Virginia Lottery is the first US lottery to offer a cloud-based iLottery program, following a technology partnership with NeoPollard Interactive.
NeoDraw is the gaming central system that supports drawing games. NeoSphere manages player accounts and provides marketing support. NeoPlay is the remote gaming server from eInstants, as well as the games that it hosts.
The migration to cloud-based hosting is expected to improve efficiencies in the operations and maintenance of Virginia Lottery’s iLottery program, powered by NeoPollard Interactive since launching eSubscriptions.
Kelly T. Gee is the executive director for Virginia Lottery. She said, “The Virginia Lottery has a commitment to provide a world-class player experience.” The use of cloud-based technology to increase the scalability and reliability of the iLottery system shows our players how we prioritize a smooth, reliable iLottery service. This ultimately helps us achieve our goal of raising revenue for public schools.
Virginia Lottery, according to its provider, can now scale up their iLottery program to accommodate big jackpots and the associated volume of campaigns and promotions.
Doug Pollard is NPi’s co-chief Executive. “We recognize the need to constantly refine our offering based on evolving and new technology,” he said. Delivering our iLottery through the cloud allows us to serve better the Virginia Lottery as well as other iLottery programs powered by NPi. “We value the Virginia Lottery’s trust in us for delivering this innovative solution.”
Moti malul, co-chief executive of iLottery said: “Record breaking jackpots in the past few years generated significant online traffic. This underscores the need for iLottery to respond effectively to the player demand. Cloud hosting offers enhanced capabilities, which can help our clients grow and meet player expectations.
