Last week, the Irish police, also known as Gardaí, confirmed it renewed its appeal for information related to the mysterious and unexpected disappearance of a 41-year-old poker player dating back to 2019. The recent request reignited the efforts in resolving the missing person’s case that involved Jon Jonsson, a poker player from Iceland who disappeared on February 9, 2019. The poker player was last seen around 11 AM on that day in Whitehall.

The latest request for the Gardaí comes after anonymous correspondence was received regarding the case. The Irish police urged the authors of the correspondence to disclose more details. “The Garda investigation team are appealing to the author(s) of those correspondences to make direct contact with them,” reads a statement released by garda disclosed by the Irish Independent. The police authorities added: “Any contact will be dealt with in the strictest confidence.”

In February 2019, Jonsson, who was 41 at the time, checked into the Bonnington Hotel in Dublin. The Icelandic poker player arrived on February 9, ahead of a poker tournament he was expecting to participate in. Jonsson had planned a 10-day vacation for himself and his fiancée. Yet, on the same day he arrived at Bonnington Hotel, he walked out and was never seen again.

According to a report released by The Irish Mirror, Gardaí are now considering that the 41-year-old poker player may have been killed somewhere in Dublin Park. Citing sources, the publication suggests that Jonsson may have been murdered after losing a significant amount of money while playing poker in Dublin. Reportedly, the poker player arranged a meeting in the park that turned into a violent encounter and ultimately resulted in his death. Still, it’s important to mention that garda is yet to officially confirm if this version is correct.

Gardaí Searches Areas in Santry Park

After receiving the anonymous communication last week, this week, the Irish police initiated a search in a section of Santry Park. The aforementioned area was secured by law enforcement while K9 and underwater units investigating the surroundings were dispatched.

The location where garda is currently searching is approximately 2 miles from the Bonnington Hotel where Jonsson was last seen alive on February 9, 2019. The result of the latest search is yet to be confirmed.

Last year, a Massachusetts woman had to drop out of a Super Bingo tournament in Las Vegas because of a heart attack. A year later, she returned to settle the score, taking back $50,000 home.

The woman, identified as Pam, couldn’t wrap up her run at the bingo tournament at Plaza Hotel & Casino last year. While competing, she suddenly felt chest pain and had to be hospitalized. Rushed to Valley Hospital, the woman was diagnosed with a heart attack.

Luckily, Pam got better and, a year later, returned to Las Vegas for another go at the tournament she had to drop out from previously. Her luck turned around this time, as she won $50,000 from the event.

Plaza Hotel & Casino shared that this was the fourth time the woman has taken part in the October Super Bingo tournament.

The Massachusetts woman refused to disclose her full name. However, she can be seen rejoicing at her win on a video from the event. The video also highlights the scope of the event, which, for reference, attracted over a thousand people.

Plaza Hotel & Casino Continues to Host Exciting Bingo Events

The Super Bingo tournaments are a staple at the resort, with the next one set to take place from November 27 to 29.

This year’s schedule was announced in March, revealing what players can expect. The casino resort kicked off the new bingo season with a $160,000 event in April that featured nineteen $1,199 games and a $50,000 coverall on both days of the event.

Because of the popularity of these events, Plaza Hotel & Casino decided to host one each month after, excluding July and December. The upcoming event in November will therefore be the last Super Bingo tournament for 2023.

Players can learn more about these events and the signup packages on Plaza Hotel & Casino’s official website.

Speaking of bingo, the Arizona bingo situation recently heated up amid ongoing investigations from the government. Backed by veteran organizations, bingo proponents accused the government of trying to aggressively crack down on bingo technological aids – electronic bingo cards that make it easier for disabled players to enjoy bingo.

However, the government claims that it only sought to crack down on predatory illegal machines in hopes of protecting consumers in the state. Spokespeople explained that they are not trying to ban BTAs but rather identify illegal slots-like bingo machines.
