Redtooth, the UK-based pub poker operator, has seen turnover exceed £2 million, a jump of 20 percent according to Morning Advertiser, the pub trade weekly.
The report says growth in live pub poker tournaments was 47 percent in 2009 with over 80,000 poker players now registered with the company.
Director of the company Steve Saul told the paper that, "… our live pub poker business [has] been a huge hit for licensees and their customers. We keep things simple for the operator and we keep customers in the pub for the evening.
“There’s been a lot of talk about food being the big focus for pubs but operators mustn’t overlook the fact that people also go to pubs to be entertained. We’re offering a cost effective solution to those quiet week nights.”
