Maverick Gaming Celebrates New Opening in Mountlake Terrace, Washington
Maverick Gaming announced the launch of its new “Ace’s Poker” room in the city of Mountlake Terrace, Washington. This exciting new poker brand is the first in the state and represents the continuous investment in Maverick Gaming’s strategy to redevelop and connect its properties across its regional footprint. Based in Kirkland, Washington, Maverick Gaming has acquired numerous unique brands and properties in Nevada, Colorado, and Washington. The multi-year plan is to upgrade the physical infrastructure, improve the overall gaming/guest experience, and rebrand as Maverick Casino & Hotel, Ace’s Poker, Dragon Tiger Casino, or Macau Legend. The integration of its properties showcases Maverick Gaming’s investment in local communities, including its long-term commitment as a community partner through its employee-led philanthropic arm, Maverick Cares.
“I am excited to continue investing in our local communities by offering great jobs in a new venue for entertainment in Mountlake Terrace. Growing up in Hoquiam, it was a dream of mine to build a gaming company in my home state of Washington. Ace’s Poker is designed to be a destination of choice for those who like to play cards responsibly,” said Eric Persson, Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of Maverick Gaming.
Maverick Gaming’s state-of-the-art property will debut with over $2 million in renovations, highlighting an investment in the local economy and workers. Ace’s Poker will employ 90 staff from its union-led workforce (Maverick Gaming is the largest private sector employer of Teamsters Local 117 members in the state of Washington). Each facility will continue to be an integral part of Maverick Gaming’s implementation of rigorous problem gambling policies which include a company-wide self-exclusion practice, which was one of the first in the state. Renovations and features of the new property include:
Larger than life wall mural of poker stars Eric Persson, Patrik Antonius, and Matt Su
Over 30 65” TVs for players’ viewing enjoyment
Over 5000 square feet of modern “Maverick Blue” carpeting

Continent 8 set to back Alberta’s iGaming operators and suppliers
Continent 8 Technologies, a premier provider of advanced managed IT solutions tailored for the worldwide iGaming and online sports betting sector, announces its official launch in Alberta, Canada. This growth comes after the province unveiled its competitive iGaming regulatory framework and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) issued comprehensive hosting and security requirements, representing another important milestone in Continent 8’s enduring dedication to the North American market.
With established operations in Ontario – where the company effectively introduced its Public Cloud solution in Toronto in direct response to the province’s launch of its iGaming market in 2022 – Continent 8 brings to Alberta the same level of regulatory insight, technical expertise, and customer-focused innovation that has positioned it as a reliable partner throughout Canada.
Alberta’s iGaming regulations outline specific hosting and data management responsibilities for suppliers and operators. For instance, every data centre utilized by licensees must obtain AGLC approval, which includes data residency, cross-border transfers, and encryption key management.
The province requires fully operational disaster recovery infrastructure and unalterable, encrypted backups, along with stringent conditions for quarterly testing and offsite storage—fields where Continent 8’s expertise offers instant benefits.
Besides hosting requirements, Alberta implements some of the most thorough security standards in the nation, such as mandatory MFA, compliance with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, yearly penetration testing, and extensive log retention mandates.
“Our heritage means we understand the rigorous regulatory expectations, and the operational challenges operators and suppliers face when entering new markets,” said Michael Tobin, CEO and Founder of Continent 8 Technologies. “Alberta’s standards are comprehensive, particularly around disaster recovery, backups, and security. We have built our solutions so customers can meet these requirements confidently from day one. We are excited to support customers as Alberta opens its market and continues Canada’s growth story.”
