The industry-leading agreement covers Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, and Live! Casino Pittsburgh

LAS VEGAS  – JCM Global® has entered into a master supplier agreement with The Cordish Companies, expanding a long-term partnership between the two companies. The industry-leading agreement establishes JCM as the exclusive provider for bill validators, thermal printers, and peripheral management systems for all their gaming casino properties: Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, and Live! Casino Pittsburgh.

JCM will upgrade the thermal printers at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland to the standard-setting GEN5 Thermal Printer. The property is already equipped with JCM’s award-winning iVIZION® bill validator and Intelligent Cash Box System (ICB®) system.

The Cordish Companies will expand their gaming operations by opening the new Live! Casino Pittsburgh in late 2020 with 750 electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and the new Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in early 2021 with 2,255 EGMs. Both properties will feature the award-winning iVIZION® bill validator, the GEN5 thermal printer, and the ICB system.

With the solid foundation of iVIZION and GEN5, The Cordish Companies are prepared for the future and equipped to unleash the power of JCM’s FUZION®, the only system that enables complete peripheral management over EGM bill validators, thermal printers, and other connected peripherals.

Cordish Gaming Group President, Robert Norton, said, “At Cordish Companies, we are focused on bringing the most innovative products, the best technology solutions, and maximum benefits to our properties. Expanding our partnership with JCM through this master supplier agreement further positions our gaming floors for the future, enabling us to provide even higher levels of customer service to our guests while increasing security and accountability across the operation.”

“Throughout their history, The Cordish Companies have been leaders and visionaries for the gaming industry. This unique and extraordinary deal builds on our long-term relationship with Live! and expands on our partnership to create an amazing corporate-wide opportunity for JCM,” JCM SVP Sales, Marketing, & Operations, Dave Kubajak, said. “Our casino partners trust and rely on JCM to provide the most secure, most innovative, most efficient transaction technologies available anywhere. We are honored to extend that trust with The Cordish Companies across multiple properties and into the future.”

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.

Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.

Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.

Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.

Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.

Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.

“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”

Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.

“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
