41 PUBLIC GAMING INTERNATIONAL • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 Infinity Instants™ games are produced on a physical press, but the preparation process is all digital. In place of a station with a plate and a cylinder producing an identical product millions of times over, the technology allows for a full level of customization – every ticket can be different, side by side, with unique scenes or artwork. Lotteries can even extend design and color underneath the play area, which has always been “the land of gray.” As shown in the examples here, the possibilities open up whole new avenues of use by lotteries and are completely compatible with all industry standard quality and security requirements. DISPLAY GRAPHICS Display graphics can extend beneath the scratch-off coating, creating a “wallpaper” effect where the image becomes visible once the game is scratched. INSTRUCTION SYMBOLS Symbols in the play instructions can now be imaged in full color and can be varied, so that each scene in a multi-scene game can have a specific symbol that matches the scene. CUSTOMIZATION Opportunity for customization within a print for retailer exclusives and other promotions. SCENES The number of scenes in a pack can extend well beyond what can be achieved with traditional printing technologies. The Covered Artwork FONTS A variety of fonts that match the look and feel of the overall game. GAME & PRIZE SYMBOLS High-resolution digital imaging provides symbols with distinct characteristics and colors. CAPTIONS Easily identifiable, high-resolution, full-color symbols make the use of captions optional and enables the use of smaller “micro captions.” PLAY AREA BACKGROUND The game design can be extended beneath the scratch-off coating. A solid color can also be used to provide striking contrast between the play symbols and the background graphics. FLOAT Fully compliant with industry standard float requirements. The Uncovered Artwork GRAPHICS Back graphics can be imaged to complement the overall look of the game and can also support customized imaging and barcodes, such as retailer coupons and other promotions. SYNCHRONIZATION Back images can be synchronized to the front image. ADDITIONAL PLAY AREAS Will support additional play areas on the back of a ticket in conjunction with IGT’s Playback™ technology. UNIQUE CUSTOMIZATIONS With high-resolution imaging on the ticket back, lotteries can include eye-catching messaging for either the cross-promotion of additional lottery games or for third-party coupons.
