The National Lottery of Malta is embracing new technology with the implementation of Novovision, a cashless solution provided by Novomatic.

As the exclusive concessionaire of the national lottery in the Republic of Malta, National Lottery operates a retail network comprising 240 licensed lottery shops.

Now, with the deployment of 56 Novovision cash terminals, the lottery's customers will be able to experience cashless processes and payout options for winning tickets.

Novovision encompasses a range of modular functionalities aimed at enhancing business operations and user convenience. The system includes a single wallet solution for slots play and sports betting, supported by biometric fingerprint recognition for authentication.

Franco de Gabriele, CCO of National Lottery, commented: “The implementation of the Novovision product across our retail network is part of an innovative strategy that the Group has been pursuing over the past years.

“Our intent was to provide a customised solution for our retail customers via a single wallet across a diversified product portfolio. The Novovision solution has proven to be an ideal solution for our environment and has been very well received by our customers.

“The product has enabled us to implement a process that is built on delivering efficiencies and enhancing our safety measures across the retail network. The customisation of the product to our needs has been one of the most important elements of this project.”

Werner Kearns, Sales Manager at Novomatic Biometric Solutions, added: “Our solution for the National Lottery of Malta is a prime example of the high degree of customisation that Novovision delivers – with a unique product that facilitates slots, lotteries and sports betting payments from a single cash terminal while having a single wallet that caters for different products with the use of our Novovision wallet solution.”
