Looks like Chili Poker's CEO is about to make an exciting announcement this week.  It's not about Chili Poker, per sey,  Alexandre Dreyfus tells Gambling911.com, but rather a new venture he is involved with.  Dreyfus sold the Chili Poker database to Poker770 back in March and the technology to Bally Technology in April.

Survey : is this week a good timing to make an announcement / PR ? :)

Last November, Chili Poker opened its poker site to US players via a free-to-register site.

In February, Chili announced a partnership deal with the Golden Nugget. 

Interestingly enough, Dreyfus was the first to announce the Full Tilt Poker deal had fallen through with Groupe Bernard Tapie this past April.  Things that make you go hmmmmm….

Based on past history, we can anticipate something exciting from Dreyfus no matter what.  Stay tuned.

…Zynga has blamed this past week’s financial losses and 40 percent drop in share price on Facebook.

Chief operating officer and ex-EA executive John Schappert had this to offer: 

Facebook made a number of changes in the quarter. These changes favoured new games. Our users did not remain as engaged and did not come back as often.
