Jackpot Digital has been licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to enter the province’s casino market.

Jackpot Digital styles itself as the world’s leading provider of innovative dealerless electronic poker gaming solutions. It now has the right to supply its electronic table games to Ontario’s gaming venues, including casinos and other regulated gaming facilities.

The company, one of numerous gaming industry firms headquartered in Vancouver, called the license a “significant achievement” that allows it to enter one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing regulated gaming markets in North America.

“Receiving AGCO’s approval is a major milestone,” said CEO Jake Kalpakian. “This approval provides us with the opportunity to offer our top-tier electronic gaming systems to operators throughout all of Ontario, positioning us for further growth in one of the world’s most robust gaming markets. We are excited to bring our innovative products to Ontario’s gaming community and continue our commitment to providing exciting, technology-driven entertainment experiences.”

Jackpot Digital noted it has attracted interest as a supplier from casinos across the province, and intends to immediately engage with gaming operators, exploring strategic partnerships to introduce its products to the Ontario market. It also divulged that it has filed additional licensing applications in several jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S.

Jackpot Digital already works with Saskatchewan casinos

The Ontario approval follows a recent green light from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) to supply games to that authority’s seven casinos, beginning with the Jackpot Blitz dealerless poker machines at the authority’s seven casinos.

That deal was the first major jurisdictional, non-tribal license the company received during its continuing expansion into the land-based casino market.

The supplier has a growing North American footprint. It has announced land-based installations or orders in markets including California, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Oregon, Washington and several international jurisdictions.
