Donald Trump wants a seat at the online poker tables

Monday, 24 October 2011

Donald Trump and his business partner, hedge-fund manager Marc Lasry, want a slice of the online poker pie if and when it is regulated and legalised in the US, according to Bloomberg.com.

Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. and a hedge fund named Avenue Capital Group “will form an Internet gaming joint venture should US regulators permit such businesses to operate.”


Lasry is a billionaire who runs the $12bn Avenue Capital Group and is an avid poker player, reportedly hosting high stakes games involving big names in the hedge fund industry. Donald Trump is, well… Donald Trump.
Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. is controlled by Avenue Capital Group and would hold a 10% stake in any online gaming business.
