Retail: Poker sets top Christmas wish list in Sweden

According to a survey by the Swedish Research Institute of Trade, top of the Christmas wish list in Sweden, is a poker set. I can only make an educated guess that the rise in popularity of televised poker tournaments, celebrity poker events and even charity poker competitions, has made poker sets the hot gift of 2005.

According to Svenska Spel, the state gambling monopoly, there are 200,000 internet poker players in the country.
