Hellenic Lotteries selected Scientific Games as it’s supplier of scratchcards through a competitive process

Scientific Games and Hellenic Lotteries, as part of Allwyn Hellas, have partnered up to bring scratchcard games to Greek players in a new 12-year agreement. 

After a competitive process, Scientific Games was selected as a supplier of scratchcards for Hellenic Lotteries. It was recently granted the exclusive right to operate and manage lottery and scratchcard games by the Greek state for a period of 12 years. 

Hellenic launched 14 new scratchcard games in May, and the agreement also includes the possibility to provide digital lottery propositions in the future. 

"At Allwyn Hellas and Hellenic Lotteries, we put players at the centre of everything we do, emphasizing their entertainment experience. Therefore, we're delighted to collaborate with Scientific Games as our instant game provider to deliver exciting scratchcard games to players in Greece.

In addition, Bally’s Intralot recently signed a new agreement with Hellenic Lotteries to continue providing its lottery services for Greece’s state lottery operations. 

"Our instant game innovators will continue to apply Scientific Games' 53 years of analytics and game design best practices working to provide a portfolio of innovative scratchcards that drives responsible growth in Greece," said Matthias Müller, SVP, International Sales for Scientific Games.
