Trixie's family

Jack Pot, or Jackpot;  ' Spectacle ' , or  ' Showcase ' ; and an unnamed unicorn mare are unicorn ponies who appear as Trixie's family members in the season eight episode Grannies Gone Wild and the IDW comics.

Development and designs
Jack Pot shares his color scheme with Trixie.

When about asked Trixie's mother's name on Twitter in March 2016, writer Ted Anderson replied, "Maybe something with 'Spectacle' or 'Showcase.' Connects to the 'tricks' idea of her daughter's name."

In response to questions regarding Jack Pot's relation to Trixie on Twitter, director Jim Miller and story editor Nicole Dubuc mainly replied with "😉". Miller also posited, "The question is, does HE know he’s Trixie’s dad?"

Depiction in the series
In the season eight episode Grannies Gone Wild, Trixie's father Jack Pot appears as a stage magician at Flim and Flam's Las Pegasus resort hotel alongside fellow magician Big Bucks. They first appear in DJ Pon-3's dance club checking out Granny Smith, Auntie Applesauce, Apple Rose, and Goldie Delicious on the dance floor. After a bit of flirting, they invite the "Gold Horseshoe Gals" to their magic show at the Ponet Fantastique theater later that evening, promising to save them a spot on stage.

Later, during Jack Pot and Big Bucks' magic show, they invite the grannies onto the stage to serve as assistants in their signature magic trick, the Splashtastic Escape. However, Rainbow Dash interrupts the trick and knocks the magicians' water tank over. In an effort to save face, Jack Pot and Big Bucks convince the audience that it was all part of the show, and they run away using one of Jack Pot's smoke bombs.
