When examining the European instants market, there is no status quo. The market is constantly moving and evolving as players’ needs do. It’s important to recognize that growth factors vary from lottery to lottery, as jurisdictional legislative dictates range from conservative to less restrictive. There are many variables in play, and they need to work seamlessly to ensure success. These include price points, payouts, playstyles, and more—each must be considered in order to ensure a lottery’s product mix includes offerings for all types of players.

The player convenience and support for health and safety protocols afforded by self-service have never been more relevant than they are today. IGT has been a partner to the Missouri Lottery since 1991. In 2019, as part of the current Facilities Management contract with the Lottery, IGT pledged to equip the Lottery’s GameTouch™ self-service Lottery Vending Machines (LVM) with cashless capabilities. Since go-live in July of 2020, cashless transactions have comprised over 5% of total LVM sales. The rollout of the cashless capability was also incredibly timely, executed throughout July and August 2020, a time of continued social distancing and heightened sensitivity for cleanliness and safety brought on by COVID-19.

COVID-19 has caused significant issues in many sectors, but the Lottery industry has proved to be resilient. Many with interactive offerings have seen tremendous category growth even during the pandemic’s height. As recounted in the July/August 2020 issue of Public Gaming International, “the long-term strategic planning of both lotteries and their well-timed choice to focus more on the digital channel at the beginning of 2020 resulted in positive momentum and a strong first half of 2020.” How have U.S. lotteries applied the digital advantage?
