Pass or Play Bingo Game Show debut at Bingo Business Expo Las Vegas

Vancouver game designer Stephen R. Kaplan, affectionately known as "Mr. Bingotainment," is poised to make waves in the industry with the debut of his highly anticipated Bingo Game Show, "Pass or Play," at the upcoming Bingo Business Expo on March 7th, hosted at the prestigious Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas.

This ground breaking event marks a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Bingo-related entertainment. "Pass or Play" will revolutionize the gaming experience by embracing virtual technology, with 5 contestants seamlessly streamed into an immersive background. Partnering with Illinois-based "Free N' Fun Bar Bingo," the production will offer attendees the unique opportunity to engage in the Bingo portion of the Game show on their devices, thanks to cutting-edge technology provided by our esteemed collaborator.

The primary objective of "Pass or Play" is to provide a cost-effective yet highly visible promotion for linked Bingo games, whether land-based or online, catering to the enthusiastic community of bingo and interactive game show fans alike.

Reflecting on his inspiration, Kaplan, the creative force behind both bingo board and bingo card games, shares his vision: "I design my games with the goal of making the early numbers drawn in bingo as exciting as the final 3. Bingo has a special magic to it, and I just want to tap into that."

"Pass or Play" boasts a dynamic 5-contestant format, with the first two out of three rounds driven by a 24 out of 75 number draw of Bingo. Contestants strategically navigate the "Pass or Play" options to accumulate the highest or lowest score, aiming to secure a spot in the exhilarating final round.

The culmination of the game, an elimination round known as the "Game of Swords," is set to transcend into its stand-alone app, being developed by Devruptors Inc. further elevating the immersive gaming experience.

Beyond its virtual debut, "Pass or Play" holds the potential for captivating live full set productions with the backing of an adequate budget, promising endless possibilities for future engagements and entertainment ventures.
As anticipation mounts for the ground breaking launch of "Pass or Play" at the Bingo Business Expo, Kaplan and his team are poised to redefine the landscape of Bingo entertainment, promising an unforgettable experience for all enthusiasts and participants alike.
