Pollard Banknote has announced an extension to its Instant Ticket Printing Services Agreement with the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC).
This extension will be a five-year one, with the option to extend for five years beyond that and will follow on from when the deal was originally signed back in 2013.
As a result, Pollard Banknote will continue to provide instant tickets, game design and other services to the five Canadian regional lottery corporations.
Though this agreement was first signed just over 10 years ago, the pair have been working together for 35 years to develop games, and most recently saw Pollard Banknote work with ILC to expand its presence into the digital lottery landscape with the latest in its Jackpot games.
ILC Director of National Games Sarah Price said, “We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Pollard Banknote.
“Their expertise and experience in the industry has allowed us to bring exciting new concepts and instant games to the Canadian market. The contract extension will allow us to continue to deliver innovative and creative games that players love and that will generate revenue for the vital programs the lotteries support throughout Canada and their respective provinces.”
Pollard Banknote Vice President, Sales & Marketing Brad Thompson added, “Pollard Banknote is thrilled to have the opportunity to extend our partnership with the ILC.
“We are excited to continue providing innovative products that stand out at retail and extend the play experience into the digital landscape, with the ultimate goal of maximizing revenue for good causes across Canada.”
