Not only did Mike Kosowski reach for the stars, but he successfully captured them in his life changing win at the Poker Stars Million Dollar Challenge. Is it Karma? Is he getting what he deserved after his sacrificial heroism in rescuing victims during the worst terrorist attack to ever take place on US soil? Mike Kosowski is a firefighter and was one of the first responders to begin rescue efforts during the 9/11 attack in NY City. During his rescue efforts, Kosowski injured his back so badly he has been forced to retire from firefighting altogether.

Well it hasn’t definitively been disclosed how soon PokerStars will release a mobile version of their online poker room, but based on the fact that they recently bought one of the leading mobile software development companies, it is logical to conclude that the next step will be the release of one sensational mobile poker room platform. The name of the software development company is Cecure Gaming. They were founded in 2000, and tasked with developing the world’s most secure mobile poker gaming technology. Cecure Gaming has had a tough year, which they attribute to difficulty in customer recruitment due to the difficult, prevailing economic situation.

Due to PokerStars’ high level of traffic, their gaming software must be powerful enough to handle the action. The same could be said should they release a mobile version of their poker room. It is safe to say that the traffic on a mobile portal would be just as significant for them due to their enormous and loyal following. So as good little poker buffs, we sit on the edge of our sets, awaiting the announcement of PokerStars Mobile Poker Room platform, and as far we are concerned, it can’t happen too soon!!

The word is out that Harrah’s Entertainment is beginning to place more focus on potential internet operations, in particular the WSOP brand, owned by Harrah’s. While Harrah’s is not necessarily confirming these reports, they did recently hire Mitch Garber, former CEO of PartyGaming, to head up the internet arm of their business. This is one of the first dynamic moves of a land based casino to enter the online gaming scene.

Many believe that the timing of Harrah’s decision was sparked by the changing political climate in the USA regarding online gaming. With ferocious efforts being made to legalize online gaming in the US by implementing regulatory and licensing policies, there is much anticipation in the online gaming industry that the US Online Poker market will once again become viable. Some are anticipating that online poker will be among the first venues to become legal, and are excitedly preparing to jump on board.
