Ionoco Partners with Smartplay

19 August 2008

Ionoco, a graphics and control system provider for broadcast, lottery and gaming, has announced a partnership with Smartplay International, a developer and manufacturer of lottery drawing equipment.

The deal will harness Ionoco’s lottery draw solution and Smartplay’s lottery draw machine and create a new spin on the traditional TV studio approach of lottery drawings. Live high-definition images intertwined with 3-D graphics, real-time number animations will broadcast through ionoco’s hardware system, ionocore.

“To complete our Lottery Draw Solution offering we were keen to find an established, trusted partner to supply the draw machines, said David Walton, founder and chairman of ionoco, in a prepared statement. “With over 15 years of experience, Smartplay was the natural choice for us.”
