The Cordish Companies and Caesars Entertainment Present $150K in Local Impact and Community Grants to Organizations in Pompano Beach Communities Surrounding ‘The Pomp’
The Cordish Companies and Caesars Entertainment have awarded $150,000 to organizations in the Pompano Beach community through its Community Charitable Funding Grant program. Established to provide valuable resources to communities surrounding The Pomp, a 223-acre world-class destination currently under construction in Pompano Beach, the grants aim to help local organizations in Collier City, Cypress Bend, Palm Aire and Pompano Beach make a significant difference through community revitalization and beautification, traffic and public safety improvements, and community service programs. Cordish Chief Operating Officer Zed Smith, Senior Vice President of Caesars Entertainment Troy Buswell, and members of The Pomp Community Advisory Board presented the grants to recipients at a grantee ceremony, held last week in Pompano Beach.
“The Cordish Companies has been committed to making a difference and creating a better future for those living and working in the communities in which we do business for over century. The recipients of these grants are driving their respective communities forward, making them a great place to live, work, play and visit. We are certain that this additional financial support will go a long way in helping them continue their efforts to revitalize and transform the greater Pompano Beach area,” Zed Smith, Chief Operating Officer of The Cordish Companies, said.
“Caesars Entertainment and Harrah’s Pompano Beach are extremely proud to continue to support local organizations in our community. The passion and dedication of each of our grant recipients creates a positive impact within our community every day,” Troy Buswell, SVP and General Manager of Caesars Entertainment, said.
“The significance of this grant extends beyond mere financial assistance. By involving community members in the grant-delivery process, McArthur’s Own and Salem SDA Church aim to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents. This not only enriches the initiatives that receive funding, but also equips the community with skills and knowledge they can apply in future endeavors. It is McArthur’s Own’s firm belief that the impact of this collaborative effort will be multidimensional—addressing social, economic, and even environmental aspects of community well-being. With its proven expertise in designing and executing impactful programs, McArthur’s Own is confident that this partnership will substantially contribute to a brighter, more inclusive future for Pompano Beach,” Jeanette Gordon, President and CEO of McArthur’s Own, said.
One of the largest developments in South Florida, The Pomp is a 223-acre project currently under construction 35 miles north of Miami and less than 10 miles north of Fort Lauderdale. Once complete, the project — anchored by Live! at The Pomp — will bring together entertainment, dining, hotel, retail, residential, office and lifestyle amenities, alongside the successful Harrah’s Pompano Beach casino, in one world-class destination. The development’s name, The Pomp, honors the local history and pays homage to the beloved former Pompano Park racetrack located on the project site. With the newly remodeled and rebranded Harrah’s Pompano Beach and Live! entertainment anchor at its core, The Pomp will feature 1.3 million square feet of retail and entertainment space, 4000 luxury residential units, two hotels and 1.35 million square feet of Class A office space upon completion.
Along with Live! at The Pomp and Harrah’s Pompano Beach, Topgolf will also anchor the Pompano Beach development with their eighth Florida location. The future Topgolf venue will invite players to enjoy the brand’s technology-driven modern golf experience to play point-scoring golf games in an energetic and fun environment. The venue will feature 102 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays equipped with Topgolf’s signature ball-tracking technology, along with a full-service restaurant, top-shelf drinks, rooftop terrace, a patio, music, private event space, and year-round family-friendly programming. Currently under construction, Topgolf is expected to open late 2023.
In Florida, Cordish was the original development partner of the Seminole Tribe of Florida for Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, two of the most successful casino entertainment resorts in the world. Further demonstrating their strong commitment to the State of Florida, Cordish recently opened Vivo!, a 62,000-square-foot dining and entertainment experience in Miami, and will open a 36,000-square-foot immersive dining and entertainment district at The Pointe Orlando, near major theme parks and across the street from the Orange County Convention Center, next year.

This is the next step in building a robust library of Caesars-exclusive games that players can’t find anywhere else,” said Scott Krell, Senior Director of Game Products & Head of Studio at Caesars Digital.
Signature Blackjack Surrender retains the same exciting and innovative features found in Empire Creative’s first release, Caesars Palace Signature Multihand Blackjack Surrender, including:
• Ambidextrous Game Modes – Left and right-handed modes where all players can enjoy a comfortable and ergonomic gaming experience regardless of their dominant hand.
• Brand-Aligned Design – Player-selectable table felts combined with the iconic Caesars Palace laurel wreath.

Caesars Entertainment Expands WSOP Online Poker Platform to Pennsylvania

Caesars Entertainment announced an expansion of the WSOP Online poker platform, now pooling liquidity in Pennsylvania with its three existing jurisdictions: Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan. The move positions Caesars as the first online poker operator to share liquidity across four U.S. jurisdictions, establishing WSOP Online as the only platform in the US where players from all four states can compete in the same player pool. The inclusion of Pennsylvania follows Michigan’s integration with Nevada and New Jersey on WSOP Online in May 2024, marking another significant milestone in the development of WSOP Online as the premier online poker site.
In addition to the announcement of shared liquidity across another jurisdiction, Caesars unveiled the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet schedule. The schedule will once again feature 30 bracelet events coinciding with the 56th annual World Series of Poker, which will be held for the fourth consecutive year at Caesars Rewards destinations Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip.
“The addition of the Pennsylvania player pool to WSOP Online comes at the perfect time, and we’re ready to give avid poker players in The Keystone State the opportunity to raise the stakes on their poker play. This expansion enhances the experience for players by building even greater prize pools that are up for grabs all summer long as a part of our jam-packed WSOP Online schedule. We’re ready to see who earns our largest online prize pools ever once the first hands are dealt this summer,” said Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Entertainment.
The first Online Bracelet event kicks off on May 31 with a total of 10 live final tables, and the final event begins on July 15. In 2025, WSOP Online will introduce an Online Bracelet Leaderboard, offering over $30,000 in prizes for the first time. Participants in the Online Gold Bracelet events will accumulate leaderboard points, with the highest scorer being honored as the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet Player of the Year.
Every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday of the series will feature an official gold bracelet up for grabs, from the $333 Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em event on June 8 to the $5,300 WSOP Online High Roller Championship on July 9. Last year, over $30 Million in prize money was awarded from Online Bracelet events in June and July. This year, the schedule is highlighted by six Mystery Bounty tournaments with $5.5 Million in guarantees.
In addition, exclusive satellites to qualify for land-based tournaments will be offered on WSOP Online, with entry fees as low as $1. These satellites will be daily single-table satellites and massive promotions, such as the guaranteed 25-seat Main Event mega-satellites on June 29 and July 1 where 25 $10,000 Main Event Seats are guaranteed for every event. Ten Online Bracelet events will also begin online, playing under a hybrid format, with their final tables contested live in Las Vegas at the WSOP. WSOP satellites outside the US are currently underway and held exclusively at GGPoker.
Players are permitted to play on WSOP Online while simultaneously participating in live WSOP events at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas which will run from May 27 to July 16, with poker’s undisputed world championship, also known as the “Main Event,” beginning on July 2.
