Pechanga Development Corporation Board Members and Pechanga Resort Casino executives joined Jackpot Digital’s leadership teams in cutting the ceremonial ribbon to usher in the eight new electronic tables. Pechanga Resort Casino’s Vice President of Table Games, Paul Mollo, also helped give away prizes such as EasyPlay and apparel to Pechanga guests eager to find out about the excitement.

The launch marks an important milestone for both companies. Guests will find the dealerless and fast-action poker games in the Table Games section of the resort/casino, near the casino floor escalator. This launch also represents Jackpot Digital’s largest single-property deployment to date.

With the launch of Jackpot Blitz®, Pechanga is bringing the social energy and excitement of digital poker to its casino floor in a new format designed to deliver a fast, engaging experience for both longtime poker players and a new generation of guests.

“We’re excited to bring this energized and social experience to Pechanga Resort Casino with a modern dealerless format. We think guests new to the game, and those who have loved it for years will really enjoy Jackpot Blitz® and the benefits it brings to poker play,” said Paul Mollo, Vice President of Table Games at Pechanga Resort Casino.

Jackpot Blitz® combines the social, face-to-face experience with the speed, consistency and convenience of digital technology. Players remain together at a shared table while the system manages the game electronically. Each table features an immersive, 75-inch touchscreen interface. It also showcases Jackpot Digital’s proprietary card-bending technology, which mechanically bends and reveals each player’s cards at the table in real time, recreating the familiar experience of checking a physical poker hand. The result is a modern poker experience designed to deliver consistent gameplay and efficient table operation.

This launch is also an important milestone for Jackpot Digital, demonstrating the scalability of our dealerless poker platform.”
