The WSOP Effect Wears Off in Nevada—Online Poker Revenues Drop 22.5%

Another revenue increase is expected following the launch of 888 within the next six months.

The June and July figures were inflated by the World Series of Poker which provided WSOP Nevada with an unseasonal cash game traffic boom that saw it become the most popular poker room in the US state regulated market.
