Lottery and Betting
Printer-friendly versionWho should read it? Lottery & sweepstakes operators, bookmakers, etc.
The filling out of paper slips in lottery and betting offices is fast becoming a thing of the past in Europe. With minimal footprints and online booking and payment facilities, kiosks can handle all the day-to-day activities, leaving staff valuable time to serve other customers.
- Lottery ticket kiosks, where customers can select, pay for and print their own tickets without queueing at a manned counter, as well as collect their winnings
- Betting terminals, where users can place bets on all current events and collect their winnings, and can even view the events as they happen
- Information & Prediction terminals, providing detailed information on current events to bet on, including observations of form and recommendations for safe and lucrative bets, as well as providing a source of information for those new to betting.
The fast pace of the lottery & betting markets makes them ideally suited to incorporating self-service. Terminals are able to provide efficient, swift service for existing clients, while making available all the information a new user needs to start betting, thus encouraging new customers into the market.
