As an idea and a barn full of maps of Europe's largest shop for casino and poker was accessory.
As Detlev Erhardt over ten years ago a visit to Las Vegas, was done without any ulterior motive. As an employee at Activision in Santa Monica, California, took the opportunity from time to time been true in the player's paradise in the desert away. Erhardt also looking for something just distraction and not a profitable poker game. Poker, he plays only rarely, and when, he laughs, "then I belong mostly to the people who finance the winners."
The idea
The impulse to deal with a new business idea in Germany to build an existence, however, but arose in a casino. During a conversation with a roulette player Erhardt asked suddenly, where he is actually the necessary equipment could be addressed only if he himself wanted to organize some games. And further: What is actually getting their casino tables and chips come from? A brief search revealed that there is no dealer of its kind in Germany, and that apparently no one had tried to fill this niche.
The stable
"So I have two palettes with all sorts of what might need to casinos, packed and sent to Germany." Starting then everything in the online auction house Ebay, in 2001. Erhardt initially sold almost exclusively online, and for good reason: "We had no real bearing and therefore have the whole material kept in a stall. If someone personally passed, I was rather embarrassed."
The ascent
Nevertheless, and this is quite unusual, "actually ran the business from the beginning." So Erhardt founded the "Gamblerstore", referring to sales space and began to recruit staff. The poker boom in Europe, of course, did his rest in order to stimulate business, so that even today 80% of annual turnover in this area take place. Today, the team not only from sales and administration, also employs two carpenters and two interior designers - "for the specific jobs." And what does that mean? "There are people who want a poker table in the old style, because their body fits. So then what do our carpenters, "says Erhardt, and adds after a moment's reflection, adding:" But of course we must first ask what Old English at all means. "
The Masters Tournament Poker - Qualify for the WSOP.
And what was the most unusual job? "Have you ever built a table that is not burning and not from an airplane falls?" No, we have not. "We do. The order came from an air finisher. A poker table, anchored in an airplane. The number of Safety requirements for such a project are innumerable. " And how do you get with the fire under control? "It takes every part of a poker table, holding a lighter turn, and if it starts to burn, just looking for alternative materials."
Moving
In the last year, the Gamblerstore 5 million euro turnover made. "I am rather a businessman," said Erhard. In cooperation with Everest Poker Animazing held in early June a live tournament, where two seats for the WSOP to win are, as guests have the professionals Michael Keiner and Hans Martin Vogl, Stephan Kalhamer strategist, DSF Poker commentator Michael Körner and Kartentrick specialist Michael Dworschak. now moves to the shop. The new hall in Regensburg has an area of 4000 square meters.

Online poker rooms do not rake found there were already more times, but none had been successful. But there is no reason for PayNoRake.com, it is not still trying. PayNoRake, which is on the small network Playsafe Holdings (Action Poker, Tiger Gaming) is, promises its players at least 50% of your Rakes every day to pay back, but players earn up to 100% of your back if you Rakes enough to play. The site calculates how much rake a player has contributed (after the "contributed" method), and then there rakeback based equivalent. Rake the more you add, the higher the percentage of you will be reimbursed up to 100 percent. Although PayNoRake itself as a "rake-free" side, it is the only realistic view for serious High Stakes Player. World Poker Exchange (WPEX) was the last poker room with a rake-free system. With the thought that the poker room using his sports books WPEX maintain entnahm the company could rake in, but there were at the end of the week again and again to his players back. The game quality was generally viewed as bad, mainly because the side of very good players were busy with a rake-free side to appreciate knew. The strategy did not work long and WPEX has Rakebackprozentsatz now at 65 percent.
