One of the world’s largest lottery operators just keeps growing. Scientific Games, a worldwide leader in online lottery games, draw content, instants, Keno, and more, just announced a partnership with UK-based Jelly Entertainment, as well as Allodium Games, a Prague-based online scratchcard creator.
The agreement with the European gaming entities will further expand the Scientific Games Content Hub, which is already considered one of the industry’s best game catalogs.
“Our digital content experts around the globe welcome Allodium Games and Jelly Entertainment to the SG Content Hub and its rapidly expanding roster of partner studios,” Steve Hickson, VP of Digital Games for Scientific Games, said in a press release. “Each of these new partners offer unique, exciting game experiences further increasing the variety of content available to our customers and their players.”
Jelly Entertainment, Allodium products to further diversify Scientific Games content
Allodium Games boasts more than 100 titles in its game library and has created a specific niche in online scratchcards, including custom products tailored to specific lottery markets.
Meanwhile, Jelly Entertainment, a relatively newer company that created its first product in 2021, will bring its innovative and highly entertaining titles to Scientific Games, delivering both social and real-money play.
Salva Lima, Chief Commercial Officer at Jelly Entertainment, said in the press release:
“We are very excited to be partnering with Scientific Games. It is an agreement that allows us to expand our reach to more players across various markets. Scientific Games holds top-tier status in a key vertical that will aid in our expansion locally, across Europe and westward as we look at the Americas.”
