This change in the acceptance towards World Series of poker among players and poker lovers is now being looked in deeply for its effect on the economic ups and downs. The year witnessed a large number of entrants taking part in this poker tournament. Also the year also witnessed the second longest event in the history of this tournament.

WSOP being one of the major poker tournaments was rescheduled from spring session to summer session, when it was taken over by current owner Harrah entertainment in an anticipation of boosting the number of players taking interest as well as to speed up the slow business.

Vegas revenues suffered a huge fall by a startling rate, but the grown attendance of players in WSOP this year is expected to wipe off the tension of economic backdrop. Many consider that the popularity enhancement is the result of change in schedule, which was June-July for the year 2008. The extended time-span of event of this year has acted as a crowd puller and added to the publicity as well as popularity of World Series of Poker and the poker business in economic ways. This anticipation is one of the many reasons behind the analysis of the Las Vegas revenues.
