Nevada Casino Collectibles Club Announces New Logo for Inaugural Public Show
In the spirit of old Vegas, the Southern Nevada Casino Collectibles Club (SNCCC) introduces a new logo designed to highlight and promote the local casino memorabilia club’s first-ever casino collectibles show. The public is invited to come and enjoy the many artifacts of Las Vegas as it was from 9 am to 5 pm Friday and Saturday September 23rd and 24th at the Gold Coast Casino, California Ballrooms L & K.
Over thirty dealers, most of them local, will be on hand displaying collections of casino chips, tokens, dice, playing cards, slot cards and slot glass, room keys, advertising items – all kinds of casino souvenirs – both common and rare. Add to your collection or bring your collections to the show for an on-site expert evaluation.
Also on display will be the current Guinness World Record of the largest private personal collection of casino chips and gaming tokens from different casinos – 2,222 items – achieved by Las Vegas resident and SNCCC member Gregg Fisher.
“Show visitors will see so many examples of what Vegas used to be like when comps were king, and casinos branded everything in sight. They wanted their customers to take home these special items as valued reminders of the great time they had. Now so many are hard to find. The SNCCC is a club with over 200 members who love to collect casino souvenirs, and also love to share these artifacts and the stories behind them. We are very proud to be hosting our first show, and invite everyone to attend and, if interested, join the fun of our club and attend our free monthly meetings,” said Jerry Vergatos, club president.
Plans are in the works to have several celebrities on hand for a meet and greet session, as well as an auction of collectible casino chips.
The SNCCC Casino Collectibles Show registration and admission is open to the public September 23 and 24. Admission is $5 per day and includes a free goody bag. Location is California Ballroom L & K at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino, 4000 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nevada. Show details are posted at www.snccc.club.

GiG increases Ontario market presence, powering the launch of Casino Time
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), has announced the launch of Casino Time, powered by its award winning iGaming platform and pioneering real-time rules engine LogicX, with revolutionary sportsbook, SportX soon to follow, to further extend its footprint in the regulated Canadian province of Ontario.
The launch of Casino Time carries extra significance, marking only the second time that on-demand, regulated online Bingo has been made available in Ontario. The new Bingo product vertical, launched alongside a strong Casino offering, will be boosted by GiG’s new sportsbook, SportX, as part of a planned release later this year.
GiG has focused its solutions on driving exponential growth in revenue for operators with its highly scalable iGaming platform, offering localised third party content and leading suppliers for the Ontarian market. GiGs peerless gamification layer creates an optimised and immersive casino experience tailored to regional preferences, swelling client retention and player engagement.

Promising a personalised service and community experience, Casino Time is continuing its long-standing partnership with local charities, introducing its joint fundraising model into the iGaming space for the first time.
Now coming towards the end of its second year of licensed operations, Ontario has emerged as one of the largest iGaming markets in North America, second only to New Jersey according to data supplied by Vixio. The first and as yet only Canadian province to launch a regulated market, Ontario boasts more than 1.6 million active player accounts spread over 40 plus operators, generating €1.3 billion in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) in its first year of trading, with this data supplied by iGaming Ontario.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer of GiG, said: “GiG continues to set the pace with a strong cadence of brand launches in 2024, and I’m pleased that when operators are seeking platform solutions in regulated markets, GiG is leading the pack.

Glitnor and IBIA share a common goal to maintain the integrity of the sports betting marketplace and to protecting consumers and sports from match-fixing. Ensuring product integrity is paramount to our approach and we look forward to integrating Glitnor within our leading global sports betting integrity monitoring system.”
IBIA is a not-for-profit body that has no competing conflicts with the delivery of commercial services to other sectors and is run by operators for operators to protect regulated sports betting markets from match-fixing. IBIA’s global monitoring network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets.
Through the IBIA global monitoring network it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts. IBIA members have over $300bn per annum in betting turnover (handle), accounting for approximately 50% of the global commercial regulated land-based and online sports betting sector, and in excess of 50% for online alone.
IBIA recently released a report on the Availability of Sports Betting Products which highlighted Ontario as a leading regulated gambling jurisdiction, with an expected onshore channelisation for sports betting of 92% in 2024 forecast to rise to 97% in 2028. IBIA currently represents over 60% of the private sports betting operators licensed in the province. All online sports betting operators licensed in Ontario are required to be part of a betting integrity monitoring body.
IBIA’s 2023 annual integrity report detailed 184 alerts reported in the year, which represents a decrease of 101 (or 35%) on the revised 2022 figure of 285 alerts. IBIA alerts contributed to the investigations and subsequent successful sanctioning of 21 clubs, players and officials in 2023, an increase on the 15 sanctioned in 2022.
