America's Card Room buys famous operator for an undisclosed consideration A new announcement came this week from the recently revamped BetCris online poker subsidiary Americas Card Room that it has acquired famous Doyle's Room for an undisclosed consideration. Both operators are on the Yatahay network. Doyle's Room is one of the reputable poker rooms, founded years ago by pro poker legend Doyle Brunson, who decided to leave the company on May 13, 2011, probably due to the events of Black Friday. When he left, he took his name with him, requesting that the poker room should no longer use his name as a brand. Americas Card Room was one of the pioneers in online gambling, which unfortunately left the market after the UIGEA was passed in 2006, only to reappear earlier this year and once again start taking the US action. According to its spokesman, "We're very excited with the acquisition of Doyles Room and the resulting expansion of the Americas Card Room brand. Doyles Room's new software is proving to be a player favorite, and coupled with its recent success in serving US players this made the company attractive for a takeover. "Players and affiliates can rest assured that their balances are safe and secure and Americas Card Room will honor all of the existing Doyles Room agreements," he said, adding that they are keeping Doyle's Room's existing staff and that they are preparing better promotions and incentives for players, who will have the opportunity to take part in a $65,000 Rake Race and a brand new online poker series branded the Americas Card Room Online Super Series (ACROSS). In related news, a report came from well-informed Nevada newspaper The Las Vegas Sun, informing the public that online poker legalization in the US may not come as soon as some, including the Poker Players Alliance, think. Namely, the newspaper quoted Sen. Jon Kyl, an arch-opponent of online gambling and a member of deficit committee, who reportedly stated he did not think that a legalisation measure could be promoted through the Obama Administration's Deficit Reduction Bill, as the Alliance believed, and that he would oppose such a move. As for Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, a highly influential player on the political scene, he apparently does not have a mind for online poker at the moment: “Online poker, frankly, is way back in my head,” he was reported to say.
