Adventura Gaming, a new boutique gaming company pioneering branded casino games that blend world renowned celebrities and brands with cutting-edge gameplay, is launching its casino table game, Penn & Teller Casino Monte, on March 3 at Rio Hotel & Casino. Creating an innovative table game experience with the beloved and iconic Penn & Teller, the game is poised to attract valuable new audiences to casinos as the first celebrity branded casino table game of its kind.

“We couldn’t be more proud to officially announce Adventura Gaming to the industry with the launch of our Penn & Teller Casino Monte, a groundbreaking table game that merges entertainment, innovation and the magic of one of the world’s most iconic duos,” said David Anthony, president and cofounder at Adventura Gaming. “By combining engaging gameplay with a celebrity brand that resonates with audiences outside of slot machines, we’re creating a fresh and exciting experience for players while delivering added value to casino operators,” added Cinnamon Booth, Adventura Gaming’s executive vice president and cofounder.

“Casino Monte is a brand-new table game that’s fiendishly fun,” remarked Penn Jillette, one half of the storied Penn & Teller duo. “When Adventura introduced us to this new casino table game concept, it quickly became clear—not only could we learn it and play it, but it was genuinely fun. I thought if we can learn it, anyone can, and they’ll have a great time doing it.”

As soon as they saw its engaging mechanics, Adventura Gaming was immediately captivated by its potential, and moved decisively to license and refine the game. Anthony and Booth said they’ve “loved the idea of Penn & Teller going all the way back to their three-card game shenanigans in Run DMC’s Tricky music video. So of course, we knew right away they were the only ones we wanted to partner with.”

Drawing in an audience with internationally recognized celebrity magicians Penn & Teller, and its original patented gameplay, Penn & Teller Casino Monte allows players to place a bet on ‘Penn,’ ‘&’ or ‘Teller’ and the higher the card, the better the chances to win.

Open to players 18 years or older and at any skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), the weekend camp gives participants the option to attend one, two, or three days of pickleball lessons and play that are designed to address specific needs, increase knowledge of the game, and help improve play in a fun and friendly environment.

The Nike Pickleball Camp will be led by Rick Witsken, a top ranked senior pro and co-founder of the National Pickleball League (NPL). Previously world-ranked on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in both singles and doubles play and currently ranked #1 on the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) Senior Pro Men’s standings, Witsken has won more than 100 senior and open pro medals and has served as director of over 50 camps. He currently hosts the “RipSken Pickleball” podcast and posts instructional videos online via the Midwest Pickleball club. He also founded the first public scholastic middle school pickleball team at Zionsville Middle School in Whitestown, Indiana.

The first day of the camp will focus on short and soft game skills, like dinks and drops. The second day highlights aggressive game skills, including drives, serves, returns, speed ups. The final day will culminate with strategy and positioning lessons.

All camp participants will receive a Nike Pickleball Camp t-shirt and prizes with their registration. They must bring their own pickleball paddle, athletic shoes, and water bottle. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by camp staff so that their personal instructional needs can be addressed throughout the weekend. Participants are grouped by ability first then by age per the camp director’s discretion, and adjustments are made as needed during camp.
