Big mall. Big slot machine. Big rewards. If there’s one word to describe BetRivers’ entry into the Alberta market, it’s big – and it’s all going down on Friday, July 17, as the online casino and sportsbook attempts to break the world record for the world’s largest slot machine.
BetRivers comes to Alberta with an award-winning platform and a casino library that runs deep (slots, live dealer tables, and titles you won’t find anywhere else) all built to make every moment entertaining. With exclusive titles, premium rewards and engaging experiences, it’s the ultimate casino destination for Alberta gaming enthusiasts — and a record-sized slot machine is a fitting introduction.
The platform’s latest Alberta activation aims to bring that gaming experience into the real world with a record-breaking event.
The World’s Largest Slot Machine
On Friday, July 17, BetRivers will make a Guinness World Records™ Attempt at the World’s Largest Slot Machine, which will measure 16 feet tall. .
It’s the real deal. Brand Ambassador and Canadian sports broadcasting icon Dan O’Toole will emcee the event, and a Guinness World Records Adjudicator will also be on site to confirm the record is broken.
Members of the public ages 18 and up are invited to witness the record-setting attempt and spin the massive slot machine for a chance to win incredible prizes, including hockey tickets, a gold coin and a gold bar during the opening weekend. Even if you don’t win big, all participants will go home with BetRivers swag.
Gold Rush Experience
The event is all part of BetRivers’ West Edmonton Mall footprint, making for a modern-day frontier where visitors can take part in an immersive gold rush experience.
While the world record attempt happens on July 17, the BetRivers Gold Rush Experience at West Edmonton Mall will run Thursday to Sunday until the end of November, then daily during regular mall hours through to the end of December. Simply put, you’ve got plenty of time to swing by and get in on the action!
There’s a new casino in town, and you can celebrate its launch into Alberta’s regulated iGaming market in-person. Attend the BetRivers world record attempt at the West Edmonton Mall, and try the slot machine for yourself.
