PROVIDENCE, R.I. - (July 10, 2009) – Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) lottery players in Jamaica now have the convenience of playing their favorite lottery game over the phone with a new telebetting feature provided by GTECH Corporation. GTECH’s ES Connect® system allows SVL lottery players to place wagers and collect winnings over their landline or mobile phone, without visiting a lottery agent.

“The launch of the new telebetting feature in Jamaica is a result of GTECH's continued commitment to providing innovative products and solutions to help our customers successfully grow their businesses,” said Senior Vice President of GTECH Americas, Alan Eland. “With the security and reliability of our ES Connect system, buying a lottery ticket in Jamaica is now as easy as making a phone call.”

“Mobile phone use in Jamaica is increasing and now with GTECH’s advanced technology and security system, we are able to offer our games to a new player segment that might have not otherwise considered buying a lottery ticket,” said President and CEO of SVL, Brian George. “This is an exciting new avenue that will potentially help us expand our player base and raise more revenue for our good causes.”

Under the GO PLAY brand, players register for access to an assigned card that monitors all transactions and is linked to a specified phone account. GO PLAY gives lottery players the freedom and convenience of placing wagers for a variety of popular games such as Lotto, Pick 3, or Cash Pot through their phone from wherever they are in Jamaica.

Players must be at least 18 years of age and open an account with a minimum of JMD$100. Players call a toll free number to place their bets, add money, or check the balance on their account. Winners are notified via text message and prizes up to JMD$300,000 are automatically deposited into the players’ account. Prize amounts in excess of JMD$300,000 must be claimed in person at an SVL Regional Retail or Prize Payment Center.

GTECH Corporation has been the technology provider to SVL since its inception in 2001. SVL is a publicly listed company on the Jamaica Stock Exchange with shares also cross-listed on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange.
