World Poker Tour Enterprises and Chilipoker.com today announced a joint deal to bring the World Poker Tour to Marrakech, Morocco for the next three years.
The event will be held at the glamourous Casino de Marrakech in October. It will be the first time the tour has stopped in Africa, having already touched down in countries such as Spain, France, and China.
Satellites for the televised event will begin this month on Chilipoker.com and on the iPoker network.
Alexandre Dreyfus, chief executive officer of Chilipoker, said “Chilipoker is delighted to be associated with a world-renowned brand like the World Poker Tour in the creation of this unique and attractive event. With the creation of WPT Marrakech, Chilipoker also intends to emphasize Marrakech’s attributes as a highly desirable destination for European and African poker players.”
In February Chilipoker announced it was partnering with French Internet service provider Iliad ahead of the regulation of online gaming in France while World Poker Tour Enterprises recently announced its 2008 revenues had fallen.
