MaxBet Podcast

Erica Kosemund joins the MaxBet Podcast, and let's just say Choctaw's Gaming and Partnerships marketing is next-level creative. We're talking about projecting messages on failed imploded buildings like it's a Tuesday. Erica shares her favorite marketing stories, some huge wins for Choctaw, and how she somehow knows every celebrity (She didn't outright say this, but the vibe was palpable, which, naturally, makes us all question our life choices.)

At the end, Hillary and Mike get into their Super Bowl bets, predictions, and the truly ridiculous things they'd actually bet on for the big game. In short, it's a rollercoaster of bad ideas. Stick around!

Mark Dedeaux, GM and Senior Vice President of Slots at AGS, joins us on the podcast to discuss gaming supplier strategy, what makes a premium game truly premium, and to share a his favorite gaming story from his time in Tunica, Mississippi, involving a 911 page, an interim casino manager, and a rowdy craps table.

Anyone can drop a holiday special before Christmas, but we'd rather hit you with five minutes of brain rot during no-man's-land: that weird span of time between Christmas and New Year's when no one knows what day it is, calories don't count, and we're all Googling gym memberships.

So whether you celebrate Toyotathon, Happy Honda Days, or prefer the simple Merry Chrysler, we hope it's a good one!

In this mini-episode, Mike McKiski introduces Hillary McAfee as the new co-host of MaxBet. There's now an area rug in the recording studio, so you could say things are getting pretty serious. Hear Mike defend his video call wardrobe choices and find out why Hillary might've been 86'd from Egypt over a human pyramid incident.

Plus, a sneak peek at the upcoming guest lineup, where Mike and Hillary want to take the podcast, and plenty of unfiltered commentary.

What happened? Did you guys break up? Landon is buying a farm? So many questions. MaxBet's co-founder and former co-host, Landon Jones is back in the studio with Mike to answer all of them and share what's next.

Ari Mizachi explains how True Persistence slots are being milked like ATMs by advantage players, creating an unfair playing field that's hitting recreational players the hardest and posing a serious threat to the slot economy.

In this episode, host Mike McKiski sits down with Kunal Mishra, Chief Strategy Officer at OddsWorks Gaming and creator of the "Watch Me Vibe" YouTube channel. Yeah, you heard that right — in addition to leading the way in gaming tech, Kunal runs a daily YouTube channel all about watches.

It's more than just a hobby though; Kunal credits much of his career success to having an outlet like this, which stems from a deep connection with his father.

Throughout the episode, Kunal shares his thoughts on the future of gaming technology, creating engaging content for online casinos, and how OddsWorks is pushing the envelope in the industry.
