LANSING, Mich., March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - NeoPollard
Interactive LLC ("NeoPollard Interactive" or "NPi"), jointly
owned by Pollard Banknote Limited ("Pollard Banknote") (TSX: PBL)
and NeoGames S.A. (Nasdaq: NGMS), congratulates the Virginia
Lottery ("Lottery") on its tremendous iLottery success and the
recent addition of its Daily Draw Games to the platform.
The Lottery's Pick 3 and Pick 4 Daily Draw Games with Fireball Add-On plus Cash 5 with EZ-Match,
are now live on valottery.com. The popular
retail games expand the Virginia
Lottery's robust iLottery offering with
known retail
experiences. The Draw Games leverage
NPi's NeoDraw Central Gaming System ("CGS"),
part of NPi's comprehensive and innovative approach to delivering
turnkey, best-in-class iLottery solutions, powering the most
profitable iLottery programs in North America.
The addition of Pick 3 and Pick 4 Daily
Draw Games builds
on the Lottery's unmatched success
in iLottery. The Virginia Lottery's July 2020 launch of iLottery marked the most
profitable iLottery introduction in North
America. By implementing the iLottery channel, the Lottery
has been able to add a significant revenue stream, building upon
its core offerings. The iLottery channel has added more than
$1.7 billion in top line sales
achieved since its launch, and now represents over 34% of total
lottery sales.
NPi's NeoDraw CGS has proven to deliver greater flexibility and
functionality that is required by the pace of consumer activity in
the eCommerce environment, delivering unparalleled results for
digital lotteries and is the iLottery Central System of choice
across all of NPi's U.S. partners. Over NPi's U.S. network, the
performance of draw-based games that are also sold online achieve
between 20-40% of sales through the online channel using NeoDraw,
which operates independently of existing retail central gaming
systems.
"We are very excited to be the Lottery's partner as it
experiences this success," said Liz
Siver, General Manager of
NeoPollard Interactive. "As we have demonstrated with the Virginia
Lottery, NPi is committed to succeeding across all
iLottery product lines for our partners, as shown by our diverse
game portfolio, which helps lotteries modernize their offerings to
meet player expectations. We are proud of our ongoing partnership
with the Virginia Lottery and honored to be a part of the Lottery's
mission to generate revenue for K-12 education in the
Commonwealth."
"We recognize the importance of a fast pace of innovation
through our digital program at the Virginia Lottery," said
Rob Wesley, Director of Digital of
the Virginia Lottery. "The introduction of daily games provides
convenient access to players, giving them an option for when and
where they choose to play. Expanding our game portfolio is an
essential component of our acquisition and growth strategies. Our
partnership with NPi comes with a rich roadmap of features and
enhancements that keep our iLottery offering competitive as the
gaming landscape and consumer expectations continue to shift."
For over 30 years, the Virginia Lottery has been committed to
growing and giving back. Since 1999, the Virginia Lottery has
contributed more than $11 billion for
K-12 public education in Virginia.
