Wind Creek Hospitality has announced the champion of its multi-property “Winner Takes All” casino promotion, which concluded with a championship event at Wind Creek Chicago Southland. The event brought together top qualifiers from Wind Creek properties for an exclusive VIP experience and a high-stakes competition featuring significant cash prizes.

Participants earned their spots in the finals by advancing through slot tournaments hosted at their respective home casinos. After progressing through quarterfinal and semifinal stages, the finalists competed in Chicago, where a series of timed slot tournaments took place on June 13. Successive elimination rounds reduced the field until a single champion emerged.

When the competition concluded, Aaron Nelson from Wind Creek Atmore secured first place, winning $1 million in the championship round and earning a chance to compete for the promotion’s top jackpot prize of as much as $11,888,888. In total, finalists shared more than $200,000 in cash and prizes during the event. Awards included $100,000 for the runner-up, as well as a prize drawing featuring a $50,000 pool, highlighted by a $25,000 grand drawing prize and several additional $1,000 awards.

Beyond the gaming competition, finalists enjoyed exclusive Wind Creek Rewards activities showcasing some of Chicago’s most notable attractions and hospitality experiences. The itinerary featured an architectural cruise along the Chicago River, a guided culinary tour through Chinatown, and a welcome reception with food and beverages. Wind Creek Hospitality also covered travel and lodging expenses for participating finalists.

The “Winner Takes All” promotion represented one of Wind Creek Hospitality’s largest cross-property tournament initiatives, blending competitive casino gaming with premium travel experiences and elevated guest hospitality.

Betr, the creator of the world’s first real-money gaming super app, has announced a multi-year partnership with Polymarket, the largest prediction market platform globally. Through this collaboration, prediction markets will soon be accessible to Betr users across the United States. Starting in 2026, Betr plans to introduce prediction markets powered by Polymarket directly within its super app, allowing its one million paying users to engage with event contracts covering sports, politics, culture, and other major topics.

“Since launching Betr, our focus has been on building products that resonate with the modern sports fan at scale,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr. “The introduction of Predictions is a key milestone in our goal of developing the first nationwide real-money gaming and financial super app. This addition brings a category expected to generate $1 trillion in annual volume into the same seamless platform that already includes Picks, Sportsbook, Casino, and Arcade. Polymarket is the ideal partner for this expansion because of their leadership in the space and strong connections within the sports ecosystem.”

Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket, added, “Prediction markets are quickly becoming an essential way to interpret future events, and broad adoption is what drives them into the mainstream. Betr has cultivated one of the most active sports audiences in the United States, making them the perfect partner to introduce prediction markets to a large new user base. This partnership enables us to expand our infrastructure and bring prediction markets into the everyday experience of sports fans nationwide.”

Currently, Betr operates several products across much of the United States, including Betr Picks, Betr Social Sportsbook, Betr Social Casino, and Betr Arcade. The company also holds gaming licenses across the country and has received recognition from regulators for its commitment to responsible gaming. The upcoming prediction markets feature will be integrated into the same unified app that hosts Betr’s existing offerings.
