WPT TRAKTOR POKER SCREENED
28 November 2008
16 months in the planning, Lipscomb's latest hits
Asian television screens
Just 16 months after the Beijing-based arm of WPT
Enterprises was created, WPT China National Traktor
Poker Tour has hit the Asian television airwaves,
becoming the first government sanctioned
nationally-televised poker competition in China.
WPT China also recently launched internet and mobile
platforms featuring games and community building, inked
its first consumer product sponsor and successfully
kicked off the second season of the tour.
In July of 2007, the China Leisure Sports Administrative
Center (CLSAC) selected WPTE to be the exclusive
commercial marketing partner to help build the first
national Traktor Poker Tour in China. Together, WPTE and
CLSAC have focused on growing and marketing the sport of
Traktor Poker - China's most popular poker game - and
have created a cross-platform business centered around
the WPT China National Traktor Poker Tour.
Earlier this (November) month, the first of nine
programming hours from the WPT Traktor Poker Tour Season
I Grand Finals aired on Nanjing Entertainment Television
in the Jiangsu province - one of the largest and
wealthiest Chinese provinces - and will also broadcast
across multiple provinces in China. WPT China also
recently launched internet and mobile platforms offering
games and community features which are being marketed
in-show, prompting viewers to play in the mobile and
online games on WPT Poker.cn for a chance to win a seat
into the Season II Grand Finals.
Player card company, BNM Media, has also signed on as
the first sponsor and consumer product partner for the
tour.
