International Game Technology PLC and Churchill Downs Incorporated announced that they have expanded their HHR technology footprints to Malta via an agreement with National Lottery plc, a subsidiary of IZI Group. As per the agreement, IGT product will initially represent 100% HHR floor share at National Lottery’s first HHR venue, IZIBINGO situated in St. Paul’s Bay, and Exacta Services Inc., a subsidiary of CDI, will power the property’s gaming floor with its Exacta Connect system solution. IGT and Exacta will also power HHR at several other National Lottery gaming venues throughout the island. These landmark deployments mark the world’s first HHR technology deployment outside of the US.

National Lottery plc will launch its HHR offering with more than 80 IGT HHR games on proven IGT hardware including the PeakSlant49, PeakSlant32 and Cobalt27 cabinets. Players will have the opportunity to enjoy HHR-versions of award-winning games such as Prosperity Link and player-favourite IGT classic games such as Cleopatra Gold, Wolf Run Gold and Stinkin’ Rich Skunks Gone Wild. Exacta Connect will be the driving force with its all-in-one pari-mutuel system, ensuring the gaming floors are compliant, running smoothly and driving handle.

“Exacta is thrilled to announce our new partnership with IZI Group and IGT in Malta, which marks an exciting first step towards our international expansion. The flexibility of our Exacta Connect system in adapting to different markets and legislative environments, coupled with the thrill of HHR gaming, continues to drive this growth,” Jeff Lind, President of Exacta Systems, said.

“We are excited to launch the first-ever HHR offering outside the USA. This first installation at IZIBINGO and other sites within our lottery network in the coming weeks is the result of extensive efforts and represents a significant step in our mission to innovate the operations of the National Lottery. Our collaboration with Exacta and IGT, two of the world’s leading technology providers in this market, enables us to establish the ideal showcase for this offering, as we endeavor to expand this concept internationally,” Johann Schembri, Chief Executive Officer of National Lottery plc, said.

“Expanding our Historical Horse Racing footprint in Malta is an exciting growth milestone for IGT and a testament to the quality and global relevance of our HHR content and hardware portfolio. By offering players HHR-versions of highly popular IGT games such as Prosperity Link and Cleopatra, National Lottery plc is extending the reach of some of the gaming industry’s most celebrated content in a format that players readily enjoy,” Nick Khin, IGT Chief Operating Officer of Gaming, said.

Under the extended collaboration, Blueprint said the entire Rapid Fire Jackpots™ portfolio will be integrated into NetBet’s casino lobby over time, starting with an initial batch of titles now made available to NetBet players.

Rapid Fire Jackpots™ launched in June 2024 and is positioned by Blueprint as a complementary mechanic to its Jackpot King™ product, designed to deliver more frequent jackpot wins. Jack Lawson, Senior Account Manager at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Rapid Fire Jackpots™ has added a new dimension to our portfolio since launch, giving players access to more frequent jackpot drops alongside the premium gameplay experiences our content is known for.

“Expanding the rollout of the mechanic with NetBet allows us to build on the strong momentum already generated through our partnership, while further cementing our position as a leading supplier in the UK market.” Claudia Georgevici, PR Manager at NetBet Casino, said: “Blueprint Gaming’s titles have proven to be a strong addition to our casino lobby over the past year, and the integration of Rapid Fire Jackpots™ is set to further boost that offering.
