“We are excited about the future growth potential of virtual sports lottery games,” Pennsylvania Lottery spokesman Jeffrey Johnson told the newspaper. “The lottery’s mission is to grow sales and profits for older Pennsylvanians and, in order to grow sales responsibly, it is important for the lottery to continue to try new games that may appeal to new players.”
“Like any new things,” said Leap Gaming CEO Yariv Lissauer, “any new type of product — especially in an industry that has experienced a kind of rebirth — we need some patience to really measure and evaluate success.”
