Ourgame to build an eSports arena in Las Vegas

Beijing-based Ourgame International Holdings Ltd. is building its eSports empire around the globe and its first stop, Las Vegas!

World Poker Tour’s parent company, Ourgame, are in talks with other Chinese businesses to build an eSports arena in Las Vegas, likely within a Strip casino, the company told VegasInc.

According to Ourgame CEO Frank Ng, the Strip eSports arena, if it would move forward, would be a 14,000­ square foot complex comprising 200 seats, a broadcast studio, and hundreds of gaming stations, similar to the one that the company has in Beijing. Ng added that that the project will require a local partnership, perhaps with a TV network.

Adam Pliska, World Poker Tour’s president, said Ourgame aimed to build an internationally connected set of competitions, like what WPT did to poker.
