Readen Holding Corporation (RHCO), a fintech, digital payments, and e-commerce venture capital firm, has signed the final deal to purchase an 80% controlling stake in Morrich Lottery Limited, a Nigerian lottery operator with a full license.
With the completion of this transaction, RHCO now has active licenses to operate casinos, sportsbooks, and lotteries in Nigeria, giving it access to a gaming market worth an estimated $2.5 billion that is expected to grow by more than 9% a year until 2030.
According to RHCO’s operational roadmap, each vertical will have industry-specific operating partners deployed. These verticals are casino, sportsbook and lottery.
In order to achieve widespread acceptance through retail and digital channels, Readen Holding Corporation will reinvent Morrich’s offers with scratch tickets, Keno, and mobile-first technologies. RHCO will introduce a full-spectrum betting platform with real-time odds and quick, secure payouts that is integrated with Readies. The market for online casinos is growing quickly, and RHCO hopes to generate over $500 million in income over the long run. The gradual introduction of regulated internet and venue-based gambling activities will adhere to local regulations.
