A Bold Leap into Skill-Based Gaming
Jackpot.com is raising the stakes in the gaming industry, embarking on a pioneering journey with THNDR to introduce peer-to-peer skill games and competitive tournaments. This strategic move, announced from San Francisco, reflects a significant shift from typical lottery fare like draw games and scratch tickets to a more engaging and diversified gaming experience. The traditional lottery setup just got a major revamp.
Game-Changer in Lottery Services
Breaking away from its lottery roots, Jackpot.com is entering the $46 billion skill game market. Unlike games of chance that rely solely on luck, skill games let players shape their own destinies. Offering a variety that includes Blackjack, Skill Slots, and Solitaire, the platform promises thrill-seekers a chance to flex their strategic muscles — essentially gamifying skills with stakes.
"Skill games make a lottery product more competitive and more complete... this partnership is just getting started." – Desiree Dickerson, CEO, THNDR
Expanding Horizons with THNDR
Powered by an alliance with THNDR's innovative platform, Jackpot.com leverages their expansive cross-operator network. THNDR's reputation precedes it, boasting impressive stats: over 160 million games hosted with an astonishing 99.99% match-fill rate. That's bound to resonate with thrill-chasers looking for more than the average lottery ticket. Jackpot.com and THNDR are not just reshuffling the deck; they’re dealing a whole new hand.
