By Paul Jarvis
Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- PartyGaming Plc, the owner of the
PartyPoker Web site, agreed to buy MultiPoker for $14.5 million
to gain ownership of one of its four marketing partners.
Arrangements with two of the company's other so-called
``skin'' partners, IntertopsPoker.com and Coral Eurobet, are
ending, PartyGaming said today in a Regulatory News Service
statement. Coral is leaving the PartyGaming platform, while
IntertopsPoker will become an affiliate of PartyPoker, it said.
Gibraltar-based PartyGaming last week said it may buy Empire
Online Ltd., the fourth of the ``skins,'' after excluding all
four of its partners from its upgraded poker platform.
