Self-service lotteries come to Canada

The first player self-service technology for lotteries in Canada is being launched by Scientific Games.

The launch is in conjunction with the Atlantic Lottery and it will offer both lottery draw and instant games, featuring the SG PlayCentral HD kiosks and a terminal software management system.

It is part of Atlantic Lottery’s five-year contract with SG, expanding the lottery’s POS across its retailer network of 3,000 locations in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Atlantic Lottery is jointly owned by the four Atlantic provincial governments with 100 per ccent of profits returned to the provinces to help fund essential services such as health care, education and infrastructure.
