Downtown Las Vegas’ only Bingo room welcomes back players with new offers, Super Bingo in July

LAS VEGAS – Home to Downtown Las Vegas’ only bingo room, the Plaza Hotel & Casino again offers six daily bingo sessions starting today and will hold its popular Super Bingo tournament, July 5-7.

“We have greatly missed our bingo players,” said Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel. “Bingo is great entertainment for all ages, and bingo at the Plaza is popular with tourists and locals alike. While we have new guidelines to protect everyone’s health and safety, the fun and friendly atmosphere that bingo at the Plaza is known for will not change. We are excited to welcome back bingo, especially our very popular Super Bingo tournament!”

Originally planned for June, the Plaza’s $175,000 Super Bingo tournament will now occur Sunday, July 5 – Tuesday, July 7. The event typically draws nearly 1,000 people from across the country and as far away as Hawaii and Canada for the opportunity to win big playing fun-filled games of bingo over 2 days, with a super coverall both days, while socializing with like-minded bingo players. Bingo-only registration is $130 per person. Hotel-and-bingo packages start at $239 for a three-night stay. Register online at https://www.plazahotelcasino.com/bingo/super-bingo-registration/. Held in the Plaza’s remodeled ballroom, Super Bingo also includes an open bar during the sessions.

The Bingo room and Super Bingo tournament at the Plaza will operate in accordance with all regulations set forth by the Nevada Gaming Commission to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, including enhanced disinfecting protocols and social distancing during check-in and at tables. Daily session occupancy will be capped at 50 percent, and players will be allowed to enter the Bingo room in between sessions to reserve a seat. Super Bingo attendance may also be limited depending on requirements in July, so early reservations are highly recommended.

To celebrate the reopening of Bingo at the Plaza, Blue Packs pay $75 and Blue Coverall pays $300. The Plaza also continues to offer the Bingo Millions Megaprogressive games, Hotball Jackpot and Cashball Bonus. For a limited time, players can purchase the Million Dollar Coverall at 47 numbers or less.

Any player with a Plaza Rewards Players Club card is also eligible for Sizzling Summer Bingo Match Play which offers $75 daily Bingo match play every day in June, July & August (three $25 match plays per day and one $25 Bingo match play per session; more details available at the Plaza Bingo room).

The Plaza’s Bingo room offers six daily bingo sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is uniquely located two floors above the main casino. By parking on the third floor of the Plaza’s self-parking garage, guests have convenient and direct access to the Plaza’s bingo room without having to walk through the casino floor. Guests who are Ace level in the Plaza’s Rewards Players Club can also self-park in the former valet areas by the South Tower and under the dome, space permitting.

The Plaza also added more restrooms across from the Bingo room to enhance guest convenience. A bar and limited refreshments will still be available in accordance with updated Southern Nevada Health District requirements.

Wealthsimple announced the release of Wealthsimple Predict, providing retail investors the ability to trade event contracts on Kalshi. The standalone application is scheduled to launch this summer. Through the app, users will have access to approximately 4000 Kalshi event-based contracts in categories Wealthsimple is authorized to offer in the Canadian market, specifically climate, financial markets, and economic indicators.

“Prediction markets are the fastest-growing segment of global financial markets, letting traders turn an opinion into a position on the factors that shape our world – where inflation is headed, what happens to rates, or how the year unfolds. Until now, Canadians have had limited access. Wealthsimple Predict gives Canadians a clean, well-designed way to access these markets, with education and guardrails built in from day one,” said Brett Huneycutt, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Wealthsimple.

“Kalshi was founded on a simple belief: views on the future should have markets, and those markets should be available to everyone. That’s why we’re partnering with Wealthsimple, Canada’s leading financial innovator – to give everyday investors in Canada access to fair, secure, and regulated prediction markets,” said Alex Cuoci, Kalshi.

In March, the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) authorized Wealthsimple to offer event and forecast contract trading, also known as prediction markets. These contracts are regulated as futures contracts (derivatives). The approval covers contracts with a 30-day settlement period or longer, within the categories of economic indicators, financial markets, and climate. Wealthsimple is the second investment dealer to receive regulatory approval from CIRO for prediction markets.

To access trading through Wealthsimple Predict, new clients must complete a standard Know Your Client (KYC) process. Education is built into every stage of the experience, including a guided orientation of a client’s first trade. The app also shows users key disclosures and definitions, including trading risk reminders, contract resolution information, notices that positions can be sold at any time, and liquidity risk warnings on lower-activity markets. Wealthsimple Predict will only be available to Canadian residents.

Kalshi is authorized to operate in the US as an event contracts exchange, with federal authority from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the regulatory authority for the U.S. derivatives market. Prediction markets follow the same regulatory framework applied to other financial assets traded in the US, such as equities, bonds, and traditional derivatives, with clear rules for price formation, settlement, and governance.

MediaTroopers said it is preparing to launch in Alberta’s regulated gaming market on July 13, as Canada’s next regulated commercial gaming market opens.

The digital marketing and customer acquisition firm said it plans to enter Alberta alongside eight “premium operator” clients, which it said are also preparing for their own market entries. MediaTroopers did not name the operators.

The company said its Alberta offering will mirror its work in Ontario, including localized acquisition strategies, compliance-focused marketing, regional player education, and market-tailored performance campaigns.

MediaTroopers also said it has seen “strong interest” from Alberta players through pre-registration activity, without providing figures.

“Alberta represents an exciting next step for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Media Troopers is ready to support operators from day one,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Our experience in Ontario has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to enter a new Canadian market successfully, from compliance and localization to scalable player acquisition. With eight of our premium clients already preparing for launch and early pre-registration traction underway, we see Alberta as a market with tremendous potential.”
