[casual_games] promotion

[David Thomson]

I know that the "featured game" slots on Handango are essentially  
ads, sold for a flat fee per week. Inventory is obviously limited,  
and it's sold on a first-come-first served basis. That would seem to  
be a more straight-forward option for everyone since it doesn't  
involve messing around with percentage points and most portals can  
already handle ad sales.
