Helio Gaming boosts bet on lotteries offering with Mega Sena draw
Famous lottery now comes with Dynamic Jackpot
Innovative supplier Helio Gaming has boosted its betting on lotteries proposition by adding the famous Mega Sena draw to its portfolio.
The latest offering has two weekly draws held on Wednesdays and Saturdays in Brasillia at 20.00 BRT and will appeal to players across Latin America and beyond.
Customers can buy tickets for as little as âŹ1.30 and then select six numbers between 1-60 for the chance to win life-changing prizes.
Richard Mifsud, CEO of Helio Gaming, said he was delighted with the new addition, which joins betting on the likes of the Euro Millions, Power Ball, and Mega Millions, along with the incorporation of some exciting features.
âMega Sena is a fantastic addition to Helioâs ever-growing suite of innovative lottery games and will help to further internationalise our offering.
âThe game will have the same feel and look of our other betting on lottery products with the inclusion of our Dynamic Jackpot feature.â
Helioâs Dynamic Jackpot features four tiers giving players the option to reduce the jackpot amount leading to a lower ticket price.
Mifsud added: âThis feature is especially attractive in emerging markets for those players who still want to be in with a chance of winning big prizes with a smaller stake. We believe both it and Mega Sena will prove to be a very exciting addition to our partnerâs platforms.â
Mega Sena is latest announcement in a busy period for Helio, which recently added Live Lottery to its portfolio and announced a commercial deal with BetConstructâs B2C online sportsbook and gaming brand Vbet.
