La Banca de Quinielas Extends Scientific Games Partnership
Uruguay – June 2, 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com Uruguay’s La Banca de Quinielas has renewed one of the longest-standing lottery partnerships in Latin America. The organisation responsible for managing lottery and gaming operations in Uruguay has signed a new four-year exclusive agreement with Scientific Games to continue developing its popular “Ra$padita” instant scratch game portfolio.
Overview
The renewal strengthens a relationship that has lasted for more than two decades and helped position Uruguay as one of South America’s strongest-performing instant lottery markets. According to Scientific Games, La Banca de Quinielas has become the region’s top-performing instant lottery operator through continuous innovation and responsible growth.
The new agreement keeps Scientific Games as the exclusive provider of the Ra$padita scratch-card category.
Four More Years of Exclusivity
The agreement extends the exclusive partnership for another four years, allowing both organisations to continue expanding the instant games segment throughout Uruguay.
Ra$padita products are distributed through a nationwide network including supermarkets, traditional retailers and small local shops.
The deal highlights Uruguay’s strategic importance within Scientific Games’ broader Latin American expansion plans.
Micromotion Technology Drives Innovation
One of the most notable developments involves the introduction of Micromotion technology.
The enhancement creates the illusion of movement on reflective foil surfaces, adding a premium visual experience for players and increasing product differentiation within the instant lottery category.
Uruguay has become one of the first lottery markets in Latin America to launch products featuring this technology.
Social Contribution and Responsible Gaming
La Banca de Quinielas continues playing a major social role within Uruguay.
Founded in the 1930s, the organisation contributes revenue to social programmes, charitable causes and public health initiatives. It also operates under World Lottery Association responsible gaming standards.
Recently, La Banca signed a cooperation agreement with Fundación Manantiales to strengthen responsible gaming awareness, prevention and treatment initiatives.
Scientific Games Expands Regional Footprint
The Uruguay renewal follows several other Scientific Games initiatives across Latin America during 2026.
The company continues expanding partnerships with regulated lotteries while strengthening its position as one of the world’s largest lottery technology and instant game providers.
Scientific Games currently serves approximately 150 lotteries across 50 countries worldwide.
Future Outlook
The new agreement provides a foundation for continued innovation within the Ra$padita portfolio.
Technology upgrades, responsible gaming programmes and new entertainment formats are expected to remain key priorities throughout the next phase of the partnership.
For Uruguay, the extension represents operational continuity and long-term funding support for public-interest initiatives. For Scientific Games, it reinforces one of the company’s most established relationships in Latin America.
