The gaming authority of the Argentine province of Santa Cruz, Lotería de Santa Cruz, is ready to launch its own lottery draw. According to the regulations of the Latin American country, each province manages its own gaming and betting rules, so there’s not a national entity that regulates the sector.
Some provinces have already developed their own gambling markets and some have their own lotteries. Now, Santa Cruz will have its own, called Quiniela santacruceña, while ‘all proceeds will go to Health and Social Action projects,’ as revealed by Roberto López, president of the Lottery.
In addition, he commented that the staff is already going through a training process to start elaborating the product. The first draw is expected to be ready to launch next month.
López added: “Santa Cruz must be one of the few provinces that did not have its own drawing room. The operation is fully automatic. Only the operators that give the orders to systems to start the draws and guarantee maximum transparency interfere. There is security in all processes in order to obtain all the numbers.”
The regulatory body began with the homologation of the systems with ISO and IRAM standards to comply with rules and with ALEA, the entity that groups all the lotteries in Argentina.
“We’re scheduled to start in the first days of July, so we’re already in the training process. The draw can be seen, people can witness it, they can see it, they can get close to it, see how the system and the processes work,” said Cristina León, commercial Manager of Loterías para Obras de Acción Social, to FM Laser 92.9.
Lotteries in the Buenos Aires province, one of the largest territories in the country, restarted their businesses in the first week of June, following the publishing of Administrative Decision 919/2020, which establishes that lottery vendors are exempt from the quarantine.
