The platform is designed to help casino operators optimize their gaming floor economics while driving incremental revenue.
"Partnering with Gila River Resorts & Casinos is an exciting moment for Jackpot Digital," said Jake Kalpakian, President and CEO of Jackpot Digital. "Gila River is one of the most respected tribal gaming operators in the United States, with a four-property network serving hundreds of thousands of players across the Phoenix metropolitan area each year. Launching at Wild Horse Pass - the crown jewel of the Gila River portfolio - provides exceptional visibility for Jackpot Blitz® and a strong proof-of-concept for our technology in a premier gaming environment. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with the Gila River Indian Community and the entire Gila River Resorts & Casino team."
