online casino presence in the last few years. They have maintained international prestige while remaining outside the United States.

A subsidiary of 888, Dragonfish will be operating the software for Harrah’s. They will be operated as a business to business subdivision of 888. The new deal will see online poker and online casino games on offer. The launch of the sites, due to be called World Series of Poker and Caesars Casino, will be announced as soon as the law changes.

Jerry Boyle, a high profile person in US gambling, has observed that the partnership between large land based casino operators and online casino software companies will be good for both companies. The software companies aim to find licenses, and do not expect it to be very difficult if US established companies are carrying similar products to that proposed by Harrah’s.
