Former PartyGaming CEO Mitch Garber has joined Harrah’s Entertainment in a position where he will oversee the company’s online operations.

The announcement has some people speculating that Harrah’s is getting ready to enter the world of online poker.

“They won’t in the States yet,” a source told Gambling911.com. “But trust me, it will happen in the next two years.”

Details about Garber’s position are limited, but in addition to handling online business, he is expected to have some role with the World Series of Poker. Garber’s former company, PartyPoker, was a title sponsor of the WSOP before the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act forced the company out of the U.S. market.
