Bally’s Intralot S.A. has announced that its Canadian subsidiary, Intralot Canada Ltd., has signed a new contract with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) for the provision of Shared Services, an integrated model governed by BCLC, to accelerate the continued evolution of its lottery technology and to strengthen lottery operations, for the benefit of players across the Province.

Under the agreement, Intralot Canada will deliver end-to-end operational and technical support across BCLC’s lottery technology encompassing both lottery and technology operations. The contract further includes structured roadmap delivery for the ongoing enhancement of lottery technology and the seamless integration of new capabilities — ensuring BCLC remains at the forefront of lottery innovation.

BCLC looks forward to continuing its partnership with Bally’s Intralot in service of a more efficient, streamlined, and resilient operating framework that delivers an elevated experience for our players across both our retail and digital channels.”

We are committed to delivering our best-in-class, fully integrated Shared Services model in support of the responsible growth of the Lottery and the good causes it serves across the Province. This is an exciting new chapter for both organizations, and we look forward to the journey ahead,” said Robeson Reeves, CEO of the Bally’s Intralot group.

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is expanding its retail sportsbook offerings by opening two new PROLINE sportsbook lounges in the coming weeks.

Chances Casino Kelowna will host B.C.’s first in-person sportsbook lounge when the Chances Kelowna PROLINE Sportsbook Lounge opens for a sneak peek on Super Bowl Sunday before opening to the public the next day, on Monday, Feb. 10. The lounge will feature a massive 25-foot screen as well as food and drink and PROLINE betting.

BCLC will then open the province’s second in-person sportsbook lounge at Parq Casino in Vancouver in March.

A spokesperson from the crown corporation said that “the lounges offer something for sports lovers and sports bettors alike, including a best-in-class sports viewing experience and sports-betting terminals offering a full suite of competitive and live odds.”

“The sportsbook lounge is not just for sports betting, it is a go-to viewing destination for both regular gamedays and, for the biggest sporting events of the year, where B.C. sports fans and sports bettors can watch their favourite teams together, the home of the home team.”

BCLC has plans to introduce future sportsbook lounges at other casinos around the province.

Lounges will showcase BCLC’s modernized sportsbook

The two sportsbook lounges will be major showcases for BCLC’s expanded and revamped PROLINE, which it unveiled last fall on the eve of the NFL season. PROLINE replaced the Sports Action sportsbook that BCLC shut down last May after 33 years.
