Public Gaming Magazine Sept/Oct 2021

72 PUBLIC GAMING INTERNATIONAL • SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2021 ABACUS Solutions International Group Solutions for Innovators www.lotteryeverywhere.com Abacus alchemy is the future. Lottery operations can be omni- channel so that customers can do business with your lottery in the way they choose to. Our new Digital Instants will be at the forefront of a new way of playing the lottery on mobile phones, in social environments, on-line, or even at gatherings in their very homes. Players’ devices will be interactive with television and computer screens. The traditional way of playing the lottery will also exist but the delivery of new products will look nothing like it does today. We are at the very beginning of the transition from a world of atoms and physical delivery into the world of electrons and a digital delivery. This process will go on for many years, but the first step is the integration of your Central Gaming System (CGS) directly into the retailers’ ePOS. Not only will this improve the operational efficiency of the retailer by reducing labor and shrink, but it will allow for a seamless delivery to the player in the channel they choose. Let Abacus show you how we can transform your lottery products into a Golden Category for Retailers at all levels of engagement. Our fully managed service offering includes: · Lottery In-Lane, Self-Checkout, and Self-Serve · Instant ticket sales and validation through our gateway · Ticket by ticket delivery of instants where supported by your CGS · Sports Betting where supported by your CGS · Online delivery through e-commerce and mobile (where allowed by State law) · Abacus games portfolio, including Bill Paid™ · Retailer loyalty solutions, follow-on promotions & second chance draws · Dedicated management portal: control and monitoring of all services and reporting Contact: Terry Presta, Head of Business - North America Email: terry.presta@abacuslottery.com | Telephone 913 908 0635 Contact: Simon Butler, CEO Email: simon.butler@abacuslottery.com | Telephone +44 7768 282638 Instant Win Gaming (IWG) www.instantwingaming.com IWG is the world leader in supplying digital e-Instant and instant win games to WLA and NASPL-member lotteries.
