Serving traditional lotteries, igaming, and casinos as well as organizations running lottery-style promotions and fundraising events, Smartplay designs and manufactures the most advanced traditional and digital lottery drawing systems available, with more than 3,000 lottery systems deployed worldwide since 1993. With so many gaming options today, lotteries continue to evolve every aspect of business to increase revenue and lower costs. Smartplay is active on this front by providing new solutions that create efficiencies while increasing the visual appeal of the draw event. Smartplay’s digital draw system - the Origin - remains the most used draw system in the USA. While traditional machines and manually triggered digital draws remain popular, many lotteries look to add new games without adding time and resources internally. The latest Origin products -- introduced in early 2020 -- offer draw results triggered externally by POS or other sources, creating an entirely automated draw process. Additionally, Origin can generate and distribute high-quality, 3D animations which boost the entertainment quality while lowering resource requirements. And beyond the traditional lottery draw matrix, Smartplay can provide game concepts and designs to deliver more player engagement and generate more revenue.
