AcePlay Poker, a free-play online poker room offered by the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, announced this week it will be shutting down in November before ever shifting to real-money online poker.

Amidst the recent announcement that Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware will be sharing player pools, the news of AcePlay’s closure comes as a surprise as they will not be cashing in on the license to operate real-money online poker once held by parent company American Casino & Entertainment Properties (ACEP), which owns the Stratosphere.

In an $850 million deal this week, Golden Entertainment acquired ACEP. According to acePLAYpoker.com's blog, “The site is not part of the new company’s immediate plans,” hence its impending closure.

AcePlay's Run

The site used the Ongame poker software and offered players free online poker games 24 hours a day, seven days a week for chances to win promotions including show tickets, rides at the top of the tower including SkyJump, and other forms of entertainment at the Stratosphere.

The original plan when AcePlay launched in 2013 was to use the play-money site to build its brand and customer base in Nevada ahead of authorized real-money iGaming in the state. At that time, director of gaming development for ACEP Alec Driscoll said, “We are also positioning ACEP and acePLAYpoker.com for the potential approval of legalized online gaming.”

The site never utilized its gaming license to offer real-money games, however, and pretty soon, AcePlay Poker will be bowing out of the online poker market entirely.

In light of this news, WSOP NV, along with WSOP NJ, is looking to be the principal beneficiary of the recently announced liquidity between the first three states to offer online poker — at least in the beginning. And with Pennsylvania passing iGaming legislation this week, Nevada, along with the other three states offering regulated iGaming, will likely be attracting more suitors seeking an online poker license to operate and capitalize on the promising liquidity on the horizon, and AcePlay Poker will not be a competitor.

Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, said in a statement that 'a search warrant issued by a United States magistrate judge was filed under seal in relation to an ongoing investigation,' but could not comment 'on the scope or nature of the investigation' because of the seal on the warrant.

The warrant is being executed today by members of the Los Angeles High Intensity Financial Crime Area Task Force, which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations; IRS Criminal Investigation; the California Department of Justice, Bureau of Gambling Control; and the United States Attorney's office.

According to law enforcement sources who were familiar with the situation, the investigation was focused on whether Bicycle's gambling club was used to launder cash illegally obtained, reported the Los Angeles Times. In other words, this investigation should discover if gamblers used dirty money at the tables in exchange for clean money.

Kenneth Taylor, a regular Paigow player at the casino, told the Los Angeles Times the casino had not been evacuated. A casino employee was reportedly told that the casino floor would reopen at a later date so he could cash out chips.
