Friday nights in Norway have just gotten more interesting with the debut of Norsk Tippin’s latest lottery, Nabolaget (“The Neighbours”). The game’s first draw premiered Friday 13 Feb, as part of an exciting, weekly entertainment programme. The show follows celebrity Alex Rosén as he travels to winning neighbourhoods, interviews locals, and spotlights towns and villages across the country. Rosén visits weekly winners in their neighbourhoods, highlighting local stories and communities across Norway.The game’s main winner receives a whopping 1,000,000 NOK, while those closest to the main winner receive secondary prizes. The real winners, however, will be the humanitarian and social organizations—from Norwegian People’s Aid to seeing-eye dog providers—that stand to receive 100% of the proceeds. Based on Genera’s Nabor™ platform, Nabolaget is as a simple 1-2-3: 1. The main winner gets 1M NOK. Secondary prizes go to the closest participating neighbor. 2. Players participate with their registered address, with a weekly 10-ticket purchase maximum. 3. The draw is broadcasted on a TV2 program every Friday at 7:30 PM Our products Nabor offers a combination of many winnings and an entertaining player experience.

LEARN MORE ABOUT NAAPURIT >> or GO TO THE NAAPURIT-SITE AT VEIKKAUS >> NORSK TIPPING The Norwegian version of Nabor is all about the winners, the places where they live and the stories they tell. It all started with the mission to deliver 300 MNOK annually to good causes without cannibalizing on existing lottery revenues. Through a public tender, Norsk Tipping decided that Genera’s geolottery game format Nabor was the solution that could bring new customers and new revenues. The game is now ready for roll-out. Nabolaget, ”The Neighbourhood”, will be available in all digital channels, via retailers and in-stores. Since all gaming activities in Norway need to be registered using a verified online gaming account or an individual player card, identifying the player and adding geographical data to the tickets in shops is just a barcode scan away.

Maria Sandell (MS): Genera was established in 2009 and is a fast-growing provider of innovative lottery formats and games. Since the beginning we have decided to focus exclusively on nationally, regulated operators. We develop games that are unique in their combination of simplicity, high entertainment value, broad distribution, and attractive winnings. Our lotteries are designed for the latest technology to reach both existing and new target groups via internet, social media, mobile, web-TV and traditional TV, as well as through traditional lottery retailers. With innovation, we really focus on products that have mass market appeal and that can be sold and distributed across platforms. We work hard to find new products and services that actually have the potential of a lotto type of game but with a more modern distribution and that appeal to a younger audience. eGR: What is Nabor and Genera’s social lottery formats? MS: Nabor is a lottery where you participate with your home address. One winner is drawn and secondary prizes are distributed, based on the geographical proximity to the main winner drawn in a raffle draw. This is what creates the effect that neighbours win together. As the game’s tag line puts it, ”You win when your neighbours win”. In every draw you get a geographical spread and concentration of prizes to people living in a particular community. Nabor is really about the people, the places and the stories they tell. This brings a social factor to the game and creates a game where you can win frequently, win together and you can share the joy of winning in the community. For our first customer, the state lottery of Norway, Norsk Tipping, it all started with the mission for Nabor to deliver 300 MNOK annually to good causes without cannibalising on existing lottery revenues. The game is, as of May 2014, live in Finland with state lottery Veikkaus. Expectations are high for Nabor to be one of the biggest games in Finland with lottery revenues of more than €100m. Winning together is more fun. Adding a social element to the lottery is what Veikkaus believes can attract new players. After all, who doesn’t want to share a big win in the neighbourhood? eGR: Do you think social lottery formats can attract new players to the industry? MS: We believe so, absolutely. We believe that Nabor is one of the game formats that can help lotteries attract new players. Out of the total population of the country, very few of the younger generation actually buy in to the lottery format and so by offering a modern, entertaining and social game we believe that we can help create new revenues for lotteries on a global scale. Furthermore, it is very important to us that we support different platforms as we are providing mass-market products that appeal to a big audience and a wide variety of players. eGR: Are there plans to expand Genera’s reach beyond the Scandinavian market? MS: Absolutely. Genera is a B2B provider and we are currently live in Scandinavian countries where our games this year will generate more than €100m in GGR and we are looking at expanding our B2B lottery offerings into Europe and other parts of the world in the future. The game format that we have at the moment is innovative and can be launched in any market. eGR: What other products do you offer? MS: When we develop games we focus on simplicity. For all our games, winning and sharing is the key. In addition to Nabor, we have two other social lottery products, Favor and Viktor and an offering on VLTs. In Norway, we have launched four titles that now represent more than 65% of total sales in the country. Again showing that there is room for innovation by offering simple products to the mass market. ♦ Fast 50 nomination by Deloitte September 2014 We at Genera Networks are excited about the fast 50 technology nomination by Deloitte ♦ Veikkaus launches geolottery Naapurit Lottery players in Finland have big reasons to celebrate as the Finnish State Lottery Veikkaus launches a daily geolottery under the local name Naapurit (”The Neigbours”) on May 5th 2014. ”Naapurit is a moderngame that features a more social form of lottery. We believe in the idea that winning together is more fun”, says Veikkaus CEO Juha Koponen. ”Veikkaus strives to be a leader in the industry and we are excited to be among the first one’s to launch a geolottery format.” The innovative twist in Naapurit is that players participate using their home address. Winners are drawn in a raffle and secondary prizes are distributed among ticket holders who live the closest to the main winner. As the game’s tagline puts it: ”You win if your neighbour wins.” The Naapurit lottery will be accompanied by a prime-time TV show on two TV-channels and tickets will be sold via mobile and Internet as well as at lottery retailers. One entry is valid for all draws during a calendar month and players will have the option of subscribing to the game. The gameis expected to reach an annual turnover over 100 million Euros. The Nabor geolottery is a patent pending game format created and licensed by the Swedish provider Genera Networks. ”Nabor is the first format that makes lotteries relevant to younger players by creating other drivers than the possibility of a big win”, says Maria Sandell, CEO of Genera Networks. ”It is a game about winners, the places they live in and the stories they tell.” VEIKKAUS is a Finnish lottery for Finnish players. It offers high-quality gaming entertainment reliably and responsibly, producing each day over EUR 1,1 million of lottery revenue for the Finnish society. Veikkaus contributes the bulk of its proceeds to the Finnish State, which distributes it further to Finnish arts, sports, science and youth work.

The Norwegian VLT-market had a net revenue of 65 million Euro in 2013. The games are provided to the monopoly operator Norsk Tipping in their Multix terminals. – In two years of operation we have proved that the new kid on the block can outperform companies like Aristocrat, Spielo and Scientific Games/WMS, says Maria Sandell, CEO of Genera Networks. In 2014 we project that our VLT-games will generate a net revenue in excess of 45 million Euro for Norsk Tipping. Following the success in the VLT market, Norsk Tipping will launch Genera lottery format Nabor in the second quarter of 2014. The Nabor format, where neighbours win with neighbours, will be launched with distribution in all channels and a prime time TV-show. Genera has signed one more contract for the Nabor format with a leading European lottery for launch later in 2014. – Our goal for this year is to multiply the GGR of our games by five from 2013, states Maria Sandell. I can think of no other game provider that has started from zero and in three years reached a GGR in excess of 100 million Euro.
