A new stopping rule, together with play-the-winner sampling, is used to select the better of two binomial populations. This procedure is designed to reduce the expected number of trials on the poorer population. Numerical results are given which indicate that this procedure performs better (often substantially better) in this sense than existing alternatives. Asymptotic mathematical results are also given.
