PartyGaming CEO Addresses Gaming Executive Summit
9th July 2009
Madrid, Spain
PartyGaming CEO, Jim Ryan, spoke at the Gaming Executive Summit earlier today.
Mr Ryan said "The world is changing as regulation takes different shape in different markets. But upcoming regulation means new entrants and competition in the market, and I worry less about direct competitors such as those sitting on this panel than I do about government-licensed operators and major media firms targeting their power markets in the future.”
Also on the panel were Bwin co-chief executive Norbert Teufelberger, 888 chief executive Gigi Levy and Playtech chief executive Mor Weizer.

Poker push to be ranked with Melbourne Cup, GP, by Michael Warner - Herald Sun - 8th July 2009
Crown casino wants its annual Aussie Millions poker tournament given official status on the major events calendar.
Casino chiefs have confirmed they are planning a submission to the Victoria Major Events Company.
If successful, Crown could be eligible for funding under the State Government's $83 million major events cap like the Formula One Grand Prix, Australian Open tennis and Australian Masters golf.
But Crown CEO David Courtney says the casino does not want financial support -- just official recognition.
"Crown is not looking for funding or subsidy from the Government -- far from it. "But we believe the Aussie Millions meets the criteria for a major event in Victoria and we would like to see it given that status alongside the Spring Racing Carnival and the other major events here," Mr Courtney said.
The move will require final approval from a Cabinet sub-committee.
Industry sources say the casino will have little trouble demonstrating that the Aussie Millions delivers significant economic benefits to Victoria, as required under qualification criteria.
It attracts thousands of international and interstate participants and generates more than 8000 hotel room nights.
The Herald Sun revealed on Saturday that Crown has raised the first prize purse for next January's Aussie Millions to $2.5 million - making it the nation's second-biggest first prize event behind the Melbourne Cup.
Anti-gambling groups yesterday scoffed at suggestions a poker championship could offer either cultural or social benefits.
"Why don't we make Sexpo a major event as well?" the Rev Tim Costello said.
"There's a fundamental difference between a major sporting event that excites and transcends our human condition than a gambling tournament."
Australian world poker champion Joe Hachem told the Herald Sun from Las Vegas the Aussie Millions was worthy of major event status.
"It deserves the title as one of Australia's majors alongside the Australian Open, Spring Racing Carnival and F1 Grand Prix," Hachem said.

The Genius
The experts at PartyPoker.com have tapped into the brilliance of the finest scientific minds around to formulate a new promotion that's absolute genius.
Starting on Monday, 6th July, we're going to square the pot of every 50,000th hand that's played on our cash tables to create some mind-blowing jackpots, from a minimum of $100 up to staggering $5,000. Better still, everyone involved in the hand will get an equal share of the payout, while the winner will also take the original pot.
That's not all. Every millionth hand during The Genius will have a guaranteed $10,000 prize pool and the final 10 millionth hand of the promotion will be worth an astounding guaranteed $100,000. All the players dealt into these special Genius hands will share these fantastic cash prizes.
The promotion runs for 10 million hands, counted from 12:00 ET on Monday, 6th July.
Here's how it works:
If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $70, we'll square it to give all the players an equal share of $4,900: $70 x $70 = $4,900
If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $20, we'll square it to give all the players an equal share of $400: $20 x $20 = $400
If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $8, we'll give all the players an equal share of $100 (the minimum Genius jackpot)
