Caesars Revives Millionaire Maker Series with Expanded Nationwide Competition
Caesars Entertainment has announced the return of its Millionaire Maker Series, a large-scale gaming event launching in April 2026 and culminating in a two-day slot tournament finale in Las Vegas in April 2027. The updated program builds on the legacy of the original event while introducing new features, broader participation, and expanded access for Caesars Rewards members. For the first time, the competition will span more than 50 Caesars destinations across North America, along with digital platforms, making it the most widely accessible version of the event to date.

Caesars Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Josh Jones said, “The Millionaire Maker is one of the most celebrated events ever offered by Caesars, and its return marks a major moment for our loyal Caesars Rewards members. This revitalized program brings together the legacy of the Millionaire Maker brand with new formats, digital participation, and even more opportunities for memorable moments and big wins.”

From April through December 2026, participants can qualify for the finale through branded slot tournaments and promotional drawings held both in-person and online. The Las Vegas finale will award more than $2 million in prizes, including $1 million each for the top two finalists, with total prize payouts exceeding $3.5 million across the full series. Originally launched in 2013 as a smaller regional initiative, the Millionaire Maker has evolved into a major cross-platform event that combines physical casino experiences with online gaming opportunities, reflecting Caesars’ broader push to integrate digital and on-property engagement.

Visa Launches Enhanced Subscription Manager to Simplify Recurring Payments
Visa has introduced its Enhanced Subscription Manager, a new value-added service within its Digital Issuer Solutions platform, designed to help consumers better manage recurring charges and the growing number of subscription services. With global subscriptions expected to reach 12 billion by 2030, the solution addresses increasing demand for transparency and control by allowing users to view, track, switch, and cancel subscriptions directly within their banking apps. The service also provides alerts and insights, helping reduce unwanted charges while improving overall financial awareness.

Visa Global Head of Issuing Solutions, Kathleen Pierce-Gilmore, said, “Consumers today want clarity, control, and convenience when it comes to managing the subscriptions that touch so many parts of their lives. By enhancing subscription management capabilities with Digital Issuer Solutions, and expanding through strategic collaborations with companies like Pinwheel, we’re helping issuers deliver digital experiences that keep them top‑of‑wallet.”

Through a collaboration with Pinwheel, Visa enables issuers to integrate advanced subscription management capabilities, including card switching and cancellation across more than 100 major merchants. This integration strengthens customer engagement, reduces disputes, and supports long-term loyalty by delivering a seamless digital experience. Set to launch in North America in summer 2026, with expansion planned for additional regions, the Enhanced Subscription Manager reflects Visa’s broader effort to modernize financial tools and give consumers greater control over recurring spending.
