Jackpot Digital to be Gold Sponsor for 2017 Canadian Gaming Summit



Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Jackpot Digital Inc. (the “Company” or “Jackpot”) (TSX-V: JP) (TSX-V: JP.WT) (US OTCQB: JPOTF) (Frankfurt & Berlin Exchanges: LVH). Jackpot is pleased to announce that it will be a Gold Sponsor of the 2017 Canadian Gaming Summit (the “Summit”). The Company will use this sponsorship to publicly launch Jackpot Blitz™ (“Blitz”), the Company’s proprietary next generation gaming platform. The 2017 Summit will be held June 19-21 at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

 

The annual Canadian Gaming Summit brings together more than 1,200 gaming professionals from across Canada, representing all major lottery corporations and gaming operators in the country, for product showcases, networking, and educational sessions aimed at growing the gaming industry nation-wide. The Summit is produced by the Canadian Gaming Association (www.canadiangaming.ca) and MediaEdge Inc. (www.mediaedge.ca).

 

Jackpot Blitz™ represents a significant leap from Jackpot’s industry-leading PokerPro ETG system. PokerPro is currently in operation with cruise lines, poker rooms, and casinos worldwide. Blitz advances all features of Jackpot’s PokerPro ETGs, with one single massive touchscreen compared with PokerPro’s 11 individual monitors. Blitz’s enhanced touchscreen functionality and responsiveness also allows for a more realistic and enjoyable gaming experience. Blitz has enriched gameplay, an ergonomic table set up for improved player comfort, and a modular design allowing multiple simultaneous house banked games on a single Blitz table. Jackpot has patents pending.

 

Mr. Jake Kalpakian, Jackpot President and CEO, states "We are excited to sponsor the Canadian Gaming Summit. This will be a tremendous opportunity to showcase Jackpot Blitz to the Canadian gaming industry, and we are hopeful we will generate new client relationships during the summit.”

 

Jackpot Blitz™ will provide gaming operators with unparalleled operational efficiency and profitability through patented dealerless operations, easy-to-use gaming management software, seamless accounting, multi-table tournaments, interchangeable game offerings, and industry leading gameplay speed.

 

Blitz’s modular software platform can display multiple table games simultaneously on one Blitz table, including poker (Texas hold’em, Omaha, and video poker), blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and other casino games in any combination desired by the operator. The embedded mini-games feature will also allow players to make side bets and to play single player mini-games (blackjack, roulette, and other popular casino games) during cash and tournament poker games. The interchangeable games and mini-games features afford operators unsurpassed flexibility and profit maximization through high table occupancy and continuous gameplay.

 

Jackpot’s comprehensive back-end system will allow gaming operators of all sizes to offer poker, blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and other casino games using Jackpot Blitz™. Blitz operators will have full access to Jackpot’s mobile application for table, tournament, and customer management from any desktop or tablet computer. The player kiosk facilitates player deposits, payouts, and registration in a simple automated process. The back-end system provides operators real-time reporting and the ability to track profits, rake totals, and other key industry metrics.

 

Jackpot plans to launch Blitz in Q2 of 2017.
