Buffalo Studios' BINGO Blitz And Riviera Hotel & Casino Launch First-of-its-Kind Social Gaming Partnership
LAS VEGAS, May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Buffalo Studios, the gaming studio behind BINGO Blitz, the #1 Bingo game on Facebook, and Riviera Hotel & Casino, the property with the only Bingo room on the Las Vegas Strip, proudly announce the first-of-its-kind bingo partnership between an online social bingo game and a land-based casino. The partnership combines Buffalo Studios' expertise in social gaming with the Riviera's rich history in the traditional casino and gaming space to create a unique and exciting gaming experience that helps pave the way for convergence between online social casino games and traditional land-based casino action.
For a limited time, BINGO Blitz is featuring a special online Riviera Las Vegas bingo room within its Facebook game where players can enter the sweepstakes free every day for a chance to win one of twelve trips to Las Vegas to compete in the $200,000 Riviera Superstar BINGO Blitz tournament in July.
"Bingo is the ultimate social game, and it is now even more exciting than the classic game enjoyed by earlier generations. In fact, BINGO Blitz's fun, modern gameplay has driven the resurgence of online bingo which has risen to new heights of popularity in recent years, even amongst a younger demographic," says Salim Mitha, vice president of Buffalo Studios. "Together with the Riviera Casino & Hotel, we are now rewarding these players – namely the more than 3 million monthly BINGO Blitz players – by providing them an opportunity to compete in one of the richest live in-person bingo tournaments in Las Vegas."
President and CEO of Riviera Hotel & Casino, Andy Choy, says, "The Riviera is one of the original trendsetters in Las Vegas, and we have been actively pursuing a social networking company to use our property's assets and create incredible opportunities for lifelong bingo fans as well as those new to the game. This is a great step toward breaking down the walls between live, land-based bingo and online bingo."
The $200,000 Riviera Superstar BINGO Blitz Sweepstakes is open to residents 21 and over in the contiguous U.S., Alaska and Hawaii.
