History
The news archive on Helio Gaming's site traces its lottery focus back to 2017, when Lotto Hero, a mobile lottery game with hourly jackpots that the company later calls its flagship, was launched at ICE under the Bit8 name. Between 2018 and 2020 the site reports lottery integrations with BetConstruct's Vbet, Singular, Game Interaction, WeAreCasino and Hammer Lottery, an African expansion through a Lotto Joto deal, and a 2020 Spinalott collaboration with Spinmatic. It was named Lottery Supplier of the Year 2019 at the Starlet awards. Richard Mifsud is quoted as CEO in earlier items; in November 2019 the company announced Keith Galea, previously COO, as CEO.
The current site describes the company as active for more than a decade and groups its products into GameEngine (lottery, scratch and crash games such as Quick Draw 4, Lotto Rush, The Motley Frog and Canyon Cashout), GameHub (multi-supplier aggregation through one API), PlayerCore (player and transaction management) and PlayPoint (retail lottery with printed tickets). It also offers betting on EuroMillions, Powerball and Mega Millions and custom branded games. Helio Gaming Limited (Malta, C84419) holds MGA licence MGA/B2B/719/2019.
