ivers Casino Philadelphia chooses TCSJOHNHUXLEY’s Chipper Champ Pro after extensive trial
TCSJOHNHUXLEY is proud to announce it has successfully installed 7 Chipper Champ Pros at Rivers Casino Philadelphia in Pennsylvania after an extensive side-by-side 90 day trial.
Since its launch the Chipper Champ has been an industry benchmark product, by which all others are measured and the new Chipper Champ Pro carries forward this same pedigree. Every detail of the Chipper Champ Pro has been created with its users in mind. By working with casino managers, service engineers and most importantly dealers, the ‘Pro’ has been designed to be the most reliable and cost effective chipper to operate and maintain.
The Chipper Champ Pro has new stand-out features that include an innovative fold away 10” touch screen, providing more information to casino personnel right on the gaming floor, along with enhanced security through two built-in cameras which allows approved gaming staff to see inside without having to remove panels and interrupt the game.
Greg Stewart, TCSJOHNHUXLEY Head of Sales for North America, comments, “Thank you Bennie Mancino and the rest of the staff at Rivers Casino Philadelphia for giving us a chance to prove the Chipper Champ Pro stands out from the rest. Our newest Chipper has state-of-the-art features and benefits as well as being the most reliable chipper to operate. Adding chip sorters to the casino’s Roulette tables will certainly increase productivity and game performance. We truly appreciate this opportunity!”

Jackpot Digital Receives Approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority
Jackpot Digital, a leading manufacturer of electronic multiplayer dealerless poker tables, has announced that it has received approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) to act as a registered supplier of gaming supplies and services to regulated casinos in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
The approval follows the Company’s news release dated February 6, 2024, announcing the signing of a licensing agreement with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) to install the Company’s Jackpot Blitz dealerless poker ETGs into SIGA casinos.
SIGA operates seven casinos and Playnow.com in Saskatchewan. At the outset, SIGA proposes to install Jackpot Blitz machines at its Dakota Dunes and Gold Horse Casino properties, located in Saskatoon and Lloydminster, respectively.
Jackpot CEO Jake Kalpakian said: “We are excited to receive approval as a gaming equipment supplier in Saskatchewan. This represents the first major jurisdictional, non-tribal license received by Jackpot during our continuing expansion into the land-based casino market. We have many more license applications underway in the US and other Canadian provinces, which will dramatically impact our ability to accelerate the rollout of Jackpot Blitz across North America.”

Play Alberta, CSEC Extend Partnership
Teams under the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) banner have expanded their long-term partnership with Play Alberta, the province’s premier iGaming destination. As part of the agreement, the Flames will feature AGLC’s responsible gambling program, GameSense, on their home helmets and a Play Alberta insignia displayed on their home jerseys. The Stampeders, Wranglers, and Roughnecks will integrate the Play Alberta logo onto their uniforms.
“There’s significant importance now to showcase meaningful responsible gambling efforts in the iGaming industry. I’m proud of our initiatives to provide GameSense with such a visible platform. GameSense promotes healthy gambling habits online and in person and including AGLC’s responsible gambling platform over the course of this partnership is a huge accomplishment,” Kandice Machado, Chief Executive Officer at AGLC.
The agreement makes Play Alberta the exclusive sports betting and online gaming partner of the Flames, Wranglers, Stampeders, and Roughnecks. Through the partnership, Play Alberta and CSEC will develop unique partnerships and in-arena giveaways during the season.
“Through GameSense, our partnership with Play Alberta equips our fans with the knowledge required if they wish to participate in gaming while they support their home team. We are both proud and excited to extend our relationship with Play Alberta that makes cheering for our teams that much more fun while also generating revenue to support the quality of life for Albertans,” said CSEC President and CEO Robert Hayes.
Alberta is the first jurisdiction in North America to partner with professional sports franchises and integrate PlayAlberta.ca and social responsibility branding onto uniforms. It upholds AGLC’s commitment to responsible play, raising awareness of GameSense and Self-Exclusion, resources that give bettors the tools they need to make healthy gambling choices.
In addition, proceeds generated through the website go toward the province’s General Revenue Fund. In 2023–24, $235 million was generated for programs and services that Albertans rely on every day through Play Alberta, an increase of more than $42 million from the previous year.
