Abacus Solutions International Group has announced a new partnership with Playport Gaming Systems which is designed to supply lotteries and lottery retailers with a digital game purchase-and-win redemption solution that integrates with their existing point-of-sale systems.
Marina Bogard, CEO of Playport, said: “We are excited to expand our relationship with Abacus and provide another solution to their Lottery Everywhere Abacus Digital portfolio. The Abacus solution will allow for consumers to utilise their smartphone to purchase Powerball, Mega Millions and Instant Win games through the lottery retailers enabled registers.
“This past year due to COVID, there has been increased consumer demand for digital solutions. Through our partnership, Abacus will deliver a digital benefit to lotteries, retailers and consumers.”
Abacus, a global technology provider connecting lottery systems with both existing and new lottery retailers, will act as an authorised distributor and reseller of Playport’s mobile digital instant win software platform.
Simon Butler, CEO of Abacus, added: “This partnership with Playport is in line with Abacus’ vision of innovating and delivering solutions to lotteries and lottery retailers worldwide that not only improve sales and profit but also provide players with new ways to purchase and play their favourite lottery games.
“We believe the future of lottery lies in the integration of both the lottery and retailer systems to enable frictionless purchase and gameplay everywhere lottery is sold and we have the full breadth of products to deliver the future today.”
