ntific Games have sealed a one-year contract with Belgian national lottery operator, Loterie Nationale, for the design and manufacture of instant lottery games.

Following this agreement, Scientific Games now supplies 23 of the world’s 25 leading lotteries, ranked by instant game per capita sales.

“We believe Scientific Games’ consumer insights, marketing strategies and the innovation they are bringing to instant games will be a means to entertain our players and grow revenues for Loterie Nationale.”

John Schulz, Senior Vice-President, Global Instant Products for Scientific Games, added: “Instant products, often supported by interactive second-chance drawings on mobile and web, continue to be the largest year-on-year revenue growth for lotteries in many jurisdictions around the world.

“Our expertise with instant games is unrivalled, and we believe we can empower Loterie Nationale with the analytics, strategy and creativity to entertain Belgian players and grow sales.”
