HotSeat Jackpot Comes to Northern California
It allows guests to enjoy their favorite table games while competing in hourly jackpot drawings, with bets ranging from $1 to $100. Known in different regions as HotSeat Lotto or HotSeat Jackpot, this innovative concept enhances traditional hot-seat games using digital technology and a community-centric approach. Every table in the casino is equipped with a tablet that connects with all other tables. Each hour, a four-minute window opens for betting and players are notified via the tablet. Every dollar wagered during this window counts as an entry into the drawing so the prize grows as more players participate.
We are excited to be the first to offer HotSeat Jackpot, which provides our guests with a convenient digital hot seat drawing experience every hour. At Harrah’s, we are always focused on elevating our guests’ experience by providing unique and fun gaming opportunities they can’t find anywhere else.
During these four-minute betting windows, players can track the total amount wagered across all accounts in real time and see the jackpot grow. Once the window closes, no further bets are accepted. A lucky winner is then selected at random by the computer and the result is displayed on screens above every table throughout the casino.

Lance Lietzau, CEO of HotSeat Jackpot, praised the partnership with Harrah’s Northern California for the US introduction of their product. He explained that the game has been a hit at several Mexican casinos and that as it can be configured to link multiple casinos of the same brand together, there were no problems launching it in a new country.
HotSeat Jackpot was developed in response to player complaints about the infrequency and inconvenient timing of hot seat promotions. By transforming these intermittent events into hourly occurrences available at all tables simultaneously, HotSeat Jackpot significantly increases player engagement.
