Scientific Games, the world’s largest creator, producer and manager of lottery games, will continue bringing innovative instant game entertainment to players in the state of Washington. Building upon a relationship that drove significant growth over the past 10 years, Washington’s Lottery selected Scientific Games as its primary scratch game provider with a new six-year contract that may be renewed for up to four additional years.

Since 2014, as the primary instant game partner, Scientific Games has collaborated with Washington’s Lottery instant product management teams to drive 60% growth in gross gaming revenue. The growth contributed more funding for programs supporting early childhood education, financial aid for college studencts, vocational excellence programs, economic development, responsible gaming and more in the Northwest state with a population of more than 8 million.

“Our work with Scientific Games has made a difference. We’ve been able to offer our players entertaining scratch game experiences while responsibly driving more funding for the good cause programs that enrich our communities,” said Gaylene Gray, Instant Product Manager for Washington’s Lottery. “We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Scientific Games as into the next phase of innovation and growth for our products.”

Some of the the more successful games currently enjoyed by Washington’s Lottery players are LOTERIA branded scratch games at the $2, $5, $10 and $20 pricepoints featuring colorful, original Don Clemente images and traditional Latin American bingo-style play. To date, LOTERIA games have generated more than $460.4 million revenue for the Lottery.

Scientific Games has served as the primary scratch game provider for Washington’s Lottery since the Lottery’s inception more than 40 years ago.

“It is a pleasure to continue our collaboration with Washington’s Lottery on its very successful product portfolio as primary instant game provider. The Lottery’s team has always embraced innovation and is willing to try new ideas that entertain players and drive more funding for vital programs in the state,” said John Schulz, President of Americas and Global Instant Products for Scientific Games.

With products that generate more than 70% of global instant game retail sales, Scientific Games is the primary provider to nine of the Top 10 performing instant game lotteries in the world (La Fleur’s 2024 World Lottery Almanac).

Last month, Korea’s top streaming platform AfreecaTV announced the launch of its new global live streaming service, — SOOP — and its beta release happened just a couple of weeks ago. Streams Charts is happy to announce that the service’s statistics are now available on our website. Data can be acquired through our subscriptions and via API.

AfreecaTV’s SOOP Live Streaming Statistics

SOOP has just launched, yet thousands of users regularly visit the platform. Currently, the most popular category on SOOP is Valorant. The platform hosts esports broadcasts, including the VCT Champions Tour 2024: Pacific Stage 2, and has also attracted several top streamers.

While the service was launched by a South Korean company, the predominant audience on the platform currently hails from Thailand. This is unsurprising, as SOOP already hosts streams from several prominent Thai streamers who have made a name for themselves on Twitch, including Edwin_live, SuperBusS, and others.

“For the past year and a half, most discussions about streaming platforms have revolved around Twitch, Kick, and YouTube Gaming as they provide their services worldwide. AfreecaTV has long been popular in South Korea, and the launch of Naver’s CHZZK has only encouraged them to develop in the region.

Launching SOOP as a global platform worldwide is a strategic decision by the AfreecaTV team to expand further into international markets. We couldn’t pass it by, and we are already seeing a big jump in the Thai segment on the platform. It’s worth noting that the platform has only recently launched in beta, but the statistics we’re already seeing provide a clear picture of SOOP’s ambitions.”

SOOP streams are not limited to gaming content alone. For instance, the platform actively covers the KBO League, South Korea’s highest-level baseball league. Streams of this tournament have already attracted hundreds of viewers.
