UAE Lottery Teams Up with EQL Games for Digital Expansion
The UAE’s exclusive federally authorized lottery, The Game, has unveiled a significant multi-year collaboration with the American company EQL Games, aiming to enhance its iLottery platform with a rich array of third-party digital content.
This partnership, overseen by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), marks a crucial development in the region’s nascent lottery sector.
Expanding iLottery Offerings
Under this new agreement, EQL Games will provide a variety of games sourced from its extensive iLottery Marketplace. This includes offerings from over 20 international studios and EQL Labs’ proprietary content.
“This is one of the most exciting lottery markets globally, and we’re thrilled to contribute to it,” stated Brad Cummings, the founder and CEO of EQL Games. “Our iLottery Marketplace will bring a diverse range of interactive content, kicking off with two innovative games.”
Introduction of New Games
The UAE Lottery’s platform has launched its inaugural games under this partnership—Marble Run and Lucky Lagoon, crafted by Random State, a partner studio of EQL Games. These games boast dynamic gameplay experiences with prize tiers reaching up to Dhs1.25 million.
Game Descriptions
Marble Run: Features five marbles in a high-speed race on a track dotted with multipliers and challenges, allowing players to win up to Dhs1 million depending on placement and ticket value.
