As we can appreciate from the data provided by Applied Analysis, the game industry still suffering the consequences of the global economic crisis while the online casinos seem to be doing much better.

THE HORSESHOE HOTEL CASINO

One of the casinos with more history in the world is without any doubt the Horseshoe Hotel Casino located in Las Vegas.

This great casino was one of the main contributors to the poker development and it was the place where the first WSOP editions were celebrated, to be precise they took place there during 35 years.
That is why the Horseshoe is not only a point of reference for all casino games lovers, but also for all poker fans.

However, even though it is one of the main emblems of Las Vegas, this casino will be closing its doors on December the 14th. Its closure is due to the global economic crisis. Administrators of this game paradise have announced that the casino poker rooms will be still open, but no one knows for how long.

Therefore, this December the 14th is going to be a historical date for Las Vegas and a very sad day for all casino games and poker fans, as they will see how this icon will close its doors forever.
