March 21, 2023 EIN PRESSWIRE: Watersmeet, MI, Omaha, Nebraska and Burlington, Ontario
VKGS LLC (“Video King”) and Parlay Games Inc. (Parlay”) are pleased to announce that the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians Public Enterprise and Finance Commission (Lac Vieux Desert), has become the latest Indian Gaming Enterprise to enter into a Managed Services Agreement to participate in the launch of Bingo TreasuresTM . Lac Vieux Desert operates a beautiful destination resort near Watersmeet, Michigan, which includes the Northern Waters Casino, the Dancing Eagles Hotel, and the Lac Vieux Desert Golf Course, all nestled into the beautiful Ottawa National Forest. Guests get to enjoy all the amenities of a first-class Casino/Resort/Golf Course while also experiencing beautiful scenery, lakes, wildlife and outdoor activities of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Lac Vieux Desert becomes our fourth Bingo Treasures founding member, joining Jamul Casino, Prairie Band Casino, and Soaring Eagle Casino.
“Getting this partnership done with Lac Vieux Desert, is exciting said Rusty Morin, Vice President of Video King. “Chairman James Williams, Jr. and his team at Northern Waters Casino, became interested in Bingo TreasuresTM during our sales launch of the product last summer. We were able to expose the concept of the Bingo TreasuresTM game to many of the Upper Midwest tribal leaders that played in the Chairman’s Open golf tournament in June 2022, that is held annually at the Lac Vieux Desert Golf Course. For this initial opportunity that helped kickstart the Game and started to help build the network of participating tribes, Video King and Parlay Games will be forever grateful to Chairman Williams, and why the signing of Lac Vieux Desert is extra special”, said Morin.
Lac Vieux Desert Chairman James Williams, Jr. said “when we learned that Video King’s Bingo Treasures linked Class II bingo game would have weekly multi-million dollar prizes, and was being created exclusively for the US Indian Tribes to offer from our lands, we knew that this was something we wanted to bring to our properties. In addition, the fact that the live weekly ball draw will be conducted from different tribal properties, is another aspect of the game that we really like. We know the host facilities conducting the weekly draw, will be able to create entertaining events and promotions that guests will love to participate in, and we believe these events can increase traffic to our hotels, restaurants, casinos and resorts. We are always looking for innovative products that assist with the growth of Indian gaming and help our Tribe, and believe Bingo TreasuresTM has the potential to be huge for the Sovereign Indian Tribes in the US.”
When the game launches, players will be able to purchase their weekly bingo cards from any participating tribal facility located on Tribal lands held in trust, including casinos, hotels, restaurants, gift shops, smoke shops, golf courses, convenience stores and gas stations. The game has two parts, which gives players two chances to win huge prizes in two different bingo games. In addition, players are able to customize their bingo card with their favorite eight numbers or through a quick pick feature, such that the eight numbers chosen are always contained in the common game ending pattern of the Letter X, that determines the winner of each game. Bingo TreasuresTM patent pending system manufactures and prints a unique 5 x 5 bingo card for each player purchase.
Bingo TreasuresTM is offered by Video King and Parlay , who combined their efforts and synergistic intellectual property assets into a new joint venture in 2021. The joint venture partners are also working to offer additional Class II games in the future, to be played from tribal lands, which will leverage the attributes of the tribal network that is being created with Bingo TreasuresTM.
The Companies are in active negotiations with numerous otherTribes, to add Bingo TreasuresTM to their tribal facilities and to grow the network throughout the United States. The Companies will present Bingo TreasuresTM along with many of their other gaming products at the 2023 Indian Gaming Association Convention, being held in San Diego, California from March 28-30th and invite all interested parties to visit us at booth #1013.
