Combining the SG Content Hub and Partner Program is ground-breaking for the lottery industry. There’s nothing like it available in the market today.”
Scientific Games designed the SG Content Hub to remove the challenges that lotteries often experience when expanding game content in their iLottery programs. The platform provides a diverse and exciting selection of games from a variety of game studios to keep iLottery portfolios relevant and entertaining for players.
Steve Hickson, VP of Digital Games for Scientific Games, said, “The SG Content Hub gives lotteries access to iLottery games from our game studios as well as curated, best-in-class games from boutique studios they may not have access to. The number of studios in our Partner Program will continue to grow for the ultimate benefit of lotteries and their players’ entertainment experience.”
The SG Content Hub also offers access to highly popular branded iLottery games such as THE PRICE IS RIGHT, MONOPOLY and THE GAME OF LIFE from the company’s portfolio of 100+ licensed brands. This simplifies planning for omni-channel licensed game launches across retail and digital, including instant scratch games, Fast Play terminal-generated games, and eInstant games.
“Scientific Games has long been known for setting the global standard for the highest quality lottery games and content delivery that meets and often exceeds responsible gaming standards. We’re bringing five decades of lottery portfolio management experience and player insights to hand-select iLottery games to maximize portfolio performance,” said Hickson.
The company will unveil the SG Content Hub at the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries 2023 Conference in late October with demonstrations of how the platform can operate independently or fully integrate with the company’s next generation iLottery systems platform.

BGaming
Hook Huge Rewards in Fishing Club 2
Fast-growing content producer announces its involvement in a long-awaited sequel.
Renowned iGaming content developer BGaming aims to capture significant victories once more in Fishing Club 2, the follow-up to one of the firm’s most profitable #Casual games.
Participants settle in around a picturesque lake before dropping their lines into the water to discover what prizes they might reel in. The game offers a first-person perspective, engaging players directly in the action while conveying the soothing ambiance of an actual fishing experience.
BGaming has considered players’ opinions on the original game and provided them with greater freedom in their gameplay of Fishing Club 2. Players can fish at three spots located at dawn, dusk, and twilight. This provides each session with a unique twist and enables players to discover the atmosphere that suits their preferences.
The new Fishing Club game offers two bonus features. The Fishing Net bonus, capable of being activated for ×60 the player’s wager, spreads widely, while the TNT Bonus, valued at ×100 the wager, creates a massive blast in the water. You can acquire both of these by using the Buy Bonus button, ensuring a victory.
A skilled angler retains trophies, and the game enables players to track theirs with the well-known features Best Win and Best Catch. These show the greatest single-spin win amount and the largest multipliers achieved.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The original Fishing Club title is one of players’ most-loved #Casual games by BGaming. Having listened to their feedback, we are taking them back to the open waters in Fishing Club 2 with a few pivotal updates.
We love to give our players more control over how they play, and that is on full display with Fishing Club 2. They can decide when and where they fish and what tools to use for most successful angling. We are sure that such personalization will be a hit with the game’s fans and those new to the series.”
