Intralot transitions British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s lottery system to LotosX Omni ecosystem cloud deployment
By Phil - 12 June 2024
Intralot has successfully migrated British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) retail lottery system to its innovative LotosX Omni ecosystem fully deployed on a Cloud technology stack.
This achievement signifies a major milestone for Intralot in North America, while making BCLC one of the first lotteries in the world to adopt a fully cloud-based lottery system. The system is now “live” with Intralot’s next-generation lottery terminals deployed in BCLC’s retail network and hospitality locations across the province of British Columbia.
Working together, BCLC and Intralot executed conversion of the Lottery’s central gaming system. Intralot’s cutting-edge LotosX Omni ecosystem will enhance the Lottery’s ability to provide
innovative experiences that meet the evolving needs of its players, while maintaining the exceptional
quality of its existing games and lottery entertainment services.
Parallel workstreams achieved a smooth roll out of around 8,000 lottery terminals in 3,400 locations, installing Intralot’s flagship PhotonX terminal as well as compact and self-service terminals.
Intralot’s terminals will help transform BCLC’s retail operations with advanced features, enhanced security, improved user interface, and increased frontline productivity. Additionally, the deployed Digital
Signage system will provide BCLC with the ability to dynamically communicate with retail players.
This project represents a landmark moment for Intralot, establishing a benchmark in the North American lottery market with the first end-to-end deployment of LotosX Omni in the region.
Pat Davis, President and CEO of BCLC, said: “BCLC is excited to introduce our new lottery system and terminals to our valued players across the province. This transition to the new Intralot LotosX Omni platform will help sustain and modernize B.C.’s lottery business and support future growth for the benefit of our communities. We look forward to working with Intralot as we continue to evolve our lottery offer. We extend our greatest thanks to all Intralot and BCLC team members for their hard work and commitment to achieve this milestone conversion.”
Nikos Nikolakopoulos, Group CEO of Intralot, said: “We’re honored to be a trusted partner of BCLC, supporting their digital transformation journey and underpinning their efforts for sustainable growth in the dynamic lottery landscape. Intralot’s lottery ecosystem helps BCLC simplify operations, deliver digital lottery experiences, achieve faster time to market, and optimize efficiency. We’d like to express
our gratitude to BCLC for their trust and collaboration which ensured a smooth transition, while we stand firmly to supporting BCLC’s responsible growth of lottery proceeds directed towards health care, education, and community programs all across British Columbia.”
