Harrah’s Denies Garber Hire Tale
15 Apr, 2009 / GamblingCompliance Ltd. / Scott Longley
Harrah’s has moved to deny rumours that ex-PartyGaming chief Mitch Garber has joined the company to run an online operation which would incorporate the World Series of Poker (WSOP).A spokesperson for the Las Vegas giant said the company “did not have anything to share†regarding the Garber rumours. He added: “We haven’t announced anything, and we don’t have any plans to announce anything.â€
Suggestions that Garber was about to join Harrah’s have been circulating for months, and gained new currency when they were repeated in a Sunday Times story last weekend in the UK.
Garber left Party back in May 2008 having helmed the firm through a tough period around the time of the enforced UIGEA-related exit from the US market in October 2006. He handed over control to current chief executive Jim Ryan.
I dunno … doesn\’t sound like that much of a denial to me. But maybe … who knows?
