A Pooling Option provides a
LONG TERM SOLUTION
to declining interest in online games. |
|
OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVE
Game changes alone will not reverse this declining trend, as we
have seen over the past decade. A pooling option, which is a
permanent new mode of playing, offers the lottery many new
long-term benefits that are substantially more profitable than
any short-term benefits derived from game changes.
When used as an incentive, pooling gives each lottery the
ability to motivate players to purchase more plays of any base
lotto game. And, by offering more than one choice, it can
incentivize incrementally higher transactions. For example:
“Whenever you buy 2 or more plays you can get into a pool of 10
more plays for only $1 more,” or “Whenever you buy 5 or more
plays, you can request up to five pools of 10 plays each, for
only $1 per pool.”
Each lottery would have the ability to control the number of
required plays in the qualifying purchase, as well as the number
of pools and the pool sizes - generating dozens of exciting
promotional opportunities with all of the benefits listed below.

|
Independent focus group testing recently completed for the North
Dakota Lottery overwhelmingly supports the position that NOT
implementing this pooling option is costing each state 15%-20%
per year in lost opportunity revenues. Players will pay more and
play more - boosting the sales of any base game to which it is
applied. Players understand pooling, and it is an extremely
attractive incentive that will keep players in the game and
playing more.
It’s a simple concept that adds a permanent and profitable new
way of playing any online game. PoolingPLUS™ not only works with
state games, it also works with Multi-State games since it
doesn’t change the game in any way, and allows each state to
offer the pooling option as it sees fit. A PC-to-PC presentation
is available at any time to present PoolingPLUS™ and answer any
and all questions. [Click on "Request a Virtual Presentation" in
