THE COMPANY behind Empire Poker, a leading online gambling site, is poised to become the next poker firm to attempt to make its stock-market debut, with a possible £500m flotation. Tradal, which has its headquarters in Limassol, Cyprus, is in exclusive talks with Numis, the stockbroker, to receive advice on its strategic options.

Sources believe that it will decide to go for a listing in London. Another option would be to try to raise funding on the debt markets. No timetable has been set for a decision on its future strategy.

Tradal is the latest of a number of poker sites to look at going public. Party Gaming, which operates the world’s largest online poker business, Party Poker, appointed investment banks Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Investec to advise on its options, including an IPO.

If it presses ahead, Party Gaming is expected to achieve a valuation high enough to propel it straight into the FTSE 100 index of Britain’s blue-chip companies.

Similarly, Cassava Enterprises, owner of the 888.com site, has hired CSFB to advise it on a possible flotation. It is reported to be considering a listing that would value the business at more than £800m. As well as 888.com, it also owns the Pacific Poker website.

The market got its first proper taste of the excitement delivered by poker when online betting group Sportingbet acquired Paradise Poker last October for £169m.

Since the deal was announced, shares in the group have more than doubled, and the company’s valuation is just shy of £1 billion.

Poker has gained a huge following in the past couple of years. The boom has led to the launch of a television station dedicated to the game, while this month the British Poker Open gets under way.

VANCOUVER, April 21 /CNW/ - Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. (the "Company") or ("LVFH") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. and CIBC World Markets Inc. and including GMP Securities Ltd. and Sprott Securities Inc. (collectively the "Underwriters") for a "bought-deal" underwritten private placement of Subscription Receipts ("Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of $8,000,200 (the "Offering").

Pursuant to the Offering, LVFH will issue 12,308,000 Subscription Receipts at a price of $.65 per Subscription Receipt. The Underwriters will also have the option to purchase up to an additional 3,077,000 Subscription Receipts on identical terms from the Company.

The proceeds of the Offering, exclusive of the proceeds from the sale of 2,497,100 Subscription Receipts, will be held in escrow pending the receipt of the certificate of articles of amendment of the Corporation providing for an increase in the authorized capital of the Corporation to a number of Common Shares sufficient to permit the issuance of all of the underlying Common Shares.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company's continued growth, to expand sales and marketing initiatives, for potential acquisitions by the Corporation, and for general working capital purposes.

Completion of the private placement is subject to receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. It is anticipated that the private placement will close on or about May 12, 2005.
