Our virtual sports game, “Lucky Racing”, has continued to be operated successfully in the province of Hunan, in advance of a planned rollout to more provinces across Mainland China.

Since the commencement of the replacement cycle for sports lottery terminals in 2013, our lottery terminal supply division (GOT), with its excellent product capability and professional services, has succeeded in winning multiple sports lottery terminal tenders for various provinces and municipality in China (including Jilin, Hebei, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangdong, Guizhou, Anhui, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Beijing and Shanxi), further reinforcing its leading position in the Chinese sports lottery terminal market. We are already supplying GOT terminals outside of China (e.g. South Africa) and continue to explore growing this international business in future via a network of recently established international distributors following technical trials in over 10 countries to date;

In light of the very high levels of internet and smart phone penetration in China, we intend to participate in these exciting arenas via the provision of internet/mobile systems and games, and as a distributor, subject to government approval; and
