MBABANE - Early this week, the leading developer of electronic table games, Jackpot Digital, announced that it has inked a licensing agreement with Pigg’s Peak Hotel and Casino.

The deal will allow the British Columbian (BC) company to supply the casino with four of its cutting-edge Jackpot BlitzTM Electronic Table Games. However, the agreement is still subject to regulatory approvals.

Jackpot Digital Inc. is one of the leading developers of electronic table games for the cruise ship and the regulated casino industry. The company’s trademark products are multiplaye­r games, including poker and casino games, which are complement­ed by a suite of backend tools for operators. Thus, allowing them to properly control and optimise gaming operations.

Electronic

The agreement between the electronic table games provider and the Eswatini casino brand was announced on August 2, 2022.

It would allow for the B.C. Company to expand its area of operations by delivering four of its Jackpot BlitzTM ETGs to the country. However, the licensing agreement was not finalised as it was subject to more regulatory approvals.

Willie Delport, Managing Director of the casino said that they were excited to introduce the ETG product to their guests, as the team wanted to bring back the poker culture.

“The casino has hosted numerous big tournament­s on its premises and we are now thrilled to have poker action again. The casino will announce when the new offering is live,” he said.

President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackpot Digital, Jake Kalpakian, shared that the manufactur­er was quite proud to be collaborat­ing with Pigg’s Peak Hotel and Casino, which was the company’s first official partnershi­p in Africa.

Markets

He said that Jackpot Blitz enjoyed strong interest from numerous industry markets, and he was confident that it could leave a mark on the global sector.

Last month, the B.C.-based manufactur­er also announced a partnershi­p with Rosebud Casino in South Dakota. Through this agreement, the supplier received permission to install two of its popular Jackpot Blitz ETGs at the casino property thus securing even broader exposure of its already popular products across gambling markets in North America and entertaini­ng even more gamblers.

However, that is not all, as Jackpot Digital has also signed collaborat­ion with Casino Pauma in California. The premium gaming property is located in Pauma Valley and it boasts a gaming floor of over 1 000 slot machines, and live table games with Blackjack, roulette, and poker.
