LOTTERY AND GAMING

Fraudulent transactions are the Lottery Director’s worst nightmare. Consumer confidence is central to strong sales and any perceptions of indiscretions in the lottery operation can destroy years of effort in building a strong customer base. Lotteries and gaming regulators need an independent mechanism for providing visibility and assurance that their operation is playing by the rules. Many lottery jurisdictions require that an independent control system be in place to meet consumer assurance requirements. Spectra’s Premier Integrity is a recognized – and often required – component in a regulatory compliance framework.

The Spectra Integrity ICS is a completely automated, totally independent internal control system that ensures the integrity of the lottery games by logging and validating all transactions against the game rules, and by detecting and flagging any transactions that violate such rules in real-time. The Integrity application software resides solely on the ICS computer hardware and provides independent sales figures and winning number verification for all online and instant lottery games. The Integrity ICS is fully capable of processing transaction data in both real-time and from off-line media produced by the online gaming computer.

Spectra’s Integrity group, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is a leader in the Internal Control Systems (ICS) segment of the gaming software security industry with international and U.S. lotteries and sports betting systems. Spectra’s Integrity group operations are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.
