WPT Enterprises Inc. has secured a pair of broadcasting deals to bring the World Poker Tour television shows to southeast Asia.
The World Poker Tour's first season will be aired on Macau Cable in Macau and feature the second season on MediaCorp, the largest broadcaster in Singapore.
The deal in Macau, a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, is important due to its status as a large gambling center.
"With the long history of gaming in Macau and the recent licenses issued to a number of international gaming giants who will build or run major new casinos, this area is only going to get hotter," Gary MacKinney, WPTE executive director of international distribution, said in a statement.
Los Angeles' WPTE (NASDAQ: WPTE) is the parent of the World Poker Tour and is a majority owned subsidiary of Minnetonka, Minn.-based Lakes Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: LACO).
