Aristocrat Interactive and Inspired Entertainment have partnered with NeoPollard Interactive to launch its virtual sports iLottery games with the Virginia Lottery.
The draw-based games, otherwise known as ‘Vsports,’ will be exclusive to Virginia Lottery players. The games were developed by Inspired Entertainment, while Aristocrat created a customer integration product through its aggregation system. This will allow Virginia Lottery players to access football, basketball and horseracing Vsports.
Vsports games run on a schedule to allow players to make their bets, with systems including random number generators creating the results. Using a lottery draw game format, these bets can be offered by the Virginia Lottery.
On the partnership, Aristocrat Interactive iLottery Managing Director Chris Shaban said, “Our commitment to providing best-in-class lottery content is strengthened by robust third-party integration capabilities with content providers like Inspired Entertainment.
“The introduction of these first-of-its-kind draw games for the Virginia Lottery exemplifies how customers can benefit from strategic integrations that drive new innovations and improvements in available content for players.”
Good to know: NeoPollard is a joint venture between Pollard Banknote and Aristocrat Interactive
Inspired Entertainment President and CEO Brooks Pierce added, “We are honored to work with Aristocrat Interactive through its contract with NeoPollard Interactive to bring this unprecedented gaming experience to the Virginia Lottery. This collaboration showcases players’ growing appetite for engaging online lottery experiences and will provide additional funds for a good cause.”
The launch follows not long after Aristocrat Interactive announced its six-year iLottery contract with Michigan Lottery, with the supplier set to offer the lottery a range of eInstant and draw-based games via NeoGames Studio.
