Scientific Games’ SCiQ retail technology is set to roll out at North Carolina Education Lottery retailers as part of the Lottery’s focus on improving the retail environment for its Scratch-Off games. The company will deploy 1000 SCiQ units at lottery retailers across North Carolina. NCEL Scratch-Off games represented more than $2.9 billion in retail sales in fiscal year 2024, anchoring NCEL among the world’s top 15 performing instant game lotteries (La Fleur’s 2024 World Almanac).

Offering real-time scratch game inventory management data that amplifies the power of Scientific Games’ SciTrak predictive ordering system used by NCEL, SCiQ creates supply chain efficiencies proven to lift scratch game sales. In stores, SCiQ improves operational and reporting efficiencies for retailers. Lottery players will benefit from new digital displays that provide details on available games, enhancing the ordering experience. SCiQ is currently deployed at chain and independent retailers in more than a dozen U.S. markets and recently launched for the first time in Europe.

Mark Michalko, North Carolina Education Lottery CEO and Executive Director, said: “We’re excited to bring SCiQ to our retailers throughout the state, providing them with a streamlined way to manage and sell NCEL Scratch-Off games in their stores. We anticipate that this technology system will improve inventory management for our retailers with store-level data analytics and improve sales to ultimately benefit education in our state.”

SCiQ is the only technology of its kind for managing the lottery category within stores. The system provides retailers with a comprehensive suite of features, including fully integrated digital menu boards for modern product display, automated inventory management that can dramatically reduce out-of-stocks, real-time store-specific sales and market basket performance reports. SCiQ also helps reduce product theft by utilizing locked bins that automatically dispense tickets.

Michael Martin, VP Retail Solutions for Scientific Games, said: “We commend the NCEL team for its clear vision on the need for technology that improves how Scratch-Off games are managed and sold in stores. Scientific Games is thrilled to add more value to our instant game partnership with NCEL through SCiQ, and we look forward to working with NCEL retailers to make selling Scratch-Offs as easy and efficient as possible.”

The company also provides NCEL with instant games and manages the products through the performance-driven Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program at its facility near Raleigh, North Carolina.

Booming Games turns up the temperature with Inferno Fortune Power Hit, the explosive first title in the brand-new Power Hit Series.

Set on a blazing 6×4 grid with 4096 ways to win, Inferno Fortune Power Hit is designed for players who crave nonstop action and high win potential. At the core of the game lies the powerful Power Hit feature, which can be triggered in both the base game and Free Spins.

To activate a Power Hit Spin, players need to land collector symbols on reels 1 and/or 6, which then collect the value of all coin symbols currently on screen. Coin symbols can land on all reels with values ranging from 0.5x up to 20x, delivering frequent wins with fiery intensity.

But that’s not all—players also have the chance to land jackpot coins, paying out 50x (Mini), 100x (Minor), 250x (Major) and a scorching 2000x for the Grand Jackpot. And if two collectors land at once? Every coin on screen gets collected twice, igniting even bigger win potential.

Free Spins are triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Symbols, awarding 3, 5, 7, or 9 Free Spins, respectively. Additionally, any scattered Bonus Symbols that don’t trigger the feature are stored in the Inferno Fireball. This fiery orb builds tension throughout the session and can randomly explode at any time,  suddenly launching players into the Free Spins mode.

To turn up the heat even further, players can activate the Inferno Bet, boosting their chances of triggering Free Spins. And for those who prefer to skip the wait, Inferno Fortune Power Hit also offers four Buy Bonus options, providing instant access to the fiery Free Spins feature.

Packed with coin collection thrills, random bonus triggers, jackpot excitement, and blazing visual effects, Inferno Fortune Power Hit marks an electrifying start to Booming Games’ Power Hit Series.

Moritz Blume, Vice President of Product at Booming Games, said: “With Inferno Fortune Power Hit, we’re launching a feature-packed, high-energy series designed to keep players on the edge of their seats. The collection mechanic, jackpot potential, and random bonus triggers offer a thrilling experience from start to finish.”
