The company was issued a Minnesota vendor license.

Jackpot Digital has gained a vendor license in Minnesota from Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Garming Regulatory Authority. The approval paves the way for Jackpot Digital to install its casino machines at Grand Casino Mille Lacs.

Jackpot Blitz is compatible with most casino management systems. The machine features direct cash in and tick out functionality. It also supports the slot accounting system (SAS) protocol.

Within the last few months, Jackpot Blitz has passed all scheduled testing and earned multiple certifications from Gaming Labs International (GLI).

Jackpot is set to install to dealerless Jackpot Blitz next generation machines in the casino. The company has expanded its land-based reach throughout the US and is present in California, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, US Virgin Islands and Washington.

The company also provides machines and electronic table games to several cruise ships, including Carnival Cruises, Virgin Voyages, Princess Cruises, Holland America, AIDA and Costa Cruises.

Company President and CEO Jake Kalpakian commented, “Until recently, we have largely been a cruise ship focused business, and have been limited from entering the land-based market in any significant way. That has now changed.

“We can now start installing our order backlog into land-based casinos, the market segment which we expect will drive significant growth for the company."

The Grand Casino Mille Lacs Hotel is known as one of the largest casino hotels in the state and offers its guests 494 rooms along with a casino gaming floor. Its grand arcade features more than 80 games.
