Many people go to different bars every night of the week just to participate. With the loud noise and all the TVs full of lyrics - Karaoke transforms your place into, well, a Karaoke place. While most people like Karaoke some of the time, most people don't like it most of the time. Loud noise and crappy singers cause regular customers to leave and not come back as often. Do you sing? What's the point of listening to others then...
Cash prizes are a must for committing players to tournements that last hours. Poker is much quieter then Karaoke and doesn't chase off regular customers with noise. Poker games are long and require you to be there at a specific time to start. Most people want to drink a couple beers and play a game that lasts 15 or 20 minutes - not 2 hours or more.
Trivia doesn't produce rude and loud noise like Karaoke does chasing regular customers away. Trivia is interactive just like poker allowing everyone to play - but doesn't last so darned long. Different games provide questions from categories suited to sports, music, TV and much more. Banners on TV and phones allow you to promote menu items and advertise scheduled events. Trivia also connects players to your establishment and keeps them coming back for more.
