PartyGaming's valued at well over $10 billion, and PokerStars can't be that far behind them. I'm sure Cassava would LOVE to buy Pokerstars, but I expect they'll get short shrift. | | Static Link |

Ditto. I pray this rumor is totally unfounded. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Grinder at August 23, 2005, 4:46 am | | Topic: Pacific to buy PokerStars Forum: Bonus Whores | Pacific Poker parent company Cassava Enterprises is expected to make an initial public offering (IPO) in the second half of 2005. In March Cassava hired Credit Suisse First Boston to prepare the float, with an initial value of about $1.6 billion. If the IPO route is taken, the company would list on the London Stock Exchange.
Reuters and other mainstream press outlets have rumored that post-IPO Cassava would move to merge or acquire Pokerstars, the #2 largest online cardroom. Besides PacificPoker.com, Cassava owns the well-known Casino on Net/888.com online casino. The combination of Casino on Net with Pokerstars would create a powerhouse online gambling company.
Lets hope they don't force PS to use the Pacific outstanding software LOL [/b] | | Static Link |
