This morning’s FY Q3 earnings call from Harrah’s offered some hope for online poker players.

CEO Gary Loveman spoke of the possibility of seeing online poker legalized.

Not solely because of Tuesday’s elections, Loveman said that he sees the possibility of legalized online poker simply because the heads of committees don’t seem opposed to the idea.

“We think the world got easier on this one,” he said.

As for other online gaming, Loveman still sees a tough battle.

But baby steps.

Sounds like Harrah’s could have something up their sleeves that they’re privy to. Because they own the World Series of Poker brand, we don’t doubt they’re planning something to be ready just in case.
