Testament to the supplier’s invaluable contribution to the CEE and CIS gaming scene, Evoplay Entertainment has gone from strength-to-strength in 2020, taking the casino industry by storm as Slot Developer of the Year with a diverse selection of titles designed to deliver a next-generation gaming experience.

Led in the commercial arena by the company’s CBDO, who takes home Speaker of the Year, Vladimir Malakchi and his team have established the brand as a hugely popular entertainment channel for the global streaming and player community.

The studio’s progressive marketing approach, highlighted with its Marketing Guru of the Year award, has seen the company collaborate with several leading industry influencers, as well as multiple player-first social campaigns across Instagram to connect with players via giveaways, AR filters and other exciting fan competitions.

Commenting on the team’s success, Vladimir Malakchi, CBDO at Evoplay Entertainment said:

“It’s been a transformative year for all of us at Evoplay Entertainment and our brilliant success is down to every one of us here – and I’m proud and honoured to be working alongside such a talented team.

“We’ve been outstanding in our work because of our approach to creativity – and we want to deliver gaming experiences that can truly be called next generation. Too much of what we see on the market right now is just about ‘spin and win’, we want to make sure our games can offer that immersive, gamified extra that really drives engagement.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers. The conversion also includes the launch of the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) instant game management program, which the company said combines analytics, logistics, retail optimization and product strategy.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
