GTECH's game content strategy is to engage the player with appealing game types offered within the particular game categories defined below.
"Daily Draw" Games
For daily draw games, numbers can either be drawn a few times a day or several times per week. Players purchase tickets typically through retail points-of-sale, such as a convenience store, and then they wait for the numbers to be drawn either that same day or later in the week. Game tickets are purchased via clerk-activated terminals or self-service terminals. Some examples of Daily Draw games include: Pick 3, Pick 4, PowerBall, or Mega Millions and EuroMillions.
"Quick Draw" Games
With a quick draw game, there is a higher frequency of draws. The games are generally offered in social settings, such as bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, etc. Similar to "Daily Draw" games, players can buy game tickets via clerk-activated terminals or self-service terminals, and then watch the lottery's drawn numbers on television monitors at these lottery retailer locations. Typically, games are drawn at least every five minutes, and in some jurisdictions, numbers are drawn for the game every three to four minutes. Offered by several lotteries worldwide, the most widely recognized quick draw game is Keno (also know as Rapido in France).
"Player Draw" Games
Similar to the "Daily Draw" games, these games allow players to find out the results instantly or as soon as the tickets are printed from a lottery terminal. These games may be purchased through clerk-activated or self-service terminals, but are also offered by some lotteries through the Internet, mobile phones, and PDA devices.
"Event Draw" Games
These are games based on actual event outcomes - usually sporting events. A player will wager on the outcome of a sporting event, such as soccer, horse racing, etc.
Any one of the game categories that have been mentioned here can also be offered through personal devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, or computers.
