Published

on

 

Pollard Banknote Limited has congratulated the North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL) on the exceptional success of its The Perfect Gift scratch-off ticket. In 10 weeks of sales, it has become the Lottery’s highest-selling $20 holiday game, surpassing the previous bestseller by 41%.

The Perfect Gift leverages Pollard Banknote’s new proprietary EasyPack print innovation, marking its debut in the lottery industry, and reinforcing the NCEL’s commitment to offering its players the best products available. EasyPack tickets provide maximized gameplay in an oversized format designed to be fully compatible with standard dispensers and Instant Ticket Vending Machines (ITVMs). The 8 x 8-inch ticket, folded like a greeting card and delivered in 4 x 8-inch fan-folded books, is ideal for lotteries seeking to enhance new launches or introduce higher price points without the need for adjustments to accommodate larger tickets. The Perfect Gift opens to offer five exciting games, with a top prize of $250,000 and features an opportunity to play a second chance game through the Lottery’s Lucke-Rewards program powered by Pollard Banknote’s playON player loyalty platform.

The Perfect Gift’s festive design was further enhanced with Pollard Banknote’s eye-catching Scratch FXtra print feature, which combines dazzling Scratch FX patterns with holographic images to create tickets that stand out visually and are impossible to miss at retail.

“We extend our sincere congratulations to the NCEL for the outstanding success of The Perfect Gift. We’re particularly thrilled about the roles EasyPack and Scratch FXtra played in elevating the player experience and adding that extra visual appeal, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the ticket. Our ongoing collaboration signifies our dedication to bringing innovative lottery experiences to the North Carolina market, and we’re excited about what the future holds,” Matthew Isaac, Senior Director of Lottery Marketing at Pollard Banknote, said.

“Our mission is to maximize revenues year-over-year for education programs in North Carolina, and to achieve this, we are committed to offering the most engaging and innovative games. Pollard Banknote has proven to be an excellent partner in this regard, with an expansive portfolio of print innovations that bring added value to our games. We are thrilled to be the first lottery in the world to offer EasyPack and could not be more pleased with the results,” said Randy Spielman, Deputy Executive Director of Product Development and Digital Gaming at North Carolina Education Lottery.

Since its inception in 2006, the North Carolina Education Lottery has raised over $10 billion for education programs across all 100 counties in North Carolina. In the fiscal year 2023, the NCEL achieved a remarkable milestone by generating over $1 billion in funds for public education in the state.

Breaking New Ground in Brazil: Blitzcrown’s Crash Games Now GLI Certified

Blitzcrown, MVG’s pioneering games studio, has secured Brazilian Certification as well as GLI-19 Certification from GLI(Gaming Laboratories International) for its industry-changing three Crash titles. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into Brazil’s thriving online gaming market, positioning Blitzcrown at the forefront of the region’s rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.

The license comes at an important time for Brazil’s gaming sector, following the launch of the new licensing regime that started on January 1, 2025. The regulatory framework, signed into law in December 2023, has transformed the industry’s prospects.

The certification encompasses 3 innovative crash games: Crash, Fast Crash, and Twin Crash. This strategic milestone establishes Blitzcrown as the premier provider of certified Crash games in the Brazilian market, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence and gaming integrity. With the GLI-19 and Brazil certification process successfully concluded in March, Blitzcrown has solidified its position as an industry pioneer in this dynamic and emerging market.

Crash games are a recent addition to the global iGaming market, featuring the dynamic evolution of real-time multipliers and immediate reward structures. Blitzcrown has stood out by establishing groundbreaking game mechanisms that offer different and exciting gameplay experiences. Standard Crash provides players with a standard multiplier-based gaming experience, and Fast Crash is optimized for users seeking quick, intense multiplier experiences. The Twin Crash is an original format allowing players to place simultaneous bets on two separate multipliers.

Building on this momentum, Blitzcrown has announced plans to expand its certified portfolio with two additional versions of its innovative Plinko games, demonstrating the company’s strategic commitment to market expansion. This forward-looking initiative underscores Blitzcrown’s dedication to continuous innovation and sustainable growth in the regulated gaming markets.

Blitzcrown is MVG’s edge-game studio focused on pushing game ideas beyond their norms through innovative and non-traditional gaming experiences. The studio has been particularly recognized for its groundbreaking approaches in various game categories, including its successful Crash and Plinko series.

George Cho from MVG said: “This GLI certification testifies to Blitzcrown’s unwavering commitment to offering top-quality, fair gaming systems. We are well placed to take advantage of Brazil’s exciting new regulatory environment and the vast growth potential of the online gaming industry.”
