Betmotion, the leading local Latin American gambling site dedicated to Sportsbook, Lotteries, Casino and Bingo games, has expanded into the Peruvian market with a custom-created Melcochita branded Video Bingo title. Betmotion proudly presents the beloved Peruvian comedian’s very own bingo title that invites players into a virtual theatre for feel-good entertainment. Melcochita promises to share witty stories while the audience sit back to enjoy bingo and a belly of laughs.

Melcochita Bingo is a 90-ball Video Bingo game, which can be played with a maximum of four 5×3 tickets per game. There are 10 different winning prize patterns, in addition to the classic lines and Bingo prizes. Players have an opportunity to earn 10 extra balls per draw to help complete patterns. A jackpot prize is available for those players daring to complete the Bingo pattern with just the initial draw – it’ll be worth it for those who can step up to the challenge.

The Peruvian market is estimated to be worth upwards of $1.5bn and has local characteristics that shape player behaviours. Partnering with the cultural icon Melcochita means that Betmotion is certain to prove a popular operator in the region. The company operates on several fronts and works with more than 40 providers, offering over 3,500 games in different areas, such as sports betting, lotteries, bingo and casino, among other activities.

Betmotion.com’s COO Luis Traversa said: “Melcochita is a cultural hero in Peru and it’s been a pleasure working with him to deliver this localised title. Betmotion is built and run by South Americans, we truly understand the subtle player nuances between the regions. This commitment to a localised strategy ensures we continue strengthening our position in the LatAm market.”

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.

On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.

In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.

As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.

Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.

A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.

“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
