Fourth Consecutive U.S. Record For Scientific Games’ Scratch-Offs Partner Florida Lottery
Scientific Games Corporation announces that its longtime instant game partner the Florida Lottery (the “Lottery”) broke a fourth consecutive U.S. record for single week retail sales of Scratch-off games. The Company creates, manufactures and manages 99% of the Lottery’s Scratch-off games. Floridians purchased $149,808,055 in Scratch-offs the week ending March 1, 2019, shattering the previous record and generating more than $27.8 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund to benefit Florida students.
The record week of instant game retail sales crushed the Florida Lottery’s previous U.S. record of $126,249,658 set in 2019. This year’s record week comes six months after the Lottery announced eight consecutive years of record-breaking annual sales for fiscal year 2019. The record week of instant games was processed at the Company’s Orlando facility using SciTrak™, the latest version of advanced logistics technology offered through the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) with the Lottery.
The new weekly sales record week was driven by the Lottery’s new $30 The Fastest Road to $1 Million Scratch-off game, featuring 155 million dollar prizes, which topped $28 million in retail sales. Sales for all $30 games topped $39 million in the record week. Other top-sellers were a 10X®, 20X, 50x, 100X family of games at the $1, $2, $5 and $10 price point that recorded $26.7 million in sales for the week. Additionally, year-over-year sales for all $10 games grew 90% from the same week last year, led by the $50–$100–$500 Blowout! and 100X games that had combined sales of $33 million in the record week.
Instant games are an important part of the Florida Lottery’s portfolio of games, comprising about 69% of its total sales in fiscal year 2019. The Lottery participates in SGEP which provides instant game design, programming, manufacturing, inside sales, marketing, warehousing, as well as distribution and retail services to more than 13,000 Florida Lottery retailers.
“Scientific Games congratulates the Florida Lottery on a fourth consecutive U.S. record sales week for Scratch-offs. We are honored to be the Lottery’s instant games partner and share their mission to generate maximum funding for education in the state,” said John Schulz, Senior Vice President, Instant Products for Scientific Games. “The success of the Florida Lottery’s Scratch-off games comes from many years of working closely together to create and market games that drive results.”
Scientific Games launched the world’s first secure instant game in 1974 and is the largest provider of instant games in the world. The U.S.-based Company provides games, technology and services to more than 150 lotteries around the globe, including nearly every North American lottery.

BETER Cracks Florida Market: Setka Cup Now Live on Hard Rock Bet
Editor’s Take
Why this matters: Florida is a “monopoly market” controlled by the Seminole Tribe, meaning there is only one door in: Hard Rock Bet. By securing vendor registration here, BETER gains access to one of the most populous states in the U.S. without the fragmentation of competition seen in states like New Jersey. The immediate deployment of Setka Cup (table tennis) fills a crucial need for 24/7, fast-paced content during U.S. daytime off-hours.
The Full Story
BETER, the provider of next-gen betting content and data, has officially entered the Florida sports betting market after securing Vendor Registration from the Seminole Tribe of Florida (dba Seminole Gaming).
The regulatory approval allows BETER to supply its fast-paced betting products to the state’s sole authorized operator, Hard Rock Bet.
Day One Impact: Table Tennis Following the approval, BETER has immediately launched its exclusive Setka Cup table tennis tournaments on the Hard Rock Bet platform.
-
The Product: Setka Cup provides 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and odds.
-
The Reach: Florida becomes the fifth U.S. state where Setka Cup is available to bettors.
-
The Metric: BETER covers approximately 700,000 fast-paced events annually, offering up to 50 betting markets per event with margins often exceeding market standards.
Next Phase: Esports While table tennis is live now, BETER has confirmed that its esports portfolio—specifically ESportsBattle—will be integrated into Hard Rock Bet in the “near future.” This will bring round-the-clock eFootball, eBasketball, and other fast-market disciplines to Florida bettors.
Management Commentary Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, emphasized the strategic value of the exclusive Hard Rock partnership:
“Launching Setka Cup with our partner Hard Rock Bet is particularly significant, as it allows us to introduce our fast-betting content to Florida bettors through a highly trusted sportsbook platform. We see strong long-term potential in Florida… Our esports content, particularly ESportsBattle, will also be going live soon.”
Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, noted the complexity of the approval:
“Obtaining vendor registration in Florida reflects the strength of our regulatory strategy… We are grateful to the Seminole Tribe of Florida dba Seminole Gaming for their cooperation throughout the registration process.”
This approval is part of a wider U.S. expansion strategy for BETER, which has already secured access in key states including Ohio, Arizona, and Kentucky.

BETER Secures Vendor Registration in Florida
BETER, the award-winning provider of live streaming, real-time data, and odds for fast-paced esports and sports content, has continued its U.S. expansion by securing Vendor Registration in the state of Florida.
The registration was granted by the Seminole Tribe of Florida dba Seminole Gaming, the regulatory authority that also oversees sports betting operations in the state.
Following the approval, BETER’s exclusive Setka Cup table tennis tournaments, featuring live streams, live data, and odds, are now available to bettors via the Hard Rock Bet. This launch marks BETER’s official entry into the Florida market, making Florida the fifth U.S. state where Setka Cup is available.
BETER delivers 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and hyper-accurate odds for approximately 700,000 fast-paced events each year across a range of esports and sports disciplines, offering up to 50 betting markets per event and an average operator margin higher than the market standard. BETER expects to unlock much of this additional value through the integration of its exclusive ESportsBattle content into the Hard Rock Bet platform in the near future.
All matches are thoroughly monitored by BETER’s dedicated Integrity team, ensuring strict adherence to transparency standards and the rules of fair play.
Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Securing vendor registration in Florida is another major milestone for BETER and a clear signal of our growing momentum across regulated U.S. markets.
“Launching Setka Cup with our partner Hard Rock Bet is particularly significant, as it allows us to introduce our fast-betting content to Florida bettors through a highly trusted sportsbook platform. We see strong long-term potential in Florida and are excited to continue building our presence here. Our esports content, particularly ESportsBattle, will also be going live soon, further enhancing the overall betting experience in the state.
“Our teams are looking forward to fruitful collaboration.”
Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, added: “Obtaining vendor registration in Florida reflects the strength of our regulatory strategy and the expertise of our legal team in navigating the complex U.S. regulatory landscape.
“We are grateful to the Seminole Tribe of Florida dba Seminole Gaming for their cooperation throughout the registration process. This approval further supports our broader U.S. expansion plans as we continue securing licenses and launching our products in key regulated states, including Ohio, Arizona, Kentucky, and others.”
