The Quality Group Lottery Solutions GmbH delivers new Lottery Management Platform for Eesti Loto

News

October 2019 – PRESS RELEASE – The Quality Group Lottery Solutions GmbH (TQG-LS). As part of a public tender process, the Estonia state lottery – Eesti Loto – has opted for the lottery management platform “TQG-LotterySuite” from the German lottery expert TQG Lottery Solutions GmbH. Eesti Loto commissions TQG to implement the TQG-LotterySuite, which will be further expanded as part of the introduction of Eesti Loto. A 5-year contract with extension options is agreed.

The lottery market in Estonia is firmly in the hands of the state lottery company Eesti Loto (www.eestiloto.ee).

Secure online gaming ensured

A decisive factor in the decision in favor of TQG-LS was that the standard TQG-LotterySuite already offers important functions for the secure and successful operation of the Internet sales channel, which is so important for Eesti Loto. The player management, for example, has extensive marketing support. Games Management is an automatic component of the TQG Lottery Suite. This allows both existing and new games to be easily configured.

“As a result of the procurement, we get the expected flexibility of a modular and completely scalable platform to provide our players with convenient operation and new products. The player management system together with the web portal is the first and central component in the process of a comprehensive upgrade of the lottery information system”.

The system offers all relevant functions of a lottery management system. Customer-specific adaptations can be easily integrated. The TQG-LotterySuite is hardware independent. Back-office applications of third parties are supported via standard interfaces.

TLS-TRANSACTION-ENGINE

Responsive Design

Game-Configurator

Data Migration

TQG has a unique migration method which allows "soft" migration without risk for lotteries. No matter whether the original data is available in file or table form and no matter whether player data is available multiple times in separate data pools. By using a sophisticated system with appropriate tools and methods, we ensure that all data is migrated in the desired form and at the desired time and that player data are merged.

quality management

At TQG, quality management is a continuous process that begins even before development. When defining requirements, we ensure that these are formulated with appropriate acceptance criteria in such a way that all special cases are also covered and tested. Not only positive but also negative, Performance and usability tests are part of the scope of quality assurance. We are not called The QUALITY Group for nothing.

Database independent

Today it is taken for granted that large amounts of data are stored in databases. But TQG has been going one step further for some time now. Because of the constantly changing licensing models, TQG offers the PostgreSQL database, which is established worldwide and already in use by many corporations. This makes it possible to store the data "free of charge".

Modular Software

The TLS system is physically and logically modular. Each individual component can be operated in a cluster. Standard interfaces ensure interchangeability of components.

The software architecture allows an agile software development in which new requirements can be delivered promptly.
