I missed The Ultimate Guide to Poker when it came in last month. While we have it located with sports titles, it will not find its market if just left there. We are promoting it as part of our Father’s Day pitch – next to our Poker gift packs. We will also include the title into our displays with newspapers. We are also thinking of how we might co-promote this and other poker titles with the Intralot poker scratch game. All this may seem like hard work for a small category. Our view is that it is worth it because it promotes range.
Although poker still has a lot of interest, personally i think it is about 12 months late for going onsale the hype is just not there anymore .
