New contracts will see the company overhaul Polla Chilena’s lottery and sports betting offerings, as well as provide a Monitoring System for Victoria’s 26,300 EGMs
Bally’s Intralot has secured two new long-term contracts this week to modernise the state lottery in Chile and provide electronic gaming machine monitoring in the Australian state of Victoria.
Following a competitive procurement, Bally’s Intralot was awarded a contract of up to 12 years with Chile’s Polla Chilena de Beneficencia, which consists of a 10-year base contract term, followed by one extension option of up to two years.
The agreement will see Bally’s Intralot overhaul Polla Chilena’s lottery and sports betting offerings across retail and digital channels by migrating to its LotosX Omni ecosystem.
Lottery retailers across Chile will be equipped with 2.500 next‑generation camera-based gaming terminals, while Polla Chilena’s website and mobile applications will be fully revamped.
“This agreement marks a significant milestone in Polla’s modernization process, enabling us to make a leap forward in technology, user experience, and operational efficiency,” said Polla Chilena general manager Demián Arancibia Zeballos. “Through this partnership, we aim to consolidate a gaming offering that is secure, modern, and aligned with our customers’ evolving expectations, while at the same time safeguarding our social role.”
Bally’s Intralot Group CEO Robeson Reeves commented: “Polla Chilena de Beneficencia is a valued long-standing partner and we are honored to renew and strengthen our collaboration. This agreement reflects the trust placed in our technology, our people, and our long‑term commitment to supporting regulated lottery operators.
“Working closely with Polla Chilena, we aim to deliver a modern, secure, and scalable gaming ecosystem that enables sustainable growth, innovation, and responsible operation of gaming services, supporting the lottery’s ongoing contribution to Chilean society.”
Bally’s Intralot has also this week been awarded a 15-year electronic gaming machine (EGM) monitoring licence in Victoria, Australia.
Effective 16 August 2027, approximately 26,300 EGMs will be connected to the Monitoring System, which will play a vital role in ensuring the ongoing integrity of EGM transactions in gaming venues.
Australian subsidiary Intralot Gaming Services (IGS) will also be responsible for the delivery, operation and maintenance of the statewide pre-commitment system for all EGMs in Victoria, including 2,628 EGMs at the Melbourne casino.
“This award represents a major milestone for Bally’s Intralot and IGS and is a significant investment in the future of Victoria’s gaming technology infrastructure,” said Reeves. “We look forward to working with the Victorian Government, the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission, and industry stakeholders to deliver a secure and transparent monitoring system that supports integrity and player protection.”
Bally’s Intralot revealed this week that it is discussing a potential transaction to acquire London-listed betting and gaming operator evoke.
The company believes that a combination with evoke has the potential to deliver “substantial strategic and operational synergies, including enhanced scale, an expanded geographic footprint and opportunities for cost efficiencies”.
