Remote Product Development Revolutionizes Electronic Gaming Tables for Jackpot Digital
INDUSTRY:
Casino, Gaming
TYPE OF WORK:
Concept Development, CAD Modelling, Fabrication
The gaming industry was hit hard during the pandemic, we needed to move quickly and taking a gamble on a remote team was risky. From day one we got great vibes and the Enginuity team pulled together in spite of distance and challenging supply chains. Seeing a new product on the showfloor at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention was amazing and it fuels the post-covid recovery of the business.

About the Client
Jackpot Digital
Jackpot Digital Inc. is a leader in the development of electronic gaming tables and mobile gaming platforms for the cruise ship and regulated casino markets. With over a decade of industry experience, the company specializes in multi-player digital and casino gaming products, including state-of-the-art electronic poker and casino game tables.
These products are enhanced by robust backend tools that enable operators to efficiently manage and optimize their gaming operations.
Understanding the Problem
The Challenge
The COVID-19 pandemic created urgent demand for electronic gaming tables that could be sanitized easily and operated without physical dealer interactions. The other main challenge was to make the prototype flexible so it can be easily carried to trade shows. To meet with these challenges, Jackpot Digital needed to upgrade their existing prototype.
Step 01: Concept Development and CAD Modeling
3D CAD modeling advances our digital poker table design, integrating key concepts for gaming product development.
Step 02: Detailed Engineering Design
Detailed engineering design emphasizes usability and incorporates touchless casino gaming technology, enhancing user safety and experience.
Step 03: Prototype Fabrication and Testing
Prototype fabrication focuses on managing the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM), ensuring modular and adaptable gaming accessories design.
Step 04: Product Build and Testing
Engineering design outsourcing aids Jackpot’s in-house assembly, facilitating effective system integration and testing at their facility.
Solving the Challenge
The Solution
To accommodate Jackpot Digital’s requirements, we implemented a remote product development and engineering design outsourcing strategy. When meeting with the Jackpot Team, our engineering discovery team understood these soft requirements and hard performance requirements such as structural rigidity, heat dissipation/management, and component integration.
Enginuity and Jackpot maintained open lines of communication throughout the process, whether it was major milestones/decisions such as overall structural architecture, or fine details such as whether an edge was straight or curved. To further mitigate risk, Enginuity and Jackpot agreed to deliver the unassembled parts to Jackpot’s facility in British Colombia, accelerating their ability to integrate and test their hardware and software.
Though this was a departure from the conventional approach of Enginuity building the system, we pivoted to supporting the client in their build effort as much as possible.
Summarizing the Outcome
The Conclusion
In conclusion, our strategic approach to Jackpot Digital’s project not only addressed immediate needs but set new standards in casino gaming development. By seamlessly integrating advanced CAD modeling and remote product development into our strategy, we delivered a solution that was both innovative and adaptable.
This project emphasis how effective collaboration and expert engineering can overcome industry challenges and lead to groundbreaking outcomes.
