Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2026) - Jackpot Digital Inc. (TSXV: JJ) (OTCQB: JPOTF) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: LVH3) (the "Company" or "Jackpot Digital"), the world's leading provider of innovative dealerless electronic poker gaming solutions, is pleased to announce it has been granted its manufacturer and supplier permits from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. This approval authorizes the Company to supply and service its Jackpot Blitz® dealerless electronic table games ("ETGs") to licensed casinos throughout the State of Louisiana.
The Company already has several planned installations in partnership with a leading national casino operator in Louisiana.
Louisiana represents one of the largest and most dynamic commercial gaming markets in the United States. The state's 24 physical casinos, comprising riverboat, land-based, and racino properties, generated approximately US$2.5 billion in annual adjusted gross revenue in 2025 [source: casinos.com], positioning Louisiana among the top-tier commercial gaming jurisdictions nationwide. With a broad footprint anchored in major population centers, including New Orleans, Shreveport-Bossier City, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge, the Louisiana casino market offers Jackpot a high-value, multi-venue expansion opportunity.
This Louisiana permits mark the Company's fourth commercial state-level approval in the United States, following prior approvals in Michigan, Mississippi, and Maine. Each state-level license enables Jackpot to access the entire market within the jurisdiction, allowing deployment of its Jackpot Blitz® ETGs across multiple casinos under a single regulatory framework and typically within major urban and resort corridors. This "one-license-to-many-casinos" model accelerates the Company's ability to scale its casino footprint.
The Louisiana approval underscores Jackpot's ongoing strategy to expand its presence in land-based casinos across the United States and globally. The Company's flagship product, Jackpot Blitz® ETG - featuring dealerless, multi-player poker - has already been installed or ordered in multiple U.S. tribal casinos as well as onboard cruise-ships with major operators. With addition of Louisiana, Jackpot continues to strengthen its position as the global leading provider of scalable, digital-forward dealerless poker solutions.
"We are extremely pleased to receive approval in Louisiana, one of the most significant and vibrant casino markets in the country," said Jake Kalpakian, CEO of Jackpot Digital. "This milestone adds to our growing series of licensing wins, showcasing the strength of our technology and compliance standards, while unlocking new opportunities across a premier casino market. With Michigan, Mississippi, Maine and now Louisiana on our licensing map, we are accelerating our go-to-market strategy and laying the foundation for broader international expansion of the Jackpot Blitz® ETGs."
Jackpot Digital continues to pursue additional licensing applications in other U.S. jurisdictions and international markets as part of its long-term strategy to expand its global installed base and drive recurring revenue growth from its ETG platform.
Jackpot Digital is now licensed in multiple U.S. jurisdictions, including Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi and U.S. Virgin Islands, several international jurisdictions. The Company also holds licenses to operate in tribal casinos in California, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, and Oregon.
