blueberryWe are noticing how the more traditional side of the gambling industry is quickly taking advantage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. We saw requests for new casino licenses in Philadelphia, free drinks at Pennsylvania Casinos and the success of Interactive slots in Las Vegas.

Now combine the two of the most influential innovations of modern time: Internet e Mobile Phones. What do you get? A lucrative multi billion dollar market opportunity.

What are you talking about? We are talking about WagerPhone. Through the aggregation of leading technologies, WP creates a unique and robust convergence of multimedia positioned to provide Lotteries with extensible channels of sales and distribution. Yes they will be extending the reach from traditional / limited methods of play to fill the gap left by internet gambling.

Gamblers will have the ability to purchase lottery tickets, play scratch cards, enjoy casino games and even place a sports wager from the palm of their hand making regulated play more convenient and accessible than ever before.

Bottom line is that lotteries will sell more tickets, reach new demographics and decrease their operational costs while people will have the ability to play any game, any time, anywhere.
