Scientific Games Corporation announces a new two-year contract to provide instant scratch games to Hrvatska Lutrija, the National Lottery of Croatia, continuing a successful two-year collaboration.
Scientific Games provides Hrvatska Lutrija with instant game portfolio management and has developed a variety of products to entertain Croatian players and drive proceeds to support projects that contribute to the development of society in Croatia, including humanitarian causes, science, education, culture, environmental and health protection.
With a 47-year tradition of organizing games of chance in Croatia, Hrvatska Lutrija is the state-licensed lottery offering a full variety of gaming products, including lotteries, instant lotteries, multi-jurisdictional lottery games, EuroJackpot, sports betting, casinos and slot clubs.
In 2019, instant game annual sales in the Central European country with a population of four million reached nearly €14.2 million across the Lottery’s network of 2,842 retailers (La Fleur’s Almanac).
“The incredible growth of the instant games product in this short time can be credited to Scientific Games’ global expertise fully developing instant game portfolios with both entertainment value and the Lottery’s beneficiaries in mind,” said Mario Musa, President of the Board of Hrvatska Lutrija.
A new game created by Scientific Games for the National Lottery of Croatia, Maxi Crni Biseri, features a simple play style that has made it a favorite among players. Odmor Iz Snova offers a new play experience with the chance to win 15.000kn per month for 12 months. New designs were created for Zlatna Staza, a popular base game.
“There is great potential to responsibly grow the instant product category further in Croatia,” said John Schulz, SVP Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “Instant games as an entertainment category is not fully realized in many European markets and the National Lottery of Croatia’s recent success is a tremendous example of the product’s potential.”
Scientific Games products represent 74% of lottery instant game retail sales worldwide.
