PLAYSTUDIOS is delighted to present Lucky Numbers, a multi-site art installation that brings together five of Las Vegas’ most unique, creative talents in celebration of the launch of myVEGAS Bingo—our newest mobile gaming app. The colorful, eclectic work of these local artists was inspired by the relentless spirit of our city, and their range of perspectives reflects the richness of our global audience. We take great pride in our Las Vegas roots and we are grateful for the opportunity to support these members of our dynamic community.
Jerry Misko’s art reflects the soul and spirit of his hometown of Las Vegas with intoxicating imagery and iconography inspired by memories of late nights and neon lights. His work is frequently in demand among private collectors worldwide, and is featured in corporate collections from Saks Fifth Avenue to Cirque du Soleil.

Nancy Good was born in Texas and has lived and worked in Las Vegas since 2011. Her creative pursuits over the past three decades have been heavily influenced by travels to Australia, Africa, and Vietnam; a childhood in Japan; adult life as an artist, photographer, musician, fly-fishing guide, backpacker, writer, and teacher in Montana, Nevada, California, Tennessee, and Illinois; along with her eclectic DNA, revealing connections with cultures the world over. A common thread through Good’s work is how she employs materials and tools of modern times while playfully incorporating the aesthetics of ancient cultures, including symbols and primitive mark-making.
Ms. Good’s bingo ball is located on the New York-New York Brooklyn Bridge.
