WATERSMEET, Mich., June 17, 2022 (Newswire.com)

The Chairman’s Open was held at Lac Vieux Desert Northern Waters Casino Resort on June 11 & 12 at Watersmeet, Michigan, with 46 teams of four golfers participating in this year’s two-day scramble event. The proceeds from the event are used to help facilitate a scholarship fund for the Lac Vieux Desert Tribal Member College Students and include many donations from participating area businesses, vendors, and community members. In a tournament that goes back to 2008, over the last several years more than 50 college students have been assisted with their ongoing educational needs from scholarship grants that have come from this tournament. This is an event that generally fills up nearly a year in advance of the actual tournament date and draws players and teams from numerous states, including members from other Tribal Nations.

A new twist to this year’s event featured a demonstration version of Video King’s and Parlay Games, Inc.’s brand new Class II Bingo Treasures^TM game, that the companies collaboratively developed, and which recently received GLI certification. The golfers played a game of Bingo Treasures^TM each day after golf for exciting cash prizes donated by Video King and Parlay. Each golfer received a free bingo card at the start of the golf each day and could make donations to the Charity throughout the day to receive additional bingo cards and have additional chances to win the Bingo Treasures^TM prizes.

“While we played a demonstration version of Bingo Treasures^TM for the golf tournament, we are currently putting together contracts with Video King to launch this tribally linked bingo product within our properties,” said LVD Tribal Chairman James Williams Jr. “We have the same vision that Video King and Parlay have for linked tribal games, and we are super excited about becoming a founding tribal partner for this brand new Class Il linked bingo gaming platform, that will feature potential multi-million dollar weekly jackpots and fabulous guaranteed prizes,” commented Williams. “Even Chairman Stevens from the Indian Gaming Association, who played golf in my event, got into the Bingo Treasures^TM game. While Chairman Stevens didn’t ultimately win in bingo, he loves Class II games, and appreciates the innovative games that vendors like Video King and Parlay Games are developing exclusively for the Sovereign Indian Tribes in the U.S.,” said Williams.

VKGS LLC, “Video King”, and Parlay Games Inc. announced the certification by Gaming Laboratories International (“GLI”) of their national, tribally linked, flagship Class II bingo product: Bingo Treasures^TM (patent pending). With the completion of GLI’S certification and filing of a patent application with the USPTO, Video King has commenced licensing this suite of Class II linked iGaming products to Tribal customers throughout the United States. The partners previously announced their collaboration to create a new, tribally linked Class II bingo game with multi-million dollar weekly prize jackpots. Both companies have now combined their efforts and synergistic intellectual property assets into a new joint venture.     

“With the GLI approval in hand, we will now be working quickly to finalize license agreements and installation dates with Tribes who will be first movers with us and who will launch Bingo Treasures^TM at any facility (not just gaming facilities) on their Tribal lands,” said Rusty Morin, Chief Financial Officer of Video King. “The combination of the game’s Class II Bingo software certification and patent-pending methodologies enable us to create a multi-billion dollar, national game, which will only be offered by US Sovereign Nation Indian Tribes, for play from their tribal lands.” 

“By linking Tribes together throughout the U.S., as Tribal partnerships accelerate, the Weekly Millions^TM game jackpots, which will start at $2M, can potentially top $100M based on the game odds. In addition, Bingo Treasures^TM innovative two-part style of play gives players multiple chances to win with each purchase. Players are not only playing for free bingo cards and attractive cash prizes in the PlayNow^TM portion of the Game, but also are playing for potential life-changing jackpots, cars and other substantial prizes, which will be guaranteed every week. We anticipate that player and Tribal participation are sure to grow as players become aware of Bingo Treasures^TM and additional Tribes understand the Game’s ability to bring in players more frequently, create add-on purchases, as well as attracting new players,” continued Morin.   

The partners are excited to empower Tribes with the ability to offer bingo cards for purchase from any facilities that have point-of-sale systems located on tribal lands, including gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, golf courses, bars, smoke shops, and casinos. The configurable settings in the game system will also allow the Tribes to decide on the amounts and the type of facilities where winning bingo cards can be redeemed, which allows for controls and the ability to drive foot traffic to particular destinations.
