We are copying an idea we have seen from another agent and running a syndicate around the Intralot Lucky Bingo product. Given the variable jackpot, we have created a laminated sign to promote the offer.
Four days in on our first week and this new syndicate product is selling well. It will take a few weeks to establish traction with our syndicate customers before we run multiple syndicates around the game but we are confident.
Why would you even bother promoting a company that has inadequate service,flawed products,one that lies to its retailers,lies to its customers,(thats when you can actually get in touch with someone from the company) what a shambles!!
Mark, we are also running a cheap Sunday night syndicate which contains a number of Bingo and Lucky Lines tickets. Each share only costs $6.95 (10 share syndicate). Lotto agents have some responsibility to educate players and encourage participation in the games. We have attached the Bingo brochure and Lucky Lines Brochure to each syndicate share to improve customer knowledge and interest. Over time game awareness will improve and we believe the entry price of $6.95 will encourage particpation.

i disagree with your commet, besides a few small porblems at the start i find my machine great i have 3 keno and 1 lucky lines syndicates running every week. i also do a lot promoting and talking to customers about the games. i have put the effot in just like we did with tattslotto when we first got into the bussiness.
if we all just spent a little time teaching the customers the games insted of complaining about the machines it will pay off in the end.
i find 90% of the customers that have played lucky lines continue to play and are enjoying it because they win almost everytime, even if it is just 1.10.
helen, i bet, if you spent time talking to your regular customers and ask them to give it ago, most of them will continue.
I find it interesting that Intralot is only selling about 1.1millon worth of product a week, well down on the 5 million a week they projected
