Foxwoods was the first hotel-casino in the country to join partypoker net's satellite qualifiers. Raymond, as the facility's partypoker .net operations director, did not think she was taking much of a gamble by getting Foxwoods involved. Slot machines account for the vast majority of the casino's income. Table games do well. Partypoker, as a money maker, is near the end of the list. According to MSAE President, David Salzberg, the match-up is the a television match made in heaven. "Partypoker net and golf are a perfect match and offer tremendous broadcasting opportunities. This is a reality concept that will definitely resonate with viewers, participants, and corporate partners, and we anticipate our only real challenge to be limiting the field to six partypoker.net pros and six golfers," Salzberg said in a recent press release.
The WGL believes that the mixture of the sports will create a strong audience and will reach numerous target demographics for advertisers of partypoker net. "Working with Mandalay and what we're certain will be a group of recognized and accomplished partypoker .net and golf professionals will bring this next concept to life, and we can't wait to see those pros take their 'chips' from one discipline to the next."
Both companies bring a wealth of experience to the production side of the free partypoker net room, suggesting that the series will have great visual qualities as well as providing a fresh spin on an old television concept, the reality show. Who knows, with the combination of partypoker players and golfers, this could break television records if both loyal audiences decide to tune in. "If you look at the poker tables out there," she said, "You are going to see almost 50 percent of a 10-player table be under 35... They play with their hat turned around and their sunglasses on. They're all trying to act like their heroes on TV."
Then there are the women. "It used to be where you could count on two hands the women in the whole partypoker .net room," Raymond related. "Now, typically, you go around and you probably will find at least one woman at almost every poker table. I'd say they probably equate to about 10 to 15 percent of our patron base now, which is huge. And it's growing."
The next two weeks will be a crazy time in the partypoker .net satellite qualifiers. The New England Partypoker Net Classic is offering 15 days of competition in five different games, capped by the Partypoker Net No Limit Hold 'Em Championship that will include prize money well into six figures. That, however, is not the kind of action Snell likes. The Warwick resident has loved partypoker.net all his life.
