Michigan Lottery Launches Endzone Payout

LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan.30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IWG, the award-winning supplier of online, instant-win games, and Inspired Entertainment (Nasdaq: INSE), a world leader in virtual sports, have delivered a new Instant-Virtual Football game, Endzone Payout, to the Michigan Lottery.

Launched ahead of the weekend's big game, Michigan is the first to roll out this brand-new vertical for North American lotteries.

The sports-themed virtual scratch ticket uses a video clip of a single football play as an exciting way to reveal the outcome of a simple symbol match lottery game.

Shannon DeHaven, Deputy Commissioner of Digital Operations at Michigan Lottery, said: "We feel confident that the launch of this brand-new style of sports-themed digital instant ticket game will appeal to both our existing player base and new players."

Rhydian Fisher, IWG CEO, said: "It's exciting to see our first U.S. lottery customer go live with one of the most inventive games to hit the North American lottery market in recent times. Endzone Payout is the type of game that combines the best of instant win mechanics and virtual sports animations into an easy-to-understand concept."
