Bet Rite and Gaming Arts have celebrated making another Canadian player a millionaire after a player hit the Bingo Millions game jackpot at Club Regent Casino in Winnipeg, Manitoba. 

Gaming Arts, the developer of the bingo title, partnered with Bet Rite, which serves as the game’s principal distributor, back in 2018 to offer land-based casinos innovative titles.

Bingo Millions first hit the casinos in December 2022 when Casinos of Winnipeg, the operator of Club Regent Casino, became the first company to take the game on board. 

Now all stakeholders have come together to mark a player who has struck the jackpot, winning $1million in the process.

Bet Rite President Billy MacLellan said: “As the Canadian distributor for Bingo Millions, we, along with the game’s creator Gaming Arts, congratulate Monica on winning the first $1 million Bingo Millions jackpot in Canada. We are proud of our ongoing partnership with the Casinos of Winnipeg and delighted to see the $1 million win occur right here in the heart of the country, Winnipeg, Manitoba.”

The player, Monica, won the jackpot by covering all her Bingo Millions card in the first 47 numbers or less. Meanwhile, the other big Bingo Millions prize levels include: cover all in 48 numbers for $25,000; cover all in 49 numbers for $10,000; cover all in 50 numbers for $5,000. 

Bingo is, of course, a much loved gaming vertical in Canada with bingo halls nationwide but Bet Rite has told Canadian Gaming Business that Bingo Millions takes this to the next level by offering a “life changing” opportunity to players with the big prizes on offer. 

Ranking as one of the top jackpot payouts in the North American bingo game segment, Bingo Millions has only ever been won twice, but other lower tiers of prizes have been won on a more frequent basis.

“We are thrilled that Monica won the first $1 million Bingo Millions jackpot at Casinos of Winnipeg,” said James Anastasio, Executive Vice President, Gaming & Entertainment, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. “We hope this prize will help Monica and her family achieve their dreams. Bingo Millions has been extremely popular with guests since we became the first Canadian property to offer it in December 2022.”
