The popularity of poker has been put under the microscope recently due to falling ratings and the saturation of TV shows. But this hasn't stopped the big guys of the online poker world from announcing huge £1 billion floatations.

Online poker site, Pokerstars.com, is the latest one on the block. The second biggest poker site online, pokerstars will be following in the footsteps of Party Poker, Empire Online and 888.com as they look to take themselves to the london Stock Exchange at the end of the year.

Its early days yet, but it'll be interesting to see if the current press has any affect on potential shareholders interest in the float. Although its highly unlikely.
