Trada Casino is a well-known brand in the Igaming industry launched in 2014. The games on Trada Casino website are powered through Aspire Global technology.

What differentiates Trada Casino from its competitors is the reputation it enjoys among the players from different markets. Trada Casino has won the Casinomeister Best Customer Service award in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and numerous other respectful awards which make the casino stand out. And most importantly, Trada Casino passed the Pogg audit and got the deposit guarantee seal.

“By combining the marketing expertise of Vita Media Group with the reputation of TradaCasino, we see this as the next step in the evolution of the casino. It will allow Trada Casino to leverage the powerful Vita Media Group marketing platforms, resulting in expansion in all our current markets in the EU and beyond.”

One of the first drastic changes for Trada Casino is that it will offer a chance to its players to win extra points, different prizes and rewards at the cross-loyalty platform Ekstrapoint.com. The players at Trada casino will also get the chance to exchange their extra points to products in the Ekstrapoint shop. As for the Ekstrapoint users, one of the new options they will receive in their experience are additional loyalty bonus packages that can be used at Trada Casino.

Ekstrapoint.com is the first and biggest loyalty platform, designed and developed by Vita Media Group, with more than 300 partner casinos and more than 250.000 users. The platform is free to use and its intention is to bring back the fun in casino games for all casino enthusiasts in the world. The platform offers casino competitions and rewards players with extra points every time they play or sign-up for a partner casino offer. Once the players collect a certain amount of extra points, they can use their points in the Ekstrapoint shop.

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.

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.”
