I’m trying to track down a handheld video poker game. One of those simple LCD versions that are like $10. Don’t care if it’s a 5-in-1 game or not, just that it has draw poker. I want to put together this little stocking stuffer for my aunt who is addicted to those things.

So far I’ve checked Target and Macy’s and checked the websites for Best Buy, Radio Shack, Toys R Us, Walgreens and CVS to no avail. Anyone have an idea of where I might find one of these? Anyone seen one in your travels?

Thanks!

[I noticed that Target has a couple of them.](http://www.nextag.com/hand-held-poker-game/search-html)

Radio Shack usually carries something as well.

Nextag’s info is out of date. Target’s website doesn’t show it, nor did they have it when I was in the store and the employee couldn’t locate one in inventory. Of course I mentioned that in the OP…

**Athena** , very original. :rolleyes:

Have you tried your local drug store (Longs, Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc.)? It seems to me this is the sort of thing that I’ve seen in their toy aisles.
