Sci-Games acquire Karma Gaming portfolio; Atlantic Lottery preps new iLottery

Gaming technology provider Scientific Games has acquired the interactive game portfolio of Canadian developer Karma Gaming.

On Wednesday, Sci-Games announced that it had acquired Karma Gaming’s game library in a deal that was concluded in June, although word has only just now emerged. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Sci-Games’ CEO of lottery operations Jim Kennedy said the deal would allow his company’s B2B clients to offer “unique solutions to lottery players that help them to move seamlessly between the retail and mobile/online lottery entertainment experience.”

Sci-Games and the Halifax-based Karma Gaming share several mutual lottery clients, including the Atlantic Lottery Corp (ALC) in Canada’s Maritime provinces. Last year, the ALC inked a deal that will see it deploy Sci-Games’ SciPlay iLottery gaming system starting in mid-2017.
