“It is our true privilege to have acquired what is said to be the most modern lottery system in the world and the services of the talent that created it.

There is a perfect strategic fit of both companies and the experienced team of Next Generation Lotteries has a convincing concept for further development of NLS. Moreover, it was important to us to pay attention to the existing jobs and that Austria will remain the company´s headquarter.“
NGL is keeping the existing NLS locations in Austria (HQ), Serbia, Iceland, Tunisia and Spain in addition to NLG’s own offices in Norway and Germany.
While the company’s first priority is to support NLS’ customers and provide them with best-of-breed products and solutions required for their long-term success, NGL will put emphasis on the business development activity.
