Online Poker Company Excapsa May Seek London Listing

The company behind the Ultimate Bet online poker room may be seeking a London listing this year, in an effort to raise £75 million on AIM, the Alternative Investment Market. This is a rumor that was started last year in September when a new corporate advisor was added to the company, but gained new life when Excapsa Chief Executive Officer Jim Ryan recently paid a visit to London. Further reports suggest that as much as three times the subscribed offers were offered, a significant initial response.

Ultimate Bet poker room received management and software from Excapsa after the original software company was purchased…

Poker slang:

TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
RIDER BACK (TM) - A brand of playing cards that feature a bicycle rider on the back of the cards. Often used in home games. Compare: BEE No. 92.
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
