A gaming supplier is battling the Lower Sioux Indian Community of Minnesota over the use of the terms "JackpotJunction" and "Jackpot Junction."
The tribe opened the Jackpot Junction Casino Hotel in 1984 and registered its trademark in 2001.
A company called Gaming Support USA uses the "JackpotJunction" name on its casino sign products.
The company says it should be allowed to use the name because it's different from the tribe's use. “Consumers are not likely to be confused between the (Indian) community’s mark for a hotel and casino and Gaming Support’s mark for multimedia gaming systems,” the lawsuit states, Vegas Inc reported.
Vegas Inc previously covered a trademark dispute that the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community won against a Nevada casino.
