Vancouver, British Columbia – July 7, 2021 – Jackpot Digital Inc. (the “Company” or “Jackpot”) (TSX-V: JJ) (TSX-V: JJ.WT.A) (TSX-V: JJ.WT.B) (TSX-V: JJ.WT.C)(US OTCQB: JPOTF) (Frankfurt & Berlin Exchanges: LVH3) is pleased to announce that its largest customer, Carnival Corporation & plc, kicked off its first cruise in almost 16 months from the Port of Miami, the Cruise Capital of the World, on July 4 with the departure of the Carnival Horizon.
The ramp up toward regular sailings from Miami, the world’s largest cruise ship port, also signals the re-start of gaming activity on cruise ships. Jackpot Blitz™ electronic table games (ETGs) are installed aboard many of these ships and have generated revenues for Jackpot.
Jackpot Digital CEO, Jake Kalpakian, states “the resumption of sailings by our largest customer is meaningful and we expect an immediate and positive revenue impact for our Company. We are emerging from a challenging year when ships and their casinos were closed. A return to business with our at-sea customers will complement Jackpot’s aggressive land-based expansion plans. Since receiving GLI certification, the Company has experienced increased interest in its ETGs from regulated land-based casinos.”
The Company has positioned itself as a leading provider of ETGs on cruise ships around the world including leading brands such as Carnival, Princess, Costa and Virgin Voyages. This winter, the Company is also scheduled to begin installations aboard Royal Caribbean vessels.
Jackpot’s recent acquisition of key assets from 52 Gaming LLC have also added Holland America and P&O Australia to its roster of customers.
In addition to the Miami departures, many more ships are scheduled to depart from multiple ports as the cruise ship industry moves toward resuming normal operations.
