Making Sense of the RNG
Lotteries face challenges communicating how draws are conducted with an RNG. Our approach has always been that the digital draw needs to duplicate the process and formality of a mechanical draw — creating a physical process that you can explain to the consumer. Here’s two videos produced by the Colorado and Illinois Lotteries that do a good job in explaining the overall process to help consumers understand how the numbers are drawn.

Custom Jupiters make their way to Moscow
Stoloto’s beautiful new lottery center opened in Moscow featuring Smartplay’s Jupiter draw machines. These unique models are auto-reloading and run on a schedule completely hands-free. We enjoyed collaborating with Stoloto’s team in designing the new equipment during their several visits to our facility. Smartplay’s technician, John Wheat, was also delighted to visit Russia and help Irina Palivoda and the rest of the Stoloto team launch the new games!

High Frequency Draw Support Packages
