Responsible Gaming
“Self-exclusion” gives problem gamblers the opportunity to identify themselves and avoid risking their wallets and their well-being. The Washington State Gambling Commission – following passage of Representative Shelley Kloba’s HB 1302 in 2019 – must adopt rules establishing a self-exclusion policy by June 30, 2021.
As a part of its core responsible gaming philosophy, Maverick Gaming is the first in the state to implement and activate its centralized self-exclusion system in all 19 of our properties statewide, barring problem gamblers from all of our card rooms. We are happy to provide a safe place for the 97% of people who can place bets responsibly and for fun. For those who cannot, centralized self-exclusion will help us to prohibit self-harm while gambling in our facilities.
Good-Paying Jobs

Public Policy
The ownership and senior management of Maverick Gaming believes their company has an obligation and responsibility to actively participate in civic and political life. In 2019, Maverick Gaming established a political action committee (PAC) to advocate for and on behalf of its employees and company priorities. Maverick’s corporate culture is to participate in the political process, in a non-partisan way, for our employees and the communities where we do business. We are proud of being a part of the civic and political process in every jurisdiction where we do business and want all of our positions and contributions to be transparent.
In 2021, we are supporting legislation that will include commercial cardrooms like ours in the opportunity to offer legal sports betting in Washington State. Sports betting is legal in 25 states and D.C. and as of January 2021, had generated upwards of $350 million in taxes/jurisdiction revenue. Read more about the broad, bipartisan support for this proposal.
What is sports betting?
Sports betting is the ability for a person to predict an outcome of a sporting event, put money on it, and then watch the game or match to enhance their overall experience. If you put $20 on a Seahawks game, you cheer that much louder. Of course, you’re a fan first, and Seahawks fans are known for how hard they cheer to begin with. But if they win, and YOU win also, it’s even better.
Should Washington allow sports betting?
The 2019-2020 State Legislature gave Washington Tribes the ability to offer sports betting, and sports books in tribal properties will be available soon. We support legislation that would include commercial cardrooms like ours in the ability to offer this popular pastime to our customers. The opportunity doesn’t just stabilize and increase jobs at our locations and others who would like to offer it but would generate 35% more revenue from gambling taxes for local and state budgets strained by COVID-19. In particular, we believe that sport betting can be offered responsibly, with strict limitations that safeguard against widespread unmonitored betting, while also creating economic opportunity that helps rebuild and move forward beyond the impacts of the pandemic.
+ Who is Maverick Gaming?
Maverick Gaming was founded by long-time gambling executives Eric Persson and Justin Beltram in 2017. It currently operates 19 cardrooms in Washington State as well as casino/hotels in Nevada and Colorado. When Eric was growing up in Hoquiam, Washington, he knew he wanted to own casinos. His company is named for his first-grade son, Maverick.
+ I've Never Been In A Card Room, What Should I Expect?
At Maverick Gaming cardrooms you can expect clean, bright, safe facilities where you can have a drink and a bite to eat while you have a fun time. We try to take care of our employees so they are happy in their jobs, and thus providing great service to our guests. And because we are committed to being part of our communities, we hope you’ll feel at home.
+ Why Did Maverick Gaming Come To Washington?
Co-founder and majority owner Eric Persson was raised in Hoquiam, Washington. His lifelong passion for gaming and his decades in the industry have come full circle with Maverick Gaming’s growth and investment here in Eric’s home state. Washington also hosts a healthy gambling industry and a devoted and enthusiastic fan base for sports as well as national championships for several teams in recent years from the Seattle Storm (women’s basketball) and Seattle Sounders (major league soccer) to the Seattle Seahawks (professional football) and the Seattle Seawolves (major league rugby). As sports wagering increases in popularity across the country, Maverick Gaming hopes to support its legalization and regulation in Washington, a business opportunity that generates tax revenue to be used in local communities.
+ What Makes Maverick Gaming Different Than Other Casinos?
Maverick Gaming is a company, but it also represents a lifelong dream come to life. We hope to establish a presence in Washington to be proud of, that has a legacy fitting of our families and for the people on our team who want to be a part of offering another option for gambling and entertainment in Washington. No one takes more pride in their work or cares more about their guest experience than we do.
+ What's The Difference Between Maverick Gaming Cardrooms and Tribal Casinos?
Washington’s Tribal casinos are beautiful properties that are frequently destination resorts that offer a great experience. Maverick offers an experience that is smaller and more neighborly. Our guests can park 20 feet from the door, meet co-workers for happy hour, and have a more intimate, social experience. We are another option for people to come together that is also committed to participating as a member of the local community who knows you and what is going on in the neighborhood.As required by federal law, Washington’s Tribal casinos are exclusively operated on Tribal Lands following agreed-upon compacts negotiated directly between Tribal and state governments. Cardrooms are non-Tribal gaming options and are licensed and regulated by state government following an extensive criminal background check and other due diligence regulations before approving prospective operators.
Under current law, sports wagering is legal for Washington Tribes but not yet in commercial cardrooms like ours.
+ Where else do you have operations and where else do you plan to grow?
Maverick Gaming owns 19 card rooms in Washington State and a handful of other properties in Colorado and Nevada.
+ How many employees do you have and what kinds of jobs do you provide? What’s the average salary and benefits package?
Maverick Gaming employs 2,000 Washingtonians with average salary of $70,000 and a competitive benefits package. We were proud to support our team members when they joined the ranks of Teamsters 117. Over half of the cardrooms in Washington State are represented by Teamsters 117, which represents real benefits including access to healthcare and a secure retirement. At Maverick Gaming, our goal is not only to be a good employer, but a good neighbor and an active member in the communities where we operate. It's why our CEO created our Maverick Cares initiative, which is employee-led and in the last year engaged with community partners across the state to provide tens of thousands of meals for families struggling during the pandemic.

+ I’m worried that sports betting is just another opportunity for people to lose their money?
The vast majority of people who gamble do so safely and responsibly and we hope to offer them a fun time that does not threaten their well-being or risk their personal finances. Maverick Gaming is the first company in Washington to implement a socially responsible self-exclusion policy across all of our properties.
Eric is a native Washingtonian, raised in Hoquiam, Washington, and from a young age, he knew he wanted to work in casinos. The first in his family to go to college, Eric attended the University of Nevada in Las Vegas and completed five degrees, spending time away from his considerable class load interning for former U.S. Senator Richard H. Bryan (D-NV) and in the Crimes Against Women and Children Unit of the District Attorney's office. He went on to graduate from Georgetown Law, and returned to Nevada to begin building a career in the gaming industry.
Since then Eric has held every position from blackjack dealer to general manager and every job in between. Together with co-owner Justin Beltram, former Vice President of Slots at Bellagio and Marina Bay Sands, Maverick’s founders have over 40 years of gaming experience spanning gaming markets around the world including the Las Vegas Strip (Venetian, Palazzo, Bellagio), Macau (Sands China Limited), Singapore (Marina Bay Sands), and many regional markets in North America.
Eric and his wife Ann have four children ranging in ages from one to 17 years old. His company is named for his six-year-old son, Maverick.
