Vancouver-based casino supplier Jackpot Digital has signed a master leasing agreement with the casino division of Loto-Québec.

The manufacturer of electronic dealerless poker tables will supply 12 of its Jackpot Blitz machines to the Société des casinos du Québec Inc. The machines will be installed at Casino de Montréal, Gatineau’s Casino du Lac-Leamy, Casino de Mont-Tremblant and La Malbaie’s Casino de Charlevoix.

The Jackpot Blitz is a fully automated dealerless poker electronic table game with a 75-inch touchscreen tabletop that combines traditional poker with dealerless technology.

The company and the crown corporation will discuss adding more machines at other properties throughout Loto-Québec properties across the province after the initial deployment of 12, said a release, as a part of Loto-Québec’s poker strategy.

Jackpot Digital spreading across North America

It’s the latest in a slate of land-based installations or orders in Canada and the U.S. announced by Jackpot Digital.

At home, it secured a license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in December to enter the province’s extensive retail casino market. It previously received approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) back in December for its first major jurisdictional, non-tribal license.

This month, it was approved by the Maine Gambling Control Unit to provide its products in Maine, its first U.S. state license. Until that deal, its U.S. operations had been exclusively through the company’s tribal gaming casino partners, but CEO Jake Kalpakian said the Maine deal would start a new state licensing-focused approach.

It already also has a footprint in California, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington, as well as several international jurisdictions.

The company boasts Pro Football Hall of Famer and Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson as an ambassador.
