Lotto Baden-Württemberg: Roulette and Blackjack soon part of the offer?
In the race for market shares in the gambling industry, more and more movement comes into play. It has long been no longer a secret that state lottery providers want to get involved in the online market for gambling. As the Badische Zeitung reported during the week, State Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg (Lotto BW) is to expand its game offering around the online casino games BlackJack, Have announced roulette and baccarat. An application for admission was made. The company does not want to leave the online market to private providers without a fight. Already in mid-October, Lotto Hessen had more and more dealt with online casino games and has had a collaboration with Scientific Games.
Application made
Georg Wacker, managing director of Lotto BW, confirmed that an application for admission for online machine games was made. However, for the inclusion of roulette and blackjack, a amendment to the state gambling law law is necessary. Number of licenses is based on the concessions that exist for the terrestrial games in the state. In contrast, concessions can be awarded indefinitely for virtual slot machines and poker. Classic games such as roulette or blackjack are subject to state law. Lotto BW does not expect problems because the Council of Ministers was already ed in December. Wacker expects a decision in spring. The game platform could start promptly after this decision.
No free ticket for private providers
Lotto BW makes no secret of the fact that the now liberalized market should not be left to private providers. The expansion of Lotto BW’s offer should become more attractive for customers. As a result, the provider also wants to win younger sections of the population. The new Gaming State Treaty should also make it possible to proceed against the black market. The joint gambling authority of the federal states in Halle (Saxony-Anhalt) is responsible for compliance with the regulations, which was founded especially on the basis of the new contract.
For Wacker, it goes without saying that the player protection has top priority. Identity and credit tests as well as game and operational limits should be part of the fixed components. The probabilities of winning should be made visible in the games. “The player has a maximum of transparency. If a customer plays with us, he can rely on the information that is right, ”emphasizes Wacker. However, Wacker expects that the lottery products will continue to make up the main part of the business. In 2020, the operations at Lotto BW were 1.08 billion euros. In 2021, they were just below the previous year with 1.073 billion.
