Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. Through Its Casino Gaming and Hospitality Division – Jericho Associates, Inc. Announces the Acquisition of Vegas Winners LLC and the Addition of High-Profile CEO, Television Host and Media Personality Wayne Allyn Root to Its Executive Team
Reading Time: 4 minutes
CANTON, Ohio, Aug, 2018 — Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc (“CLEV”), through its casino gaming and hospitality division – Jericho Associates, Inc (“Jericho”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Vegas Winners LLC (“VW”) and has added its founder Wayne Allyn Root to the Jericho executive leadership team. Mr. Root will continue to operate Vegas Winners LLC as its CEO and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jericho. The deal includes an employment agreement between Jericho and Mr. Root, with Root serving as Senior Vice President of Marketing, Media, Entertainment and Communications for parent company Jericho.
The acquisition is consistent with the Jericho mission statement of acquiring businesses in the casino gaming, hospitality, entertainment, and leisure industries. Jericho’s executive team has over 150 years of experience in leadership, management, development, operation and financing of major casino gaming, tribal gaming and hotel/hospitality companies
Jericho sought out this opportunity as a result of the recent (May 14, 2018) Supreme Court ruling, which allows individual states to legalize sports wagering within their borders. Sports wagering is now legal in Nevada, New Jersey, Mississippi and Delaware, with several additional states expected to legalize gambling on sporting events by the coming football season. Those states include West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Currently, there are 40 states that have legal casino gaming. Many of them are expected to legalize sports wagering in the near future.
Root said, “Vegas Winners LLC aims to become America’s leading provider of sports gaming information, analysis, advice and predictions. The opportunity is enormous, as The American Gaming Association (AGA) reports, $150 billion is wagered on sports each year, including over $58 billion annually on NFL and NCAA Football. Over $15 billion is wagered on the Super Bowl and March Madness alone. The AGA reports 97% of all of this wagering has been illegal. These sports wagering statistics occurred while only Nevada had full-scale legal sports wagering. We believe that sports wagering is about to become America’s new national past-time. We also believe that these millions of new sports bettors will require wagering advice for their hundreds of billions of dollars of legal sports wagers. We intend to be the best at providing sports wagering advice and analysis to the American public.”
The AGA reports sports betting is the one issue that unites all Americans- with 61% of Trump voters, 57% of Democrats and 57% of independents in favor of legal sports wagering. According to research by Oxford Economics legal sports betting could add up to $14 billion to the U.S. economy, create 152,000 jobs, generate up to $27 billion in total economic output and provide as much as $5 billion in additional annual tax revenue.
Mr. Root has been the sports information, analysis and advice industry leader for almost 30 years, since starting his career in 1989 as the national television partner of the famous Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder on Financial News Network (now known as CBC). Root and “The Greek” hosted FNN’s primetime NFL pre and post game shows. Root also served as FNN’s Network Oddsmaker and NFL Analyst.
Root has spent virtually his entire adult life providing his advice, analysis and predictions on various national television and radio shows – including “Wayne Allyn Root’s WinningEDGE,” watched for a decade by millions of American sports gaming enthusiasts on several major cable television networks. Root also created, Executive Produced and co-Hosted “King of Vegas” reality TV series on Spike TV.
Root has authored several well-known books on wagering- “ROOT on Risk: Betting to Win on Sports,” “The Zen of Gambling” and “The King of Vegas’ Guide to Gambling.” He has debated the merits of sports gaming at Harvard Law School. Root’s career has been profiled by CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Worth, The Robb Report and many others. In 2006, Root was honored with his own 180-pound granite star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars- the only sports gaming celebrity ever honored.
In 2008, Root won the Libertarian Vice Presidential nomination. Today, his national TV show, “The Wayne Allyn Root Show” airs on Newsmax TV and his national radio show, “WAR Now” is syndicated by USA Radio.
Jericho is currently focusing its efforts on the launch of Vegas Winners LLC to coincide with Mr. Root’s vision for the 2018 NFL season and its future growth; certain due diligence related to an expected bid to acquire a Las Vegas based commercial gaming property; and for future acquisitions in casino gaming, hospitality, entertainment, and leisure time industries. Outside of capitalizing on this massive expansion of sports gaming, Jericho’s number one priority is the acquisition of a major casino/resort property. To this end, Jericho is currently in discussions with a major public casino company about the acquisition of one of its large casino properties, as well as negotiating for the development of tribal casino properties.
This transaction is contingent on several factors, including the obtaining of funding by Jericho. Jericho believes that the timing of the addition of Vegas Winners LLC to its business model, and more specifically Wayne Allyn Root to the Jericho executive leadership team, to be a major step into what might well be the most significant development in the casino gaming industry in decades- the legalization, expansion and proliferation of sports wagering across the United States.

What makes Turbo Games’ provably fair games so special?
A partnership between game developer Turbo Games and iGaming solution provider and aggregator Slotegrator began in November 2022 via the APIgrator game integration solution. Since then, the collaboration has been developing successfully — and now it’s time to analyze what made it successful.
Turbo Games has noticed how the new technologies spreading throughout the industry can work for the good of brand transparency and player loyalty: “We can already see how blockchain technology has made it possible to make betting checks more accessible to players. All you need is a blockchain-hash and a decoder service. We think we will continue to move in this direction. Many traditional online casinos do not offer the possibility to check the bet. Sooner or later we all have to come to this. Perhaps the development of artificial intelligence will help here, because we are already seeing its involvement in all spheres of human life.”
Turbo Games specializes in provably fair games. Provable fairness is a concept where players can verify their wins or losses using blockchain technology — the outcome of the game is dictated by a smart contract and is absolutely random, barring the possibility of any human involvement. Using cryptographic hashing algorithms, the gambling site and the player’s device both generate seeds (random strings of numbers). Players receive a key that allows them to check the results; if the results are the same as the game round they witnessed, it proves that there was no foul play.
According to statistics from Turbo Games, the audience for provably fair games is mostly between 18 and 25 years old. However, there are also players aged 35-40 who prefer traditional games but would like to try something new, and have turned their attention to provably fair games.
There are good odds that the technology of provably fair games will become more popular, if not even commonplace, because it gives players a feeling of transparency and proves that the business is trustworthy without the need to search through dozens of reviews. Whereas many innovations in iGaming simply add entertainment, provable fairness addresses security concerns and reassures players that they’re not being exploited, which is invaluable.
Provably fair games are beneficial for both players and online casinos. Vadim Potapenko, Head of Sales at Turbo Games, comments: “It often happens that the users are not satisfied with the result, because gambling is not only about big wins, but also possible losses. By allowing them to check the fairness of a bet, we make life easier for platforms and players. Of course, this allows us to communicate with partners and users that we work honestly and that’s why they should trust our games.”
Ayvar Gabidullin, Business Development Manager at Slotegrator, adds that “this type of game is now becoming more and more popular and has great potential for both players and game providers in the future. On the part of the player, the advantage is that the player can always be sure that his game is fair and he can independently check any of his bets. And for the game provider, this also simplifies the process of implementing casino games, since now it will not be necessary to obtain the appropriate certificates from independent laboratories before launching new games, they can immediately enter the market with these games and where anyone can check the result and make sure that that there is no cheating with players. Many game providers are starting to look towards this type of game. And as far as I see, many operators are starting to think about adding these games.”
What do players in 2023 need? The iGaming industry is all about reputation and trust. Players have a huge number of platforms to choose from, making them pickier and pickier. There’s an abundance of forums where players leave reviews, so if players view a brand as untrustworthy, there are plenty of places they can share their opinion. Provable fairness not only stops that from happening, it provides evidence to the contrary, giving players something else to talk about.
Slotegrator also recommends investing time and effort into localization and creating an effective and detailed marketing strategy — before trying provably fair technology players need to get to the platform, and there is no acquisition without marketing.

Since 2012, Slotegrator has been one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators.

ABOUT TURBO GAMES
Turbo Games — a provably fair games provider that belongs to Turbo Stars company — has an ambitious goal to establish widespread recognition throughout the iGaming world. Even though it is young, the company consists of professionals who have been working on the brand for over five years and are even planning to introduce a new brand for a wider audience soon.
Turbo Games also works in Europe, India, and South Africa, where the company sees the most potential and expects the same “hype” as in Brazil.
The portfolio of Turbo Games consists of 21 titles, including well-known games like Mines, Crash X, DoubleRoll, Hi-Lo, and Plinko. The studio releases a game every month. However, not all games are developed from scratch. Wicket Blast and Spin Strike, the last two releases, are based on cricket and the Indian Premier League. Crash X remains the most popular fast game in the Turbo Games portfolio, and the studio reports that crash games enjoy stable levels of popularity. Overall, the main focus of the brand is provably fair games.
