Checkers

About Checkers

Yahoo said Polymarket is still an advertising partner and suggested the two could collaborate on other projects in the future. Polymarket has not provided any public explanation for the end of the data partnership. 

The news comes as prediction market operators continue to form alliances with major media outlets. These deals allow news outlets to embed event contract data into their reporting and offer prediction platforms more visibility to investors and news audiences. 

Polymarket has developed its media presence elsewhere. In January, it signed a deal with Dow Jones to provide its prediction market data to several of the publisher’s consumer platforms. The deal covers publications including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and Investor’s Business Daily.

The release also underlines how the studio is scaling. The new game becomes part of a portfolio of more than 200 classic online slots built on transparent mechanics, quality mathematics, and well-balanced gameplay. That count marks steady growth for a provider that was founded in 2021 and now leans on volume and reliability as its core pitch.

Distribution reinforces why the recurring format matters commercially. 1spin4win’s content is available through a growing network of more than 1,000 casino partners worldwide, including 1xBet and RocketPlay.

Art director Olga Bogdanova framed the release around atmosphere and its new mechanic, describing it as “our new event-themed slot with the Plus Coin mechanic.” The wording fits the broader pattern. A familiar celebration, iterated with a fresh feature, dropped into the calendar slot the studio reserves for it every year.

The barge functioned as an intimate stage graced by legendary performers, including Dionne Warwick, Blues Traveler, Matt Goss, and CeeLo Green. Its final performer was another Vegas icon rumored to be powered by hydraulics: Wayne Newton. His “Up Close & Personal” residency in 2019 was the lounge’s final act before the pandemic shut down the Strip for 90 days and closed Cleopatra’s Barge for good in March 2020.

The lounge enjoyed one last moment in the spotlight in 2022, however, when Adele—on the eve of the debut of her long-delayed residency at the Colosseum—tweeted a photo of herself goofing around nervously on its abandoned deck.

The Cleopatra statue itself was removed to storage in late 2023, as the space was transformed into today’s Caspian’s Caviar and Cocktails.
