Scientific Games and the New York Lottery will continue their nearly 50-year partnership to bring world-leading instant scratch-off games to players in the state with a new primary provider contract.

The New York Lottery boasts one of the highest total lottery profits in North America and is ranked No. 8 worldwide for instant scratch game sales (La Fleur’s 2024 World Almanac). The collaborative, primary provider partnership with Scientific Games has resulted in a well-balanced scratch-off portfolio, with three price points ranked in the top five in the U.S. for weekly per capita sales (MAP 52-week average per capita). Focus on $30 scratch-offs with innovative designs and strategic prize structures that appeal to a broad player base has delivered consistent top performers.

“The New York Lottery is proud to continue its partnership with Scientific Games,” said Gweneth Dean, Director of the New York Lottery. “For decades, our collaboration has resulted in billions of dollars for New York’s public schools, and we look forward to creating exciting new games for our players and supporting our dedicated retailers across the state.”

As part of the new contract, Scientific Games will continue to provide the New York Lottery with consumer and product research and data analytics, game development and portfolio planning to help ensure the success of the Lottery’s scratch-off games.

“We’re honored to continue as the primary scratch-off game provider to one of the world’s most successful lotteries and support their important mission to fund education for New York students,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games.  “Our long-standing, strategic partnership has continued to bring entertaining scratch entertainment experiences to players in the state, and we look forward to many more decades of success together.”

U.S.-based Scientific Games created and produced the New York Lottery’s very first scratch-off game and has worked side-by-side with the Lottery to provide products across the state’s network of approximately 14,000 lottery retailers.

With products that generate more than 70% of global instant game retail sales, Scientific Games is the world’s largest lottery games creator, producer and services provider, and the primary provider to nine of the Top 10 performing instant game lotteries in the world.

Elantil integrates 155.io into online marketplace

Just when operators were starting to think the range of content offered by Elantil couldn’t possibly get any more diverse, the pioneering platform solutions provider has pulled off one of the great early rug pulls of 2026 by integrating 155.io into its online marketplace.

Proudly supplying “betting on chaos” since 2024, 155.io is a disruptive live game company that’s already made big waves in the industry due to its incredibly unique line-up. Designed to offer real-time madness for a mobile-first world, 155.io takes creative concepts and broadcasts them from its studio to operators around the world, creating an all-new kind of immersive betting experience.

Games offered by the supplier include Rush Hour, where players bet on how much traffic will cross a zone based on real CCTV footage, Duck Racing, where eight fearless rubber duckies race down a lazy river obstacle course with players betting on the winner, and Marble Plinko, which will definitely be a familiar concept to anyone who took part in Elantil’s Marble Races at ICE this year!

Now that 155.io’s full line-up of quirky live games has been added to Elantil’s Marketplace, operators will be able to reach out to the supplier’s business development and sales partner, RPM Gaming, directly to form their own custom agreements, with Elantil handling everything else.

By doing things this way, customers have full flexibility over the length and terms of their deal, enabling them to hand-pick the best games for their target audience while also cutting out the middleman and saving on costs – both of which are hallmarks of the Elantil approach to business.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “As something of a disruptive presence in the industry ourselves, it goes without saying that Elantil is naturally drawn to fellow innovators in the iGaming space. 155.io certainly fits that description, and by adding their distinctive range of live games to our online marketplace, we’ll be able to offer our partners a totally unique line-up of content that will help them create greater engagement and retention with mobile-first players.”

Sam Jones, Chief Executive Officer at 155.io, said: “155.io and Elantil are both companies that have made names for themselves by doing things differently, so we’re really happy to be sharing our chaotic brand of mobile-first content with a platform provider that genuinely appreciates the importance of going against the status quo. Now that our full line-up of games is integrated into their marketplace, I’m looking forward to seeing what our real-time madness can do for Elantil operators!”
