Vancouver Entrepreneur launches a whole new path for Bingo
Stephen “The Maestro” Kaplan, loves Bingo. He has discovered a wealth of possibilities for Bingo related entertainment and is launching two Bingo related products this summer:
- A Maze’n Bingo (the board game) and
- Pass or Play (The Game Show)
Kaplan says this will impact the whole gaming industry from Bingo to Casino, and from Lottery to Online.
Throw in a little TV into the mix and BOOM: Bingo Entertainment Empire!
A Maze’n Bingo is a Board Game that he says turns Bingo into a game of strategy. Pass or play is a Bingo Game Show that has five contestants involved in a very unique elimination game based on a Bingo draw. Both games are fully audience interactive.
The Board Game is in the process of two major undertakings for this summer:
- A Kickstarter campaign currently underway to raise funds to market, manufacture and distribute, and
- A Fundraising Tournament on August 23 (with qualifying games in the two weeks prior). This event will be a socially-distant compliant, exclusive event to the benefit of Make-A-Wish Canada. It will showcase and document the capabilities of this board game as low cost, fundraising games for non-profit and charitable organizations. It will be held at the Golden Parrots Restaurant and Pub in Coquitlam BC. During the Grand Finale’ the 4 finalists will compete on a giant outdoor game board and will be the pawns. A second half of that day’s event will be the debut of Kaplan’s Bingo Game Show; Pass or Play. The domain is up and includes a countdown clock to that day. Although they are both based on Bingo, both games are played entirely different.
From Golden Parrots Restaurant and Pub:
The Golden Parrots Pub is a family owned business who is active in the support of its community along with various charities and organizations. It is our honour to support our long-time friend Stephen Kaplan, a.k.a. “The Maestro” and host the location to launch. “A Maze’n BINGO” which is a take on a classic game with a fun and unique modern twist all the while supporting deserving children and families through Make-A-Wish Canada.
From Make-A-Wish Canada.
“Make-A-Wish Canada (unified with Children’s Wish Foundation October 1, 2019) creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Currently, we are granting some amazing wishes to deserving kids, and we are preparing to grant wishes at an unprecedented pace when it is safe to do so and your support is more important than ever. We are so grateful to our community supporters like Stephen. Eight years ago we invited Maestro to volunteer for an event and he has generously supported our fundraisers ever since. We thank him for raising funds benefiting Make-A-Wish and helping us grant wishes.” – Laura Ullock, Resource Development Manager, Make-A-Wish Canada, BC & Yukon Chapter.”

Hard Rock Bet Brings World-Class Sports Betting and Online Casino to Ontario
Hard Rock Digital announced the official launch of Hard Rock Bet in Ontario, Canada, marking the company’s first international market expansion and bringing its award-winning mobile sportsbook and online casino platform to players across the province.
Hard Rock Bet enters Ontario with a differentiated offering that combines a premium online sportsbook experience with one of the largest online casino selections in the market, featuring more than 3000 games, including top slots, table games, and live dealer content from leading providers. The platform delivers an intuitive player experience, fast deposits and withdrawals, and parlay wagering across fan-favorite sports from around the world. Ontario players will have access to exclusive Legendary Reward Drops at launch, as well as online Unity Points, which can be redeemed in the Hard Rock Bet Reward Store.
The Ontario launch reflects Hard Rock Digital’s commitment to building a truly local presence in Canada. Hard Rock Bet draws on the legacy of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, which has established itself as a trusted destination in the province. The company has an Ontario-based marketing team and a 24/7 local customer support operation to provide players with around-the-clock service.
“Expanding into Ontario with Hard Rock Bet marks the first time we’ve brought our platform to an audience outside the US. We’re excited to introduce Ontario players to a premium entertainment experience that reflects the energy and service synonymous with the Hard Rock brand. And by investing in local talent, local partnerships, and localized customer support, we’re creating an experience designed specifically for Ontario players,” said Marlon Goldstein, Executive Managing Director & CEO of Hard Rock Digital.
“Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa has the reputation of bringing people together for amplified entertainment experiences, and we’re excited to see that spirit extend into the digital space. The launch of Hard Rock Bet is a natural next step for the Hard Rock brand in Ontario, and we look forward to building on that connection with guests and players over time,” said Christine Crump, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa.
The launch will also be supported by connections to Toronto’s iconic music scene, including a collaboration with Canadian artist Choclair that remastered a celebrated 20-year-old track, “Let’s Ride,” to celebrate Hard Rock Bet’s arrival in Ontario.
Hard Rock Bet is available for download via iOS and Android and can also be played on desktop via HardRockBet.ca.

The rollout spans the majority of Alberta’s tier-one brands and reinforces the supplier’s decision to make the region a primary focus for the year ahead.
Since the market opened, 1X2 Network content has secured prominent homepage placement across operator lobbies, giving its studios immediate visibility with Albertan players from day one.

Alberta represents the latest step in a wider North American growth strategy, with its Canadian presence now spanning three provinces.
