Hypercom is revolutionizing POS standards for the gaming market by providing effective solutions with customizable, easy-to-operate terminals that serve the function of larger machines with more expensive maintenance.

With customized networks installed for the Taiwan Lottery, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, the Tipp24 lottery in Germany and network support for the Moscow Lottery, Hypercom created a new lottery platform that has made playing easier and more accessible.

Throughout the world, lotteries have become more and more popular. While the sale of lottery tickets seems simple on the surface, the transaction is quite complex. Gaming terminals are different from those used in normal transaction processing. These devices often use an uncommon communications protocol, such as X.42, to communicate with their host applications. There are very few transaction network products that can support the special protocols of the gaming terminals, so lottery providers are seeking new ways to translate their information to communicate with IP hosts.

Lottery networks require:

• Fast response times
• Security
• Cost effectiveness
• Network service availability

Hypercom provides network solutions for lotteries throughout the world. With our network access controllers' unique ability to perform a true translation of a lottery terminal's native protocol into IP, combining fast response times with low-cost IP connections is possible.

Hypercom terminals are extremely player-friendly with their informative touch-screen, graphics-capable interface. Along with high security, high reliability and ease of use, they deliver a perfect front-end solution for gaming operators. The versatility of our terminals allows them to replace larger standard lottery terminals and because they also run on traditional payment applications, every lottery sale now contributes directly to the retailer’s bottom line.
