The Bob Eubanks $250,000 Game Show Spectacular is headed for Grand Victoria Casino in Rising Sun, Indiana.
Bob (hopefully) will be there to preside over the game show, which will be limited to those who get in via winning tickets at Grand Victoria this week and next week.

Bob has always been quite a shrewd businessman, going back to booking the Beatles, and in artist management in the world of country music. Bob had success with this type of game show presentation in the 1990s when he played it at "four walled" (rented) theatres in Branson.
Trust me, the "game show in casino" experiment with TPiR-Live has been wildly successful for Harrah's and Fremantle over the past couple of years. The show is already booked to continue in Atlantic City through most of 2006, and Harrah's runs additional promotions using a live Plinko game as well as other TPiR-themed events. Additional Fremantle/Harrah's news will be announced in the coming months.
While TV programmers express concern that game shows skew older than Madison Avenue's money, it's a perfect fit with the casino industry's money demographic.

It's getting to the point that to see a game show you go to a casino and to watch people playing cards you go to GSN.
