Scientific Games Corporation announced it has signed an amendment to its contract with Loteria Nacional de Beneficencia of Panama to provide the country’s first online lottery game, Pega 3, under the company’s existing agreement with the lottery. It is scheduled to launch in June 2014 as a standard Pick 3 game.
“Pega 3 is our very first online lottery draw game, and a brand new product for Panama as we continue to work in new ways to respond to our players and deliver the excitement of lottery with a high level of trust and integrity,” said Ricardo Brooks, director of Loteria Nacional de Beneficencia. “The new game will complement our existing portfolio of products, particularly the new instant games that launched last fall.”
The lottery began offering instant games to players for the first time in October 2013 under a 10-year contract with Scientific Games, which was awarded through a competitive procurement process the same year. Currently, the National Lottery of Panama operates traditional draw-based lottery games through a network of 13,500 lottery vendors.
