Platinum Foil Instant games shine bright like never before with Platinum Foil’s limitless combinations of color and high-impact graphics on a mirror-like surface. Spanning categories and themes including licensed properties, multipliers, extended play and blowout games, Platinum Foil is proven to be one of the easiest and most versatile ways to upgrade a game and potentially reach more players. In a recent Scientific Games ONEVoice panel of over 1,000 players, 76% had strong purchase intent for Platinum Foil games. Platinum Foil offers all the benefits of foil but elevates a product further. It’s perfect for designs that maximize the display area, similar to Scientific Games’ Integrated Holographic enhancement. Platinum Foil’s versatility allows for any number of specialty inks or coatings to be used, and it’s a great way to target variable imaging, because of its brilliant white play area for maximum contrast on HD Games, the company’s digitally printed 3D play symbols. The North Carolina Education Lottery was the first to use Platinum Foil on their family of Carolina Jackpot games with a second-chance promotion. Together the games performed above average across their price point categories. 4. LuxShimmer Elevate games and the lottery’s brand with the luxury, shimmering semi-transparent coating of LuxShimmer, which shifts and changes the intensity of the graphics and colors beneath. Darker under colors create a more vibrant shimmer, while lighter backgrounds create a subtle water mark effect revealed when the game reflects light. LuxShimmer blends seamlessly over the display and overprint areas without any need for separation, creating a unique game design perfect for scene, pulse and families of games. The Colorado Lottery and Pennsylvania Lottery utilized LuxShimmer on their Founding Fathers and Presidents and Money Family of games, respectively. After 16 weeks, the Colorado Lottery’s family of games collectively indexed at 114 and the Pennsylvania Lottery’s at 116. 5. MicroMotion As the exclusive, worldwide provider of MicroMotion, Scientific Games uses a patented process with a series of special coatings on a highly reflective foil to create the illusion of motion on games. The finished products reflect light at varying angles to create a dazzling effect. The company’s innovators re-engineered MicroMotion with formulated inks and a specialty holographic foil hybrid combined with visual graphic enhancements and new patterns that demand players’ attention. Based on the stellar success of its $10 Snow Much Fun game in 2021 featuring MicroMotion snowflakes, the Pennsylvania Lottery brightened its $10 Ho Ho Holly $50 or $100 holiday game in 2022 with MicroMotion holly leaves. Loaded with prizes and bonus play the game dazzled at retail, winning players over with a performance index of 130. In fiscal year 2022, MicroMotion products performed nearly 15% better than other games in the U.S. at their price point categories. 6.
