Electronic Table Games Boom: The Next Big Play in the Casino Industry
Electronic Table Games (ETGs) have quickly gained popularity in casinos across the United States, Canada, and internationally. While dealerless electronic versions of many casino games have been in existence for decades, advancements in technology have significantly improved their appeal. As a result, these games have become a staple in modern casinos, attracting a growing number of players and increasing market share.
The surge in ETG popularity can largely be attributed to their timely emergence as a solution to post-pandemic challenges. After COVID-related lockdowns, casinos faced both labor shortages and increased demand for table games that minimized face-to-face interaction. Simultaneously, rapid technological advancements made ETGs more engaging and efficient. As casino managers recognized that players enjoyed these games all while reducing costs, ETGs quickly became a permanent fixture on gaming floors.
According to some industry estimates, revenue from Electronic Table Games is expected to reach approximately $2 billion in 2024 and could increase to nearly $3.5 billion by 2030. With such strong growth projections, ETGs have become a sector worth watching in both the short and long term.
Several companies poised to benefit from the growth of Electronic Table Games (ETGs) include Light & Wonder Inc. (Nasdaq: LNW), IGT (NYSE: IGT), and Jackpot Digital Inc. (TSX-Venture: JJ) (OTCQB: JPOTF).
Light & Wonder, Inc., formerly known as Scientific Gaming, provides gambling products and services. Light & Wonder's gaming division provides products such as slot machines, table games, shuffling machines, and casino management systems.
When discussing ETG growth, here's what Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Light & Wonder, Victor Blanco had to say. 'We'll see the adoption rates of ETGs grow as more players embrace the excitement, convenience and expanded connectivity of ETGs, and as operators realize the total benefits that ETGs have for their operation.

Another large cap in the space, International Game Technology PLC (IGT) provides gaming experiences for players across all channels and regulated segments, from Lotteries and Gaming Machines to Sports Betting and Digital.
While the above two companies are embracing ETG's in their overall product mix, a pure-play on ETG's can be found with Jackpot Digital Inc. (TSX-Venture:JJ) (OTCQB:JPOTF).
This micro-cap is the leading manufacturer of electronic dealerless multiplayer poker tables, with virtually no competition in the subsector of poker ETGs.
The Company's business model is simple: install its unique, automated, electronic dealerless poker machines on cruise lines, as well as regulated land-based casinos, in exchange for a share of the gross gaming revenue generated by those machines. Each new table deployed adds to the monthly recurring revenue of the company.
From 2015 – 2023, the Company's largest customer and primary source of revenue has been Carnival Cruises with machine installations on approximately 50 vessels.
After the pandemic in late-2021, the Company endeavored to expand its business into regulated land-based casinos and redesigned its Jackpot Blitz® machines to accommodate the regulated land-based casino market.
As a North America-based company, Jackpot Digital first introduced the Jackpot Blitz® machines to U.S. tribal-owned Indian Gaming casinos with positive initial uptake. Since 2022, the Company signed a Master Agreement with Penn Entertainment, the largest regional gaming operator in the United States.
In addition to its Penn deal, the Company has signed several licensing deals with Indian casinos, as well as a growing list of commercial casinos throughout the United States.
In Canada, it has signed a Master Agreement with Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, which operates 7 casinos across the province of Saskatchewan. The Company recently was approved by AGCO (Ontario – Canada's most populous province) and has expansion plans across that province due to expressed demand from commercial casinos in Ontario.
Jackpot Digital just announced that it had signed a master leasing agreement with Loto-Québec, which is the monopoly and sole casino operator in the province of Quebec, Canada's second largest province by population. For the year to date (April 1 to December 31, 2024), Loto-Québec reported revenue of $2.23 billion, a 6% increase year-over-year, with a net income of $1.13 billion, up 5.2%. These strong financial results position Loto-Québec as a major North American casino operator. (Source: https://www.canadiangamingbusiness.com/2025/03/17/loto-quebec-reports-profits-grew-q3/).
The initial order from Loto-Québec is for twelve (12) Jackpot Blitz® casino machines, and the Company will be in discussions to expand Jackpot Blitz® deployments across the Province of Québec, as a part of Loto-Québec's poker strategy.
Jackpot Digital is also planning an expansion into new cruise lines. Royal Caribbean is currently testing installations on its vessels with product deployments expected in 2025. The Company also continues to see strong interest in their product among several international markets.
Another way to play this growth area in the gaming space, although less directly, is through a global gaming company such as MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM).
The COVID pandemic disrupted businesses worldwide, but it also sparked the emergence and rapid growth of new industries, including the Electronic Table Games (ETG) sector.
One thing is certain—society has a strong passion for gaming. As long as that enthusiasm continues, demand for companies in this industry is expected to grow.
