Empire Industries Announces Merger of Leading Women's Poker Brands

Merging four high-profile companies in the gaming community, Empire Industries books over 100 events annually giving women a day-one advantage.

    COCONUT CREEK, FL, September 08, 2011 /Florida PR News/ -- Empire Industries announces the merger of High Heels Poker Tour, PMS PokerWear, High Heels Poker Tour Academy and Peace, Love and Poker Parties under its corporate umbrella.

A trailblazer in the multi-million dollar U.S. poker industry, companies held by Empire Industries are the best known and well-received names in the women's poker market.

"Women are the fastest growing demographic in poker right now," said Lauren Failla, co-founder and CEO of Empire Industries. "With 60 million players in the U.S. alone we make up a portion which is growing day by day. Part of my job is to bring women's poker to the next level."

Re-defining the art of poker in a male dominated world requires some game-changing measures. These four boutique companies take advantage of the specificity of each business with a new approach that seeks to expand the gaming market and create the largest female-owned conglomerate in the poker industry.

Co-founder and President of Empire Industries, Robin McCarty stated, "We have a responsibility to anticipate what women want and need, and we must constantly reinvent the game. Today more than ever, I think women demand to be active participants seated at the high stakes table instead of being passive outsiders."

Profound changes are being made in women's poker in terms of what is being covered, how it's being covered and how audiences want to consume it. Whether you're a poker novice or a self-proclaimed "expert" the companies of Empire Industries give women a day-one advantage.

In the past four years, High Heels Poker Tour has made strides in the poker community booking over 100 events and furthering its mission to promote women-owned businesses.

"My feeling is that we know who the top ranked female poker players are but we don't know about the women who are making strides but just don't have the means or opportunity to get their names out there," says Failla. "That has been one of our missions, to promote women and the women who play poker."

With its progressive voice, Empire Industries has the opportunity to be a truly vital source for a new breed of savvy, intelligent players and business women as Robin states, "I'm extremely energized and inspired that our concept will establish Empire Industries as a more significant and influential voice in the poker and gaming arena."
