Jackpot Digital enters Arizona’s tribal gaming market for the first time
Jackpot Digital has agreed a deal to roll out its dealerless electronic poker table games at Gila River’s four casinos in Arizona.
The master software license and equipment lease agreement with Gila River Gaming Enterprises will see the company deploy its Jackpot Blitz electronic poker tables at all four Gila River venues, beginning with the launch of two tables at Gila River Resorts & Casinos Wild Horse Pass.
The rollout marks the company’s entry into the Arizona tribal gaming market and will serve as a showcase deployment of the Jackpot Blitz solution, which promises faster gameplay, reduced operating costs, and a highly engaging player experience.
“Partnering with Gila River Resorts & Casinos is an exciting moment for Jackpot Digital,” said Jake Kalpakian, president and chief executive of Jackpot Digital. “Gila River is one of the most respected tribal gaming operators in the United States, with a four-property network serving hundreds of thousands of players across the Phoenix metropolitan area each year.
“Launching at Wild Horse Pass — the crown jewel of the Gila River portfolio — provides exceptional visibility for Jackpot Blitz and a strong proof-of-concept for our technology in a premier gaming environment. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with the Gila River Indian Community and the entire Gila River Resorts & Casino team.”
