The Game LLC, operators of The UAE Lottery, the first and only federally licensed lottery in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region, regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), is proud to announce a multi-year deal with EQL Games. As part of this partnership, EQL Games will provide third-party digital content through its iLottery Marketplace to one of the global lottery industry’s most anticipated iLottery platforms. This collaboration marks the beginning of several new gaming initiatives in the UAE, benefiting from a growing catalog of games provided by the 20+ studios currently under EQL’s management, games developed under the EQL Labs label, and the studios added throughout this contract engagement.

Under this agreement, EQL Games will deliver products from its existing portfolio of games and will also provide any third-party products requested by The Game LLC. This multi-year deal ensures a consistent partnership as the platform grows. In addition to supplying world-class content, EQL Games will work with The Game LLC to identify the best product fit for The UAE Lottery’s growing base of players.

In addition to this exciting partnership, The UAE Lottery also launched two new interactive games, Marble Run and Lucky Lagoon, both developed by Random State, an EQL Games studio partner. These fresh, engaging games are set to bring a new level of excitement to The UAE’s lottery platform, offering players more opportunities to win big.

Marble Run is a fast-paced, interactive game where players select one of five racing balls and choose from six ticket price options: AED 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50. As the marbles race down a dynamic track, they encounter obstacles with multipliers, which can increase or decrease the final prize. Players win by finishing in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, with rewards up to AED 1,000,000, depending on their final position and multiplier effects.

Lucky Lagoon offers an immersive and rewarding underwater adventure. Players select from six ticket prices (AED 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50) and search for pairs of fish hidden in fish eggs. Players win by uncovering prizes in chests, and the ultimate prize is unlocked by matching all pairs of fish across three areas to reach the sunken pirate ship. With 23 prize tiers, Lucky Lagoon offers prizes up to AED 1,250,000.

Both games introduce engaging experiences with exciting prize opportunities and unique gameplay mechanics. These new additions enhance the overall player experience on The UAE Lottery platform, now available at www.theuaelottery.ae.

“When looking for a provider that could deliver the diversity of lottery content that we were looking for and the ability to deliver on a short timeline, EQL Games was an easy choice,” said Bishop Woosley, Director of Lottery Operations at The Game LLC. “We’re excited to introduce Marble Run and Lucky Lagoon to The UAE Lottery platform. These innovative games bring fresh experiences with dynamic gameplay and great prize opportunities, and we’re confident they’ll resonate with our growing player base. We look forward to a great partnership with EQL Games.”
