Eric Persson, in partnership with Bally's Corporation, has revealed plans to open a one-of-a-kind poker room and live-stream at Tropicana Las Vegas, the reported future site of the Oakland A's.
Maverick Gaming, founded by Persson, will bring a poker room to the Las Vegas Strip resort for the first time since 2013. The old card room, promoted by 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jamie Gold, closed a decade ago and was replaced by slot machines.
