Pollard Banknote Tuesday announced a partnership with Instant Win Gaming to make its portfolio of e-instant games available to Pollard Banknote’s ilottery clients.

As part of the agreement, IWG completed its integration of its remote game server with the Pollard Catalyst gaming platform, the software powering Pollard Banknote’s ilottery solution.

“We’re excited for this new partnership, which will allow even more lotteries to benefit from IWG’s highly successful game portfolio,” said Pollard Banknote Vice President, Digital Engagement Shannon DeHaven in a statement.

“IWG’s library of proven, lottery-focused e-instant games make an excellent complement to our own offerings from the Pollard Digital Games Studio.”

The integration, completed in just a few weeks, was made possible by Catalyst’s cloud-native, modular, and API-first architecture, along with the knowledge of the lottery technology teams at Pollard Banknote and IWG. This same flexible design also enabled Catalyst to launch with a US lottery earlier this year just ten months after scoping.

According to a release, this set a record for the fastest full ilottery program implementation in US history.

“By working directly together, our teams completed the integration in just a few weeks – avoiding project delays and the complications that many lotteries are currently experiencing when an intermediary aggregation platform is involved,” DeHaven said. “This reflects our shared commitment to modern, flexible technology platforms designed for ease of integration.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Pollard Banknote to offer our portfolio of e-instant games to clients of their state-of-the-art Catalyst platform,” said Instant Win Gaming Executive Vice President Jason Lisiecki.

“Our games always generate high player engagement, which in turn creates significant transaction volume. Through our many years of experience, we’ve found that direct-to-wallet integrations – just like the one enabled by Catalyst – consistently deliver the lowest operational latency, resulting in a much smoother and more responsive player experience. Catalyst’s cloud-native, modular, and API-first architecture, combined with the professionalism and technical expertise of the Pollard Banknote team, made the integration process seamless.”
