iGaming Business – Gaming solutions provider Scientific Games has signed an amendment to its deal with the Loteria Nacional de Beneficencia (National Lottery of Panama) in order to provide the country with its first online lottery game. ‘Pega 3’, a standard pick three game, is scheduled to launch in the country in June of this year.
The new game will fall under an existing 10-year deal that was agreed in October 2013, under which Scientific Games agreed to support the National Lottery of Panama with the rollout of instant games.
“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,” the National Lottery of Panama’s director, Ricardo Brooks, said.
“The new game will complement our existing portfolio of products, particularly the new instant games that launched last fall.”
Patrick McHugh, president of North American lottery systems for Scientific Games, added: “Consumers in Panama have embraced the instant games that recently launched and the Lottery’s hard work has resulted in gaining the player’s interest and trust.
“We see the Pega 3 online game as a new choice for players; it is the next step for the Lottery’s expanding product portfolio and we anticipate that it will be well-received by players.”
