Rational Group is considering adding a Full Tilt Casino to the brand’s offerings. The owners of both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker intend to expand into other online gambling options beyond just poker. The firm announced last summer that Full Tilt Poker would be remade into a fully operational online casino with slots, blackjack, and roulette in addition to the online poker rooms.
But Rational Group says the remake will not stop there, with plans to open a licensed sports book under the Full Tilt brand. If the sports book is added to the domain, Full Tilt will become the first platform under the Rational Group umbrella that offers a complete package of online gambling options.
The plans are not set in stone, but a spokesperson from the Rational Group confirmed the firm is “exploring opportunities to enter global sports betting markets to enhance our online gaming offerings.”
The company is currently looking for a supplier of online sports betting technology, with the goal of launching a casino and online sports book by 2015. Rational Group feels the complete Full Tilt casino will be a positive complement to PokerStars, which will retain its sole status as an online poker room. Players can easily transfer between the two sites, and that option is expected to remain intact with the new casino.
