What is Loki Loot?
Patent squabbles, including those pertaining to geolocation services, aren’t unheard of in the online gaming space. How things shake out in the Cantor Fitzgerald/DraftKings spat remains to be seen, but it’s possible the deck is stacked against the gaming company.
The Commerce Department has jurisdiction over the USPTO, meaning Lutnick is the boss of the USPTO Director John Squires. Squires, who became 60th director of the USPTO a year ago, has been publicly effusive in his praise of Lutnick.
More relevant to DraftKings is the fact that under his leadership, the patent office has moved to significantly limit access to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) – the very board to which the gaming company is appealing in an effort to have the Cantor patent annulled.
About Loki Loot
Blueprint has been explicit about the commercial thinking. Alex Naspe, marketing director at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Building on the success of Triple Action Cash Strike, we have welcomed the return of the pots mechanic, showcased through a vibrant display featuring fireballs with a series of modifiers for a heightened bonus experience.” He added that the studio expects the title to “further strengthen the series’ position within our portfolio and deliver another engaging addition for our operator partners and their players worldwide.”
The release underlines Blueprint’s ability to introduce fresh iterations to a series players already know
That framing positions Triple Power Cash Strike as a portfolio-reinforcement play. It’s no break with the studio’s established output. The release underlines Blueprint’s ability to introduce fresh iterations to a series players already know, blending new features with mechanics that have proven their worth. For a franchise already earning across multiple regulated markets, that is the point. Extend what works, and keep the series in front of both operators and returning players.

For Wilson, the bigger point is not who else may follow, but why operators need these tools in the first place. Splash Tech was built to help operators make existing content portfolios work harder, using free-to-play experiences and a supplier-agnostic jackpot engine to drive engagement, retention, cross-sell and lifetime value across casino, sportsbook and third-party content.
Jackpots and free-to-play may be very different propositions, but Wilson judges both against the same unromantic measure: whether they produce value for the operator.
For free-to-play, that process can begin before the customer has committed money. “It’s about building muscle memory, providing achievable incentives to players and gamification,” Wilson explains. By lowering the barrier to participation, a free-to-play game can provide an accessible first interaction with an operator, while repeated play builds familiarity and creates a reason to return.
