Company to Host First-Ever NIGA Charity Slot Tournament
Everi is bringing a charity slot tournament to NIGA following several years of runaway success at the Global Gaming Expo in Las
Vegas. Leveraging the Company’s TournEvent slot tournament solution and hosted in partnership with NIGA Chairman Ernest
Stevens, Jr., the Tribal Leaders Charity Slot Tournament benefiting Spirit of Sovereignty will be held at Everi’s booth (#1344) at
the San Diego Convention Center on Thursday, April 13 at 1:00 pm PT.
Spirit of Sovereignty was established in 2002 as the charitable arm of NIGA and is a NIGA-advised donor fund at
the Indian Land Tenure Foundation. It directly supports the efforts of Native Americans and Native American tribes to achieve
self-determination through educational opportunities and positive children’s programming.
The first-place winner of the Tribal Leaders Charity Slot Tournament will direct up to $10,000 of the charitable
proceeds to the program of their choice within the Spirit of Sovereignty, supporting scholarships at tribal colleges or programs
serving Native youth on the reservation of their choice while the second and third place finishers will direct up to $5,000 and up
to $3,000, respectively, based on number of participants. Visitors to NIGA 2017 are invited to attend and cheer on the
participants as they compete to benefit this worthy cause.
