Magazine publisher Dennis – home of such venerable tiles as Monkey and Maxim – has signed a deal with online poker operator PKR to produce a quarterly PKR print magazine for their players.
The magazine will be the first produced by its new customer magazine wing, Dennis Communications.
The first issue of the magazine, which will be distributed free to some of PKR’s leading players, will be published in June 2008.
Dennis has already established itself as publisher of consumer poker titles with its Inside Poker and Poker Player brands.
This is fantastic news. Though Dennis itself may not have as high a profile as some of their magazines, that work is really known globaly for being of significantly high quality. Their magazines manage to filter into even the north american and asian market place with what some would call surprising strength of presence.
If you play the pkr product, ( and this is not an advert for pkr ), one tends to like it or hate it. It’s somewhat polarizing in this fashion.
The majority of us appear to like it, because its growth over the past 12 months has been phenomenal and it is really quite sticky’ with its users.
One would hope that other major poker developers will also get the message and provide more 3D type products of this class.
Personally, I am waiting for 3D poker on the iphone.
Do, i have an iphone? No, but I would buy one in a 3D moment if a 3D Poker game was on it.
Congrats to Dennis.
