Paperless Lotteries the Next Advancement

Anyone who loves lotteries and is the owner of either a smartphone or a tablet device such as an iPad can increasing take advantage of more advanced and innovative solutions for an improved gaming experience.

For instance, Greece's Intralot has drawn on new technology developed by Near Field Communication (NFC) to give players the ability to partake in interactive lottery games with just a single touch.

Today's technology has been developed to such a point that with just a single touch you can make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices. And it is this very same technological development that has now been adapted to the lotteries and has been aptly named Tap'n'Play.

It has been touted as the next big step towards paperless lotteries.

"I am excited to introduce "Tap'n'Play" as a prime example of what the Universal Gaming Experience means to us at Intralot," said Vali Bouligaraki, Intralot's general director of games and marketing. Tap'n'Play will initially be rolled out as a trial for two lotteries, GameTrails and GameSpot, before its horizons are expanded.

It is foreseen that this solution, Tap'n'Play, will enrich today's existing land-based lotteries through offering a range of interactive games that are currently inaccessible. Plus, it could tap into the younger generation of lottery players who crave greater interactivity and a faster pace.

Developments such as these only demonstrate that the possibilities for online lotteries and mobile lotteries are infinite.
