Draw Games from the President NASPL Staff David B LEADERSHIP IN THE LAND NASPL LAUNCHES NEW SITE The Official Publication of the North American Association of State & Provincial Lotteries INSIGHTSMay/June 2016 Focus on: Draw Games From the President NASPL Staff David B. Gale Executive Director Thomas Tulloch Director of Administration Andrew White VP of Operations Tamika Ligon Director of Program Planning f you haven’t been NASPL’s website recently, you should check it out! The site has been refreshed John Koenig Graphic Designer Iand has a new colorful, tiled look that is now mobile Janine Hutzell Accounting friendly. Since nearly two-thirds of U.S. residents have Patricia McQueen Editor smartphones, this upgrade was critical. The redesign also included adding a rotating features box, a new Jake Coy Vendor Relations section on responsible gambling and player protection, Mike Duff NSI Coordinator and a media center. The link to the Matrix from the website is new, too, and offers lottery members quick Paul Corey I.T. / Software Development access to important research information. Also, check out the article in this issue about Connecticut becoming the first U.S. lottery to license the British Columbia Lottery Corp.’s GameSense program, NASPL Executive Committee which offers positive materials to promote responsible May Scheve Reardon President play. One theme of the branding program is to be sure players see gambling as entertainment, and not a source of income. We all want players to have fun without Rose Hudson First Vice-President getting in over their heads. Charlie McIntyre Second Vice-President We’ve also compiled a section on draw games: a look at some of the game innovations out there, how lotteries advertise their jackpots and the promotions Alice Garland Treasurer they’ve launched. It’s interesting to see that in some ways lotteries promote these David Barden Secretary games in a similar fashion, but we all are using different strategies. In addition, there’s a look at how Canadian lotteries have refreshed their big national lotto games. Terry Rich Immediate Past President Speaking of strategies, NASPL’s expanded executive committee, which includes David Loeb Pres. Interprovincial Lotteries past presidents still in director roles, met recently to decide the top three long-term key strategic priorities. As we identified through a previous survey of members and Carole Hedinger Region I Director vendors, we needed a strategic plan with clear actionable items. We agreed the top Paula Harper Bethea Region II Director three anchors are training and professional development, the annual conference and big industry issues. First, members think training and professional development Randy Miller Region III Director events are relevant and have a clear purpose for attendees. Second, while they get Gary Grief Region IV Director a lot out of the annual conference, members would like to see more unique topics; presentations they can’t find at any other industry event. Third, we need to address big industry issues, like uniformity, along with NASPL developing positions on key issues. Members want NASPL to be the voice of the industry. So the next step is for members to develop an action plan for these anchors during May and June. Webinars will be held for directors and lottery staff in May to gather input. Then during the Spring Directors’ INSIGHTS Meeting in June, we will hold breakout sessions to develop detailed items to be included in the final action plan. So we have much work ahead of us.

The Wheel of Fortune brand is also one of the most successful and well established brands in the multi-billion dollar gaming industry. 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the Wheel of Fortune slot games. IGT has created over 200 WOF-themed games in multiple formats that have prominent placement in casinos across North America. IGT’s acquisition of the Wheel of Fortune lottery license has provided a strategic opportunity to further strengthen the Wheel of Fortune brand through convergence into the lottery industry with a focus on game innovation in multiple product channels including instant scratch games, draw games and interactive games. IGT research has confirmed the widespread appeal of the Wheel of Fortune brand with lottery players of all ages – including the highly sought after 18-34 year old age group. Research also shows that both quick-play and extended-play Wheel of Fortune games are appealing, with a Wheel of Fortune crossword game having significant appeal among extended-play players. Research conducted by Wheel of Fortune also confirms that Wheel of Fortune TV fans who watch 3+ times per week also have an affinity for crossword puzzles and play at least twice per week. That is 158 percent more likely than the average adult and far more often than other similar leisure activities, such as board games or playing cards. Fifteen US lotteries will launch a Wheel of Fortune instant scratch game in 2016 and participate in a linked 2nd chance promotion that will send 84 lucky winners to Los Angeles to participate in a lottery winner only, non-broadcast game of Wheel of Fortune. Current sales are showing the power of the brand with Florida Lottery experiencing historical, record breaking sales results with their $5 Wheel of Fortune scratch game smashing the previous record by more than 10 percent. And after six weeks of sales, the Idaho Lottery’s Wheel of Fortune instant scratch game is indexing at 124. Continuous innovation will be the key to sustaining the Wheel of Fortune brand in all formats – the TV game show, casino games and lottery games. Sony has done an outstanding job of keeping the game show relevant and popular with viewers and continues to invest in innovation. Likewise IGT will continue to invest in innovating the Wheel of Fortune games across all product channels to bring customers games that will deliver results. 6 INSIGHTS May/June 2016 The Dawn of a New Era Built on our legacy, our learning, and our leadership, Aurora is the high-reliability, high-performance solution for lotteries the world over.

  • Lottery Privatization: the Equity Potential of Government Lotteries,” in CCA Research Report (Christiansen Capital Advisors LLC, 2001)
    Initial Examination on Reforming the California Lottery Summary The purpose of this examination of the California Lottery is to determine which means of improving lottery performance and revenue generation are available to the California state government and what actions must be taken in order to make these solutions possible. To this end, this report provides a general overview of the lottery’s cost structure and performance over the last several years. The report also directly compares California’s performance against those states which lead the nation in per capita lottery sales and net revenues. Currently, the California Lottery is restricted by mandates that although they secure the percentage of funding for education each year at 34 percent of net revenues, also serve to severely restrict any investments in games or equipment that would boost the actual growth of lottery sales. The lottery is also restricted in terms of the kind of games that can be offered, as well in being able to utilized up-to-date technology. These restrictions prevent the California Lottery from effectively emulating either enacted or proposed changes in other states and countries. Several other states have enacted or are considering changes to their lotteries that should be considered in California as means for improving lottery performance. The most notable examples of these include the establishment of an autonomous quasi-public lottery corporation in Connecticut, increasing lottery sales by raising the percentage of sales money returned to ticket buyers as in Massachusetts and Texas, and the leasing of lottery operations to a private company or consortium as has been done in the United Kingdom and is on the verge of happening in Illinois.
