| “Over the last decade, we have built a true partnership with Pollard Banknote based on collaboration and trust,” commented Avi Levy, Mifal Hapayis’ Instant Tickets Marketing Director. “Pollard Banknote’s unfailing attention to customer service is complemented with quality products and a high level of commitment to integrity and security. They have brought innovative products to the Israeli marketplace, such as their eye-catching Scratch FX®, which has proven perfect for our higher-priced tickets. We look forward to working with the Pollard Banknote team to continue our trend of annual sales growth.” |
| “We’re the guinea pigs for the (Minnesota State) Lottery,” said Jeffrey Vollman, owner of Tunetown Alternative Vending of Duluth, the authorized provider of the new technology in the Duluth area. The new lottery ATMs have another advantage over the old cash-over-the-counter approach, Vollman said: The purchaser can be contacted of any winnings by setting up a text number. “You don’t even have to watch it on TV,” Vollman said. “They’ll text and tell you that you won.” |
| “GTECH and Scientific Games have outstanding records of success in helping public lotteries grow their revenues and improve their operations. Their business plan for the lottery is solid, well-researched and builds upon our existing strengths,” Carole Hedinger, executive director of the lottery, said in a statement. |

“We are confident that our new role will help the New Jersey Lottery realize its full potential," said Northstar NJ Chairman and GTECH President & CEO Jaymin B. Patel. With our combined 30 years of experience working with the New Jersey Lottery on previous contracts, Northstar NJ will help the Lottery grow revenue responsibly while strengthening the revenue stream for future contributions to good causes through innovation, technological advances, and community responsibility." |
| “SPIELO G2 is pleased to provide a solution that will support and enhance OLG’s modernization plan to become a more innovative and sustainable organization, while continuing to be a North American leader in Responsible Gambling,” said SPIELO International President and CEO Walter Bugno. “We will ensure that their entry into the online gaming space meets those goals by providing products and services that will delight players, while adhering to the highest standards of responsible gambling and player protection." |
| “We’re responding to player demand by bringing back D.C. Black. People love this ticket—the potential wins, the look, and feel of it. The game resonates with players,” states Buddy Roogow, executive director of the D.C. Lottery. |
| “It’s safe to say that ‘The Walking Dead’ is far more than a cult hit at this point,” commented Steve Saferin, President, Properties Group and Chief Creative Officer for Scientific Games. “When a show continues to grow season after season and continues to break records among the 18- to 49-year-old demo, it’s definitely noteworthy. The size and passion of the fan base in this coveted adult demographic, along with the constant positive press about the show, leads us to believe that ‘The Walking Dead’ will make a great licensed game for lotteries.” |

Thank you to all
of you who presented, served on a
panel discussion, and participated
at Smart-Tech. This was PGRI’s
fourth annual event in NYC and has
become a great venue for lotteries
to delve into the most relevant
issues of the hour, and we so
appreciate the privilege of hosting
it and visiting with you. The next
issue of PGRI Magazine will include
an in-depth analysis of the issues
we explored. Too, the conference
was video-recorded and will be made
freely available to everyone on
www.PGRItalks.com. We’ve
received much positive feedback and
hope that everyone accomplished
their objectives. Our next event
will be held at the Trump Miami
Beach Hotel on November 4, 5, 6, and
7th. Lottery Expo Miami
is especially exciting for the
participation from our colleagues in
Latin America. The North America
track is on Tuesday, the LatAm track
on Thursday, and we all come
together on Wednesday. Thanks to the
support of our commercial partners
and sponsors, the hosted receptions
held every night of the conference
have become a wonderful venue to
talk with industry leaders from all
around the world. Please check in at
www.PublicGaming.org for PGRI
