Gambling technology provider Scientific Games Corporation has launched a new sports betting product for Hungary’s state-owned lottery and betting operator.

On Tuesday, Sci-Games announced that it had successfully launched an online sports betting product for Hungary’s Szerencsejáték Zrt, the government-owned monopoly sports betting and lottery operator. Sci-Games has been working with Szerencsejáték since 1997 (through a legacy company) but is now the sole provider of Szerencsejáték’s gaming technology.

The omni-channel sports platform offers Hungarian punters the opportunity to wager via both desktop and mobile digital products, in addition to powering the monopoly’s nearly 5k retail lottery terminals. The monopoly’s CIO David Csillag said the launch “creates a seamless gaming experience for our players.”

Of course, Hungarian punters have to take Csillag’s word that Szerencsejáték’s offering is the bee’s knees, given that the government has routinely fought efforts by internationally licensed online gambling operators to acquire local licenses, despite this stance having been declared unlawful by the European Union’s top court.
