Thanks re Playstar's 40% take in exchange for free licenses of Casino system. It will be interesting to see how the deal affects sales for Playstar. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a 10QSB filed since March, so sales may not be much to write home about. When you talked about promotion in magazines, as a marketing plan for SNMM, which magazines did you have in mind that would reach a non-North American target audience effectively? And what up-front advertising cost would be required to reach a receptive online audience in the Pacific Rim (x US & Canada)? One aspect of reliance on online resellers who have a big upside commision potential may be the avoidance of upfront costs of paying for advertising in conventional media. Instead, the resellers put your name and casino link out on their various sites, at no cost to you (SNMM). That worked quite well for Amazon (although they now have radio ads). Also, if addressing an online audience, online media may be the best channel. Or do you see it differently? Doug (no position in SNMM)
