An Asian gaming machine supplier has claimed Evolution’s Lightning series infringed its patented dynamic odds game mechanic.
Taiwanese gaming equipment maker Jumbo Technology has filed a patent infringement suit against the live casino giant, alleging its popular Lightning-branded games use Jumbo’s patented “dynamic raised odds” feature.
In a complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware on 29 May, Jumbo accused Evolution of wilfully infringing US Patent No. 9,646,459, a patent granted in 2017 for a system that randomly generates enhanced odds in games such as roulette, baccarat and dice…
According to Jumbo, the feature is designed to increase player engagement by offering intermittent boosted payouts, while maintaining profitability for operators.
