Scientific Games Partners with Abacus Solutions
Scientific Games Corporation has partnered with Abacus Solutions International Group to develop a platform for shoppers to purchase lottery draw and instant games in retail checkout lanes.
Abacus, which has a significant penetration in supermarkets and big box stores, is a lottery technology partner that securely connects lottery systems technology directly through a retailer’s point-of-sale technology.
“Our research shows that in grocery stores in particular, only 5% of shoppers visit the area of the store where the lottery terminal is located and games can be purchased,” Simon Butler, CEO of Abacus, said.
The integration with the third-party solution from Abacus using their unique Fusion Platform will enable secure, in-lane lottery sales through Scientific Games’ new SCiQ retail technology system and AEGIS lottery draw game systems technology, allowing shoppers to purchase instant and draw games at the checkout.
“This partnership with Abacus is another example of Scientific Games’ commitment to invest in new retail innovation that opens opportunities for lotteries to bring products conveniently to players where they are. Our vision for retail innovation includes third-party, secure technology integrations that support lottery revenues with the most advanced technology possible,” Randall Lex, VP Lottery Retail Solutions for Scientific Games, said.
“The Abacus technology enables draw-based lottery tickets and instant games to be purchased at any retail point-of sale-terminal, and dramatically increases valuable lottery terminal foot-print in stores at a minimal cost. Our partnership with Scientific Games is a significant and exciting step forward, enabling Abacus technology with our retail partners to offer huge growth opportunities for lotteries and their beneficiaries,” Butler said.
“The Abacus and Scientific Games in-lane solution puts lottery products in front of 100% of the store’s customers as well as fitting into their existing shopping behavior. Working together to offer lotteries many more selling opportunities as well as offering new and innovative ways to play is the future of lottery and this partnership embraces that opportunity,” Terry Presta, Abacus Head of Business in the USA, said.
Table Trac Inc. (TBTC) has received patent-pending status from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its proprietary AI-driven Table Games Manager / Manager Trainer. The system leverages machine learning trained on decades of table games transactional data and pit player data to create distinct player personas designed to challenge both human pit managers and artificial intelligence systems.
The solution is delivered through a realistic gaming floor simulation environment, allowing the generation of a simulated gaming floor to be configured. Each training session utilizes a randomized mix of the player personas, creating a continually changing set of scenarios that never repeat. This approach enables trainees to compete head-to-head against the AI, optimize floor decisions to improve yield, and better understand the factors driving each decision.
While initially developed for table games management and training, the underlying artificial intelligence, simulation, and decision support framework has broader applicability across the CasinoTrac platform. Management is exploring additional use cases for this technology across the Company’s suite of casino management solutions, reinforcing CasinoTrac’s long-term product roadmap and innovation strategy.

GR8 Tech is implementing a series of platform-wide enhancements designed to help operators maximize performance during the year’s biggest sporting event.

The improvements aim to help partners convert more traffic, retain more players, and extract greater value throughout the entire tournament journey.
“World Cup traffic by itself does not guarantee better results.

We are enhancing the sportsbook experience, expanding engagement and loyalty tools, and advancing our crypto capabilities to help partners make the most of the biggest opportunity of the year.”

The update also includes updated tournament settings and the introduction of new game content to enhance player retention.
3. Crypto
The company is strengthening its crypto offering with early-stage player segmentation based on wallet transaction history, more flexible VIP and risk management before first deposit, and smoother wallet-based payments, including ramp payments and direct top-ups via WalletConnect and other wallets.
Across the platform, these updates are designed to help operators capitalize on the World Cup’s peak traffic, delivering measurable improvements at every stage of the player journey.
