Habanero introduces Jackpot Race

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Premium slots and table games provider Habanero has launched Jackpot Race – a new patent pending jackpot system that is shared among a pool of winners.

The jackpot accumulates value and at a configured time the race starts – during which the jackpot must be triggered before the cut off time. When the pay-out event triggers – players who are actively playing are allocated winnings in order of the received bet on the server. Payouts are based according to the configurable prize pool.

The Jackpot Race is fully customizable, allowing operators to tailor the parameters to suit their and their players’ needs. An operator can choose any number of slots to feature in the race, the duration of the accumulation period and race schedule, minimum qualifying bet size and the prize pool allocation.

For example, an operator chooses six slot games and a three-hour race period commencing at 8 p.m. on Friday night. The jackpot will accumulate value from all play outside of the race period and during the race itself.

At 8 p.m. on Friday, the Jackpot Race will begin. Some time between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. the payout event will trigger with the likelihood increasing towards the end of the race. Winners are paid out according to a pool such as 50% for the 1st position, 30% for the second position and 20% for 10 additional places.

Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said, “We are delighted to release Jackpot Race.”

“We call it the Jackpot Race because it is both competitive by design, and because many players can win simultaneously on a split share of the pay-out.

“The offering includes assistance with customized promotional content, as well as all the built-in feedback and dialogues within the game which will serve to keep excitement high.

“And, of course, it gives operators the opportunity to fully customize their very own Jackpot Race. We are sure players and operators alike are going to be delighted by this exciting addition to our portfolio.”
