EGT Digital to Reveal its Fascinating iGaming World at G2E Las Vegas 2023
EGT Digital is ready to make a long-lasting impression on the visitors of G2E Las Vegas 2023. Together with Euro Games Technology, the iGaming provider will show its novelties and well-known products on booths 2452 and 3352.
EGT Digital’s selection for the expo will include its popular instant games, the multiplayer xRide, as well as the bestselling jackpots Bell Link, Clover Chance, High Cash, and Single Progressive Jackpot, currently featuring more than 80 in-house developed slot titles.
The latest addition to High Cash Mummy Secret, which recently made its successful debut, will be among the highlights at the booth. It will present to the players the mysteries and riches of Ancient Egypt, where the high chances of winning in combination with the beautifully themed symbols and lavish look will be waiting for them to provide an unforgettable gaming experience.
EGT Digital will also showcase its in-house developed all-in-one betting platform X-Nave, consisting of 4 main modules: Sportsbook product, Casino aggregator, CRM Engine, and the latest Payment Gateway. They could be both part of the complete solution or operate separately as they allow integration with solutions of third-party providers.
The Sportsbook product will demonstrate its latest upgrades: the newly added promotion mechanisms and bonus types, including new bonus mechanics, odds boosters, new early payout types, as well as jackpots.
Visitors will have the chance to become familiar also with CRM Engine’s Player Engagement Suite. Its three modules: campaign manager, gamification and loyalty and player journey, enable operators to offer bonuses and promotions tailored according to their clients’ individual preferences and needs.
X-Nave’s Casino aggregator, currently including more than 90 different integrations with popular third-party gaming providers, will show its latest modules for tombola, operator-controlled prize drops and jackpots.
Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, said: “We are very glad to participate in G2E Las Vegas once again as it gives us the opportunity to meet with so many operators, players and industry experts both from the region and the whole world. I am confident that our innovative developments will be able to satisfy even the most demanding customers and at the end of the event we will have many new partners and friends.”

Cliff Ehrlich Joins Rush Street Gaming as COO
Rush Street Gaming announced that casino and hospitality veteran Cliff Ehrlich has joined the company as chief operating officer.
Ehrlich assumes the role of Rush Street COO from Bill Keena, a longtime company and industry leader, who plans to retire later this year.
“I’ve admired Rush Street’s strong leadership and steady expansion over the past two decades. I’m thrilled to join this dynamic organization and look forward to contributing to the company’s ongoing success,” said Ehrlich.
Ehrlich’s career began in marketing at the Catskills’ Pines Resort Hotel in the 80s and transitioned in the 90s to casino development and operations. In 1996, he became co-owner of the Monticello Raceway and helped recruit the Oneida Indian Nation to build a casino on the property. Following an initial public offering, Ehrlich led Monticello Casino & Raceway as president, chief operating officer and general manager until 2013.
After consulting with Mohegan Sun regarding Upstate New York development opportunities, in 2015, Ehrlich joined The Downs Racetrack & Casino in Albuquerque, serving as general manager and chief operating officer. He later ran two casinos for The Navajo Nation — Northern Edge and Flowing Water. Since 2022, Ehrlich has been Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise’s chief operating officer, with oversight of four casinos, a resort destination hotel, travel plaza and food & beverage manufacturing.
“Cliff’s ground-up casino development experience, deep operations background and team leadership ensure that all five Rivers Casino properties remain in great hands. He will continue the strong forward momentum established by Bill Keena, for whom we wish the very best in retirement,” said Tim Drehkoff, CEO of Rush Street Gaming.

Lotto.com Debuts New Digital Scratch Ticket Campaign Led by Havas New York
Online lottery platform Lotto.com has launched a new Digital Scratch ticket campaign with surprising creative developed by Havas New York as the brand’s agency of record.
Lotto.com launched their first-to-market Digital Scratch tickets offering in December 2022, which transformed how traditional paper scratch tickets are played. As Digital Scratch tickets offer customers the opportunity to experience the thrill of playing a physical scratch ticket in a digital, secure setting, the campaign taps the thrill of winning anytime.
As a build to the brand’s first campaign, “Welcome to Winever,” the new Digital Scratch campaign avoids category cliches like CGI fantasy worlds and big spenders, instead capturing traditionally “unlucky” moments, and turning them into winning ones. With this theme at the core of the creative, the campaign highlights unlucky practicalities of life, such as getting your car towed or unexpectedly getting splashed by a taxi driving through a puddle. In each scene, the unlucky scenario is transformed into a lucky one with the ease of a Digital Scratch win on Lotto.com.
“In an often unlucky world, Lotto.com’s Digital Scratch tickets are a reminder that a win could be just a scratch away. Scratch tickets currently make up two-thirds of the $100+ Billion U.S. lottery market and our pioneering Digital Scratch innovation marks a significant milestone for the industry and solidifies our position as a pioneer in the digital lottery space,” Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com, said.
The fully integrated campaign was led by Havas New York, with paid and earned media support from Havas Village agencies including Republica Havas, Havas Formula, and Havas CX. The creative will roll out across radio, TV, and streaming throughout the month of August, with social media, digital, and out-of-home to follow.
“Lotto.com is spearheading an industry transformation with the introduction of Digital Scratch tickets and we are excited to be a part of it. Unlucky moments are something that all of us can relate to, no matter how big or small. We strive to set our brands apart from competitors by authentically connecting with consumers, and this new creative demonstrates how easy it is to turn even the unluckiest moment into the luckiest one,” Dan Lucey, Chief Creative Officer & Co-CEO of Havas New York, said.
