Taiwan-based supplier Jumbo Technology Co. Ltd. launched a new progressive jackpot link called “Bao Ni Fa” at the recent G2E Asia trade show, with plans to release the product to casinos in the third quarter of 2019.
“We are having a very good feedback over this product and a lot of interaction with potential customers during the show,” said Allen Hsu, Jumbo’s vice president for business development, in an interview with GGRAsia.
“We are hoping to launch it to the market in the third quarter this year. We are in the process of getting the product certified and acquiring the necessary approvals for different regions.”
The executive said Jumbo planned to introduce the Bao Ni Fa link in a number of jurisdictions across Asia. “Macau is one of the main markets, but we are also looking at the Philippines, Cambodia, and South Korea,” he stated.
Bao Ni Fa is a progressive linked jackpot offering two different Asian-themed base games, “Power Dragon” and “Power Mask”. It will be available on Jumbo’s latest D-27 cabinet, featuring dual 27-inch high-definition displays, according to information from the company.
“The dual screen continues to be the trend in Asia,” Hsu told GGRAsia. “In other markets, bigger and curved screens are becoming popular, but here in Asia, according to our research, the dual screen is still the most popular feature.”
