Maverick Gaming Celebrates New Opening in Mountlake Terrace, Washington
Maverick Gaming announced the launch of its new “Ace’s Poker” room in the city of Mountlake Terrace, Washington. This exciting new poker brand is the first in the state and represents the continuous investment in Maverick Gaming’s strategy to redevelop and connect its properties across its regional footprint. Based in Kirkland, Washington, Maverick Gaming has acquired numerous unique brands and properties in Nevada, Colorado, and Washington. The multi-year plan is to upgrade the physical infrastructure, improve the overall gaming/guest experience, and rebrand as Maverick Casino & Hotel, Ace’s Poker, Dragon Tiger Casino, or Macau Legend. The integration of its properties showcases Maverick Gaming’s investment in local communities, including its long-term commitment as a community partner through its employee-led philanthropic arm, Maverick Cares.
“I am excited to continue investing in our local communities by offering great jobs in a new venue for entertainment in Mountlake Terrace. Growing up in Hoquiam, it was a dream of mine to build a gaming company in my home state of Washington. Ace’s Poker is designed to be a destination of choice for those who like to play cards responsibly,” said Eric Persson, Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of Maverick Gaming.
Maverick Gaming’s state-of-the-art property will debut with over $2 million in renovations, highlighting an investment in the local economy and workers. Ace’s Poker will employ 90 staff from its union-led workforce (Maverick Gaming is the largest private sector employer of Teamsters Local 117 members in the state of Washington). Each facility will continue to be an integral part of Maverick Gaming’s implementation of rigorous problem gambling policies which include a company-wide self-exclusion practice, which was one of the first in the state. Renovations and features of the new property include:
Larger than life wall mural of poker stars Eric Persson, Patrik Antonius, and Matt Su
Over 30 65” TVs for players’ viewing enjoyment

BOLDPLAY TITLES DEBUT ON MARATHONBET
Over 50 innovative titles have been added to the popular online betting platform’s casino game line-up.
Boldplay, the renowned developer of premium online casino content and innovative casino software solutions, has announced that it has formed a new partnership with Marathonbet that will see its full suite of 100+ titles added to the operator’s casino game line-up, with 50+ of those games available now.
As a result of the deal, games from Boldplay’s state-of-the-art slot selection and range of virtual scratch cards have already been added to Marathonbet’s lobbies, but the provider will also be offering table games, virtual bingo and keno releases on the platform going forward.
Marathonbet is currently licensed by both the government of Curaçao and the Directorate General for Gambling Regulation in Spain, with a further internet gaming concession from the Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) also enabling it to provide services to Italian players.
As such, the collaboration will now enable Boldplay to offer its titles to audiences in a wide range of global markets, many of whom will not previously have seen the signature range of Boldplay jackpots and engaging free spin features that have made the provider such a huge hit with fans.
Of the Boldplay games now available on Marathonbet, a standout highlight is the MMA themed Brute Force, which offers a choice of two hard-hitting bonuses and currently ranks as one of the studio’s most successful slots to date.
Speaking on the new partnership with Marathonbet, Boldplay Commercial Director Gary Francis said: “We’re very happy to have teamed up with Marathonbet in a move that will see our cutting edge game collection reach new audiences in a number of important markets around the world.
“With a wide range of Boldplay slots, scratch cards, table games and bingo and keno releases now available on the platform, our line-up already has something for everyone and will continue to get even stronger as we announce new releases in 2024. We hope that Marathonbet customers enjoy all that we have to offer and look forward to seeing how our games perform on the platform.”

BMM INNOVATION GROUP TO SHOWCASE COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED MASTER CHOCTAW ARTIST DG SMALLING AT INDIAN GAMING ASSOCIATION (IGA) TRADE SHOW APRIL 10-11
The Company to Unveil Original Artwork Focused on BMM’s Mission to Protect Tribal Gaming and All Who Play
BMM Innovation Group (“BIG”, “BIG Group”, or the “Company”), a technology conglomerate providing world-class services and cutting-edge solutions to the global gaming industry through BMM Testlabs, BIG Cyber, and RG24seven Virtual Training, today announced a collaboration with internationally acclaimed Choctaw Nation Master Artist DG Smalling celebrating BMM Innovation Group’s relationship with Tribal suppliers, regulators, and operators. The artwork will be showcased at the IGA tradeshow April 10-11 at the Anaheim Convention Center in BIG’s Booth No. 628.
Smalling is best known for his single-line, continuous drawing technique in which his pen never leaves the paper until the image is complete. The piece he created with BIG is called ‘Hand to Hand’, representing the vital relationship between the BIG Group and Tribal gaming. Smalling will be giving away signed reprints of the piece from 2-4 pm on Wednesday, April 10 in BIG’s Booth No. 628.
BIG’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Martin Storm said, “We are honored to be able to work with such an internationally celebrated and recognized Tribal artist, DG Smalling, to create artwork that reflects our deep roots in Tribal gaming and the importance of the BIG companies in protecting Tribal gaming and all who play through best-in-class product testing and certification, cybersecurity protection solutions, and compliance-grade training.
Smalling said, “I was excited to create this piece for the BMM Innovation Group. This artwork depicts the role of BMM as an agency of quality control to protect Tribal sovereignty from outside intervention; the intersection of Tribal nations, Indian Gaming, and BMM as a day-to-day presence securing Indian Gaming integrity, and thereby, its sovereignty.”
Prior to his collaboration with BIG, Smalling had already made a name for himself in the gaming industry. In 2022, he achieved the distinction of being the first artist to fully collaborate with a slot machine manufacturer when he teamed up with Incredible Technologies to launch Class II slot games showcasing his art. In addition, Smalling has played a key role in spearheading a number of corporate-indigenous partnerships with leading companies like Amazon, Gary Platt Manufacturing, Emser Tile Native Narrative Series, and APMEX. Smalling holds the distinction of being authorized by the Delaware Nation of Oklahoma — through statute — to create on their behalf.
Smalling’s art and honors include the Department of the Interior’s Operation Lady Justice; featured artist at Epcot Disney World: State of Oklahoma Centennial Show in 2007; Grand Palais “Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture á l’Eau” in Paris in 2011; and National Museum of the American Indian “Choctaw Codetalkers Celebration” in Washington, DC in 2012. In addition, Smalling has been commissioned to paint several portraits, including U.S. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, U.S. Congressman Tom Cole, and Sir Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the UK, among many other notable dignitaries. Some of Smalling’s notable commissions include APMEX Coins’ Asian Zodiac Series: Year of the Dragon (2024) ; APMEX Coins’ Grand Buffalo (2023); and Lady Justice of California Proclamation (2020).
