UWin!, GTECH's wholly owned Internet wagering subsidiary, just signed a five-year agreement with Dansk Tipstjeneste A/S, the operator of the National Lottery of Denmark, to provide UWin!'s proprietary Internet lottery gaming system and project management.
Access to the Denmark Lottery will be through an extranet. UWin!'s GateKeeperTM system will also keep out players from unauthorized nations.
Players will be able to choose from interactive and multi-player games, as well as purchase lottery games online. Other features include games for fun, chat rooms and news.
"UWin! effectively transforms the relationship between government-authorized lotteries and the Internet," said Clifton C. Dutton, UWin!'s president and vice president of GTECH Corporation. "UWin! enables government-authorized lotteries, such as Dansk Tipstjeneste A/S, to leverage the advantages of the Internet without compromising on critical issues such as security, legality and control."
Earlier this year, Uwin! signed a similar agreement with An Post National Lottery Company for the Irish National Lottery.
