Allwyn North America announced the launch of its portfolio of top-performing games in partnership with the Michigan Lottery.

With a library of over 300 unique games, Allwyn e-Instants have proven popular in Europe, including the first game available for Michigan players – Super Cash Bolt. The successful Cash Bolt series has consistently been a top performing game for the UK National Lottery, the Irish National Lottery, and Loterie Romande in Switzerland.

“We are excited to partner with Allwyn to introduce Super Cash Bolt to Michigan lottery players. This innovative e-Instant game ushers in a new era of digital gaming with its dynamic features and immersive gameplay. We’re always looking for ways to enhance player engagement, provide convenience, and deliver exceptional entertainment, and this game reflects our commitment to offering experiences that resonate with our players,” said Suzanna Shkreli, MSL Commissioner.

The game Super Cash Bolt has been customized for the Michigan State Lottery as part of Allwyn’s content strategy, which is rooted in understanding the local market and players, and providing a diverse array of games that meet different player needs.

“We deliver tailored, immersive gaming experiences for players. We help lotteries build engagement in a digital world, by offering players what they want – an engaging experience, immersive animations, and options for short or long-form gameplay. We can’t wait to unleash the full capability of the Allwyn catalog in the US,” said Wayne Pickup, CEO of Allwyn North America.

Allwyn North America has been working in partnership with IWG to deliver its games via IWG’s InstantRGS, creating a simple and fast solution to bring games into market, and eliminating the need for additional technical development by the iLottery platform.

Scientific Games continues to light up the company’s licensed properties portfolio with another big win. National Basketball Association (NBA)-licensed instant scratch games are now available to U.S. lotteries through Scientific Games, bringing the fan-passionate brand of professional basketball to their players.

As part of the new, multi-year agreement, Scientific Games will work with U.S. lotteries to help create custom second-chance promotions and experiential prizes to amplify their NBA-themed scratch games. Lotteries can also work with local NBA teams in their states to create team-specific games through sponsorships.

The Massachusetts Lottery, perennially ranked No. 1 worldwide for instant scratch game sales, is the first to feature an NBA-branded scratcher under the Scientific Games agreement. The Lottery launched an NBA Champion Boston Celtics-themed game on November 19 with the 2024-25 NBA season in full swing. With total sales of $1.6 billion since the introduction of its first sports-themed ticket in 2006, the Mass Lottery is also ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for retail sales in this category.

“The Celtics are one of the most iconic franchises in all of sports and we are thrilled to commemorate their most recent championship with a ticket that offers their passionate fanbase the opportunity to win up to one million dollars and a variety of experiential and merchandise prizes,” said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Massachusetts State Lottery.

The NBA has a rich tradition of game-changing plays, storied rivalries and team dynasties. It is the most innovative league in sports, helping drive the growth of the sport around the globe. The NBA comprises 30 teams in North America, 29 based in major U.S. cities and one in Canada.

Tina Hoover, VP Licensing for Scientific Games, said: “We are excited to welcome the NBA back into the lottery category. The NBA has a loyal and passionate fanbase, which makes the brand perfect for lottery games that appeal to players in communities across a state. Each game can be customized to a lottery’s home market. Best of all, sales from the games will benefit the lottery’s good cause programs in those same communities.”

In fiscal year 2024, licensed branded games created by Scientific Games for North American lotteries represented USD $2.6 billion in retail sales.
