Marco Caccavale, Managing Director of Lottery and International Business of SISAL, said, “We are extremely pleased to have been awarded the concession to operate the national lottery in Morocco. Most recently, we have enjoyed significant market successes with the award of the concession to operate parimutuel games (GNTN) in Italy, and winning the bid to operate the national lottery in Turkey with our partner Şans Dijital, an affiliate of Demirören Holding, one of Turkey’s largest companies. For all of these significant opportunities, Scientific Games offers relevant, innovative products and services for several growth segments of our businesses. The extent of the collaboration we have with Scientific Games in MoroccoItaly and Turkey is clear evidence of the strength of our strategic partnership.”

Scientific Games has provided lottery retail technology to SISAL since 1997, with SISAL relying on the Company for the vast majority of its retailer terminals in Italy. In 2017, Scientific Games and SISAL further strengthened their collaboration, entering into a strategic partnership agreement.

Currently the largest lottery technology provider in Europe and the fastest growing in the U.S., Scientific Games supplies games, technology and services to more than 150 lotteries in 50 countries, and sports betting solutions to 24 lotteries and numerous private operators. The Company is a responsible gaming supplier.

Leading distributor for emerging markets announces the appointment of its new business lead to drive African sales

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has appointed Ekaterina Mayorova to the new role of Sales & Account Manager for Africa & Eastern Europe, as it bids to consolidate its existing presence across Europe and, in particular, drive new revenue streams across Africa’s evolving landscape.

Ekaterina arrives at QTech Games after successful stints at Trustly and, most recently, PandaScore where she respectively proved herself in both account management and senior business development roles. Now Ekaterina brings those talents to bear at the industry’s leading aggregator for developing markets, where she will be responsible for managing QTech’s existing partners in Africa and Eastern Europe – spearheading that progressive expansion into Africa’s diverse patchwork quilt of territories.

QTech Games CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re delighted to now have Ekaterina at QTech Games where she has hit the ground running and proved herself a quick study. Her extensive experience and network in our targeted territories is already serving us well, especially as we broaden our existing influence across Africa.

“She’ll be a true asset to both QTech and all our clients, as we grow in Africa to make it a substantial part of our total revenue mix. We have high growth hopes for the region in the coming years and we want to dominate by building a strong brand in the region.”

Ekaterina Mayorova added: “I’m thrilled to be underway at QTech Games, a company with the most customizable content suite and focus on emerging markets. Beyond that, I’ve already found a cohesive and collaborative structure with an organisational culture to match – I think the team is fantastic!

“Having worked across iGaming, esports, and fintech, I’m thrilled to take on this new opportunity—bringing innovative gaming solutions to some of the most dynamic and fast-growing markets. Africa holds a special place in my career journey, and I’m looking forward to deepening partnerships, driving growth, and collaborating with forward-thinking operators and platforms in the region.”

QTech Hybrid is a software service that joins up QTech Games’ AI-powered casino lobby (a leading game-personalisation engine known as QTech Play) to a land-based (retail) management system and a state-of-the-art integrated AMS (Agent Management System) to manage both retail outlets and agents. This allows operators to scale their brick-and-mortar operation online. QTech Hybrid simplifies transactions by enabling deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay while allowing access to players both in-store and on personal devices.

For the player, the net result is that they can now enjoy all the games from the comfort of their own home, or on the move. For the operator, there is no need for expensive terminals, as QTech Hybrid runs on cost-effective computers/tablets. In short, it’s ideal for operators looking to extend their reach across multiple platforms, providing the flexibility to operate both land-based and online through the AMS.
