The deal will see instant games, lottery systems, retail technology and a draw-based lottery game system go live in Ecuador, with business intelligence software and a performance-driving instant game management system also included.

Scientific Games President of Americas and Global Instant Products John Schulz said: "We are honoured to expand our 20-year relationship with the Ecuador National Lottery, with our instant game services and by launching electronic draw games for the very first time in Ecuador.

“Drawing upon our global experience with national lotteries, our goal is to support the Lottery's retailer network expansion with our patented technologies to drive more profits for Junta de Beneficencia de Guayaquil's social work."

Junta de Beneficencia de Guayaquil is a non-profit organistation that works to promote health, education and social protection rights. Revenue generated from these new instant and draw games will be used to support this organisation, as it looks to increase the scope and impact of its work.

Ecuador National Lottery GM Jorge Medina said: "We are very pleased to extend our excellent relationship with Scientific Games through an instant game contract that includes new technology; and enables us to launch a new mode of instant and draw-based lottery games for the enjoyment of our players, and ultimately generate more funds to support our causes in Ecuador."

In June 2022, Steve Beason was named Scientific Games’ new President of Digital and Sports Betting.
