LUXEMBOURG, Sept. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoGames S.A. (Nasdaq: NGMS) (“NeoGames” or the “Company”), a technology-driven provider of end-to-end iLottery and iGaming solutions, has significantly expanded its reach in Canada through the launch of its premium eInstant games from NeoGames Studio with Atlantic Lottery (AL).
The agreement, through NeoPollard Interactive LLC (NPi), a company jointly owned by Pollard Banknote Limited and NeoGames S.A., and powering the most profitable iLottery programs, sees AL gain access to a rich stream of content created by NeoGames Studio.

We are confident that our range of innovative games, such as Desert Fantasy, winner of the 2023 EGR North America Award for “Best New Game”, will enhance AL's online footprint and attract new audiences, supporting the company's growth in the iLottery market. It is a partnership designed to help AL maximize profitability and proceeds to good causes, while also providing players in Atlantic Canada with the best possible gaming experience.”
Robert Lalonde, Director of iGaming at AL, said: “AL is thrilled to launch NeoGames Studio’s innovative content library to further enhance the digital gaming experience in Atlantic Canada.
