It’s official today. 24hPoker, which has recently had its fair share of attention from the Swedish government and investors, has joined forces with Martinspoker.com, announcing the creation of the Casablanca Gaming Group, which will operate the online gaming while 24hPoker proceeds to focus more heavily on its supplier operations.

24hPoker had signed a letter of intent to form the gaming group on August 20, 2007.

The new company will include some of the most established brands in the Scandinavian online gaming market: 24hPoker.com, Martinspoker.com, Staffpoker.com and Danepoker.com. Through coordinated marketing activities the brands will become even more competitive and 24hPoker.com can grow in an organization fully focused on the consumer. The gaming operations will be operated by a subsidiary in Malta.
