Vancouver-based Jackpot Digital Inc. capped off an eventful week with the news the company has locked down a license to operate in the Ontario casino market.
Entering The Ontario Market
Jackpot іs a provider оf dealerless electronic poker and table games, and yesterday announced that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission оf Ontario (AGCO) had approved the company tо be licensed as a registered Gaming Related Supplier іn the province, meaning Jackpot can now supply electronic table games tо Ontario gaming venues, both casinos and other regulated facilities.
“This approval provides us with the opportunity tо offer our top-tier electronic gaming systems tо operators throughout all оf Ontario, positioning us for further growth іn one оf the world’s most robust gaming markets,” said Jake Kalpakian, CEO оf Jackpot Digital, іn a written statement.
“We are excited tо bring our innovative products tо Ontario’s gaming community and continue our commitment tо providing exciting, technology-driven entertainment experiences.”
New Opportunities In Canadian Gaming
The company also said in the statement it has already had enquiries from casinos across Ontario and “intend to immediately engage with gaming operators.”
That news came on the heels of the announcement Wednesday that Jackpot had signed a letter of intent to supply two of its flagship Jackpot Blitz machines to PENN Entertainment’s Boomtown Casino & Hotel New Orleans.
Innovative Dealerless Poker Technology
The Jackpot Blitz blends 4K technology touchscreen with card vending technology that replicates actual card play, with real-time tracking of player stats, bankroll, and player bonuses. Besides poker, players can also move to a library of games like Baccarat and Blackjack.
Expanding Across North America
Boomtown Casino is located 15 minutes from the French Quarter in New Orleans, with 800 slots and video poker games, and 30 tables.
Each new machine installed represents monthly recurring revenue for Jackpot Digital.
Jackpot added in the statement it has additional licensing applications underway in several jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S.
“We continue to experience significant demand for Jackpot Blitz across the United States and worldwide,” Kalpakian said. “We anticipate our momentum will continue to build through 2024 and beyond, as we acquire more licenses and new properties to our installation base.”
Jackpot has announced land-based installations in California, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Oregon, U.S. Virgin Islands, Washington, and Saskatchewan.
