Ultimate Gaming Adds another Casino to Online Gambling Mix

ultimate-poker-nevadaAs of yesterday, it was announced that Ultimate Gaming will be working with yet another casino to provide online poker gaming options in the state of Nevada. Ultimate Gaming has now partnered with El Cortez, a casino in Las Vegas, to run the poker gaming for the brick and mortar facility. With the addition of El Cortez, Ultimate Gaming now offers their services for around 20 casinos in the state.

The El Cortez is a casino in Las Vegas that has a colorful history. The casino was first opened in 1941 and by 1945, was owned by organized crime members. In true Vegas form, the casino was associated with the mob until 1963 when the property switched hands. The casino was purchased by Jackie Gaughan and remained in Gaughan’s care until 2008 when Gaughan’s controlling stake was sold to Kenny Epstein. Gaughan and Epstein were business partners and friends.

The casino is now a member of the National Register of Historic Places based on its historical significance and a sight to see with its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. The casino will now step into the 21st century by offering real money poker gaming via Ultimate Gaming.

Speaking on the subject, Alexandra Epstein, the Executive Vice President of El Cortez stated: “We’re excited to join in this new venture and bring even more gaming options to guests of the property. By combing the online accessibility of Ultimate Poker with the classic Vegas feel of the El Cortez, we’re giving new and existing players a different way to experience the game of poker.”

According to Gaming Today, the El Cortez has already started to market Ultimate Poker to their customer base. Players have the option of depositing funds via the casino cage or cashing out any winnings from the site. However, players must have an account at Ultimate Poker to be eligible to do so.
