Wanna Be a Better Sports Bettor? Famed Veteran Sports Book Manager and Pro Vegas Bookmaker Shares Insights at Casino Collectibles Show

Author and Radio Host Chris Andrews will greet attendees during world’s largest casino memorabilia show June 16 in Las Vegas

Sports betting is all the rage, and what could be timelier for a casino memorabilia show than to have the man that turned the sportsbook at the tiny Cal Neva casino into one of the biggest and most successful sports book in Nevada? Chris Andrews 35-year bookmaking resume includes the iconic Las Vegas casinos Stardust, Barbary Coast, Golden Nugget and South Point. To help the wagering public, Andrews authored a behind-the-scenes book, and he’ll share some of his bookmaking and sports betting insights at the Casino Collectibles Association’s 29th annual show.  He will greet those attending the World’s Largest Casino Chip and Collectibles Show on day one from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday June 16, at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 16 -18, 2022.

Chris Andrews came west to Las Vegas after paying his way through college hustling bets and making book where he learned the old Nevada method of bookmaking. He was so good the Cal Neva hired him at age 25 to run their sportsbook, and the little-known casino rocketed to national sports betting prominence. He came back to Vegas when his cousin bought the Golden Nugget, and left when it sold. Andrews explored various possibilities and realized his experience as a bookmaker, radio host and writer could be used to turn the tables on bookmakers and help the wagering public. He and his partners formed Against the Number to do just that. Andrews is the author of the book Then One Day…40 years of Bookmaking in Nevada. Recently Andrews was hired once again by Michael Gaughan, where he is currently director of the South Point Casino Sportsbook.

The World’s Largest Casino Chip and Collectibles Show is open to the public and offers the

greatest collection of casino memorabilia, souvenirs and keepsakes ever assembled in a single location.  Attendees will be able to browse souvenirs of nearly everything casino related, including gaming table chips, slot machines, slot cards, tokens and glass, dice, playing cards, matchbooks, menus, dinnerware, swizzle sticks, post cards, photos and more. Over 50 worldwide dealers will be on hand to offer attendees the unique opportunity to examine, buy, sell, or trade casino collectibles.

International Game Technology PLC announced that it recently launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game for Canada, Money Mania slots. The game is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and at 22 BCLC-governed casinos throughout British Columbia. IGT is the only supplier in the world to offer omnichannel jackpot games with shared jackpot liquidity across the land-based, online and mobile versions of the games.

“We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer, so BCLC is thrilled to launch IGT’s Money Mania – another title that draws upon the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots. Both BCLC and IGT are passionate about bringing innovative games to players and fueling responsible growth in the industry. We also recognize that BCLC is in a unique position with our ability to offer cross-channel experiences for players. Whether players choose to play Money Mania at the casino or online, we’re confident this is another game they’ll love,” said Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer.

IGT’s Money Mania is a proven multi-level progressive (MLP) game that features player-favorite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level WAP jackpot – “Mania Jackpot”. With a jackpot-reset value of $4000, the game’s “Mania Jackpot” is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.

“IGT’s Money Mania omnichannel WAP game is designed to frequently deliver mid-to-large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay and engage BCLC players online and in casinos. Like Powerbucks, IGT’s Money Mania is at the forefront of jackpot innovation and supports IGT’s commitment to and leadership in omnichannel content and innovation,” said David Flinn, IGT SVP Sales, Canada, South and Central America.
