Pollard Banknote Highlights Lottery Innovation At NASPL ’24

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, September 4, 2024 /CNW/ – Pollard Banknote Limited (“Pollard Banknote”; TSX: PBL) is excited to participate in the 2024 North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (“NASPL”) annual conference being held in Kansas City, Missouri, from September 9-12, 2024. A Level 1 sponsor of NASPL, Pollard Banknote will participate on the CEO Speaker Panel and present on lottery innovation during the main stage sessions. This year, there is no industry tradeshow component to the conference; instead, we will be hosting a presentation room for multiple small group sessions with lottery CEOs, Directors, and their staff over the four days. In our presentation room, we will spotlight some of the most innovative offerings in the industry that are designed to drive lottery growth and generate proceeds to the good causes they support.

We invite lottery leaders and staff to join us to learn first-hand about our strategy of delivering retail excellence, outstanding games, and digital innovation to our clients. After a brief interactive presentation, guests will have the opportunity to check out our display stations for more information on how we can support our clients’ strategies.

Most exciting of all, we will share the latest on our own full-scale omnichannel iLottery solution and its core technology, the Pollard Catalyst^™ Gaming Platform. Catalyst is a fully cloud-native, modular, and API-first solution that is uniquely positioned to revolutionize the lottery gaming systems space by leapfrogging legacy alternatives. The platform’s modern design easily integrates with other solutions, accelerates roadmap development, and enables cutting-edge features such as fully automatic scalability, even during high-demand jackpot runs. Catalyst delivers world-class user experiences for players and a 360-degree view of player data that can be used responsibly to generate and personalize engagement.

“We are excited to participate at NASPL’s annual conference again this year. We particularly look forward to hearing directly from lotteries about their objectives and the challenges they face,” said Doug Pollard, Co-CEO, Pollard Banknote. “We are constantly innovating to help our lottery partners drive toward success in the retail and digital lottery spaces.”
