WagerWire Launches Sports Betting Marketplace on Red Rock Resorts’ STN Play App

WagerWire

WagerWire, a marketplace technology and media company serving sportsbooks and bettors, announced today that bet trading functionality is now live with Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) on Station Casinos’ STN Play. The STN Play iCasino offers hundreds of different slots and table games in addition to sports betting via Sports Plus powered by Sparket. Now with the WagerWire marketplace integrated, bettors can buy and sell their active sports bets at any time until the conclusion of the event. WagerWire announced in January of this year that it had partnered with Sparket, the Social Betwork™ that lets users bet on traditional sports, esports, live events, pop-culture, and beyond via a community-based social platform. “This is the beginning of a new generation of sports betting offerings,” said Zach Doctor, CEO of WagerWire. “Not only will STN Play users be able to bet on anything, but they will also have the option of selling those bets after the event has started, creating the next frontier of trading, engagement and entertainment. As a part of the collaboration, WagerWire also received GLI33 Certifications for our system integration with Sparket and GAN, which is another significant milestone for the company”. The Sports Plus sportsbook has been a breakout success for STN following the implementation of Sparket bets this year, helping attract droves of high value users to the platform. Users that play Sports Plus also tend to stick around and play more games overall and wager more coin volume. The addition of WagerWire is poised to turbocharge this growth even further, and attract new demographics to the STN iCasino. “Integrating WagerWire into our offering with STN Play and other clients opens a new vertical of activity once our pre-match markets have closed,” said Aaron Basch, Co-Founder of Sparket. “Now that bets can be bought or sold, live betting markets will be available to players, creating a whole new way for Station’s users to play.” The early results of adding WagerWire marketplace functionality have been extremely positive. Over 20% of betting volume is being traded on the market, and the sportsbook’s overall volume has increased significantly. Players that use WagerWire also spend more time in other parts of the app and play more iCasino games. The early results confirm the findings of an independent survey of bettors that found that 76% of bettors would spend more time inside a sportsbook’s app if bet trading were offered. This partnership comes on the heels of WagerWire’s partnership with sportsbook platform SB22, who also partnered with Sparket earlier this year. The Red Rocks Resorts partnership is the newest in a series of sportsbook rollouts by the challenger start-up who recently announced a partnership with Betr. STN Play is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. STN Play is currently offering 5,000 free coins for signing up, 10,000 free coins for each friend you refer, and the opportunity to collect bonus coins for each daily log in. Coins are also available for purchase. About WagerWire WagerWire empowers bettors to take control of their action and treat their bets as assets that can be bought and sold at any time. WagerWire’s proprietary marketplace technology can be directly embedded into sportsbook apps, and also powers the WagerWire app that serves as an aggregated marketplace of bets across partner sportsbooks. WagerWire also has a Media Network that generates daily content “By Fans, For Fans”. You can download WagerWire in the Apple App Store and Google Play, and find them @WagerWire on Twitter and LinkedIn, or @WagerWireLive on TikTok and Instagram.

What are Progressive Jackpot Slots? A Guide to Playing Progressive Slots at Canadian Casinos.

Acroud Media

As long as online gambling has been around, slots have always been the star of the show. They’re well suited for the online platform and have some excellent features and gameplay to offer. One of the most popular variations of slots is progressive jackpots. What is a Progressive Jackpot Slot? Progressive Jackpots were first introduced in the Mega Moolah slot, developed by Microgaming (now owned by Games Global). It’s different from a regular slot because it has a special jackpot, which is contributed to every time any player places a bet on the game. These jackpots aren’t just limited to the site they’re on either, as some jackpots aggregate across multiple casinos, called networked progressive jackpots. This leads to huge jackpots, which can be randomly triggered when you play the game. Sometimes, to be eligible to trigger the jackpot, you have to bet a certain amount, but this rule will change between games. There are usually different types of jackpots within the same game, with smaller jackpots easier to trigger than large ones. A great site which allows you to enjoy progressive jackpot slots is Spin Casino, read here to learn more. How to Play Progressive Jackpot Slots Playing progressive jackpot slots is no different from standard slot machines: insert your bet and spin the reels. If you hit a winning combination, your wager will pay out. Progressive jackpots usually trigger randomly, meaning you don’t need a specific combination to win. Sometimes, you must bet above a certain amount to be eligible for the jackpot, but this isn’t consistent. Different slots will have unique rules for play, so you should read through an individual game’s instructions before placing down any money. But, in general, if you know how to play a slot game, you’ll get the gist of a progressive. There are no guaranteed ways to win a progressive jackpot, and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably trying to scam you. However, there are some things you can do to keep your play fun and fair: Understand the rules for triggering a jackpot — you don’t want to make a bet after bet without having a chance at winning the progressive. Ensure you play at a reputable casino with a solid licence — you want to know that a casino will be able to pay out if you win. Make the most of all welcome bonuses, promotions and offers — some online casinos offer these bonuses on progressive jackpot slots. Tips for Playing Progressive Jackpot Slots Here are a few tips for playing progressive jackpot slots: Have a strategy prior to playing. For example, have a set amount to limit your play and have a time frame for playing. Don’t let frustration get the best of you, and take regular breaks. This will help to keep a level head and control your expenditure. Never chase your losses. Pick a safe online casino, preferably one with low deposit requirements, to get you started. Readers can find all the information they need to know about the Best $1 Deposit Casinos in Canada in our review. Popular Progressive Jackpot Slots Some of the most popular progressive jackpot slots include: Mega Moolah Megapays Jackpot Age of the Gods Jackpot Immortal Romance Mega Moolah Divine Fortune Pork Knox Conclusion The introduction of progressive jackpots changed the world of slots forever. Those huge jackpots are an exciting prize, and it’s hard to resist trying your hand at it. And even if you don’t hit it, the slot you’re playing is usually a good time, regardless. While the sky-high networked jackpots are attractive, don’t forget to give the smaller ones the time of day, too. Smaller jackpots are usually easier to trigger. And, of course, as exciting as progressives are, don’t get lost in those numbers. Take frequent breaks, watch your pockets and remember before all else to have fun.

The collaboration centers on a unique, stylish Flipped Padlock smartphone case designed exclusively for the OPPO Find N3 Flip by AMBUSH® Creative Director, YOON. As OPPO's latest collaboration in the world of fashion, the new campaign extends OPPO's commitment to exploring the frontiers of fashion through its compact yet powerful Find N Flip series phones. Through the collaboration, OPPO and AMBUSH® seek to reimagine the intersection of style and functionality with the new OPPO X AMBUSH FLIPPED PADLOCK, inspired by the Heart Padlock Bag designed by YOON. Perfectly embodying OPPO's brand mission, "Inspiration Ahead," the Flipped Padlock stays true to YOON's signature heart-shaped design, enveloping the compact OPPO Find N3 Flip in a trendy, eye-catching pink shade for a chic look.

By bringing together the powerful yet compact OPPO Find N3 Flip with YOON and AMBUSH®'s forward-looking designs, the partnership showcases how technology and fashion can be flawlessly blended. "I've been a sci-fi fan since I was a kid, and technology development has always inspired my designs. The return of the Flip phone trend has brought me back to the late 1990s, a pivotal time in fashion, when futuristic styles were on the rise, and people started using style as a status symbol. This collaboration explores how the smartphone, our most-used technology product, can become an extension of who we are. With the Flipped Padlock and Flip phone, you can be anyone you want to be, which is exactly what AMBUSH® has always stood for," said YOON, Creative Director of AMBUSH®. Like AMBUSH®, the OPPO Find N3 Flip fuses vintage and modern inspiration with its retro flip design and cutting-edge technology. In its design of the Flipped Padlock, AMBUSH® has taken cues from the sleek body and powerful performance of the Find N3 Flip to create a one-of-a-kind accessory that collides Y2K style with contemporary trends. AMBUSH®'s imprint on the Flipped Padlock stands out instantly, thanks to its heart shape and metal padlock handle. Like these contrasting elements, the Flipped Padlock allows the wearer to flip the script on any situation too. No matter the circumstances, a flip is all that's needed to unlock a boundless world. The OPPO X AMBUSH FLIPPED PADLOCK case for the OPPO Find N3 Flip is set to debut in December in China, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.

The Avenue of Stars Management Company

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 December 2023 - Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars lit up in the glitziest fashion on Friday night (30 November) as French fashion house Louis Vuitton took over the promenade for its first-ever fashion show in the city. Overlooking Hong Kong's stunning skyline, Victoria Harbour and the revitalised Victoria Dockside, Louis Vuitton's Men's Pre-Fall 2024 show was a nod to the city's cultural vibrancy and nautical past, and showcased Hong Kong's allure as a world stage for mega, cultural events.

The Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department also played instrumental roles in staging the remarkable event. Ending with a riveting light show above Victoria Harbour, where a squadron of choreographed drones displayed "LVers" (a combination of Louis Vuitton's monogram with the word "lovers"), the show sent a message of positivity to Hong Kong and the rest of the world. The event was livestreamed on Louis Vuitton's social media accounts, attracting over 10 million views, and is still reaching eyeballs on multiple social media platforms transmitting snapshots of the magnificent show to the globe. Hong Kong's international comeback as a hub for mega cultural events The Hong Kong SAR Government attaches great importance to enticing international and mega arts and cultural events, cultivating Hong Kong as an arts and cultural metropolis and tourist attraction.
