Pennsylvania Lottery and IWG Launch New “EZ eInstants” Category

Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a supplier of eInstant games to NASPL and WLA-member lotteries, congratulates the Pennsylvania Lottery for being the first in the U.S. to introduce eFastPlay, a new eInstants category provided by IWG. Branded as “EZ eInstants” in Pennsylvania, this new category aims to attract players who prefer a more straightforward instant play experience.

The Pennsylvania Lottery is debuting the EZ category with three initial games: Prospector’s Gold Rush, Firework Fortune Frenzy, and Treasure Tomb, with additional titles planned for release in the coming months.

EZ eInstants, like all IWG games, are hosted on the company’s InstantRGS (remote game server), requiring no development support from the iLottery platform provider for implementation. To enhance the appeal of this new category, IWG has integrated a linked jackpot available across all EZ games, powered by IWG’s InstantJackpots technology.

The introduction of EZ eInstants complements the existing range of standard eInstants popular among Pennsylvania Lottery players, offering additional play styles in the Keystone State.

Drew Svitko, Executive Director at Pennsylvania Lottery, said: “We’re very excited for our new EZ eInstant category to go live. These games, provided by IWG, will be a great addition to our existing portfolio, offering up new experiences that cast a wider net of game play appeal, and in turn, create incremental revenues for older Pennsylvanians. We have several EZ eInstant games in our future release plans, and we cannot wait to see how players respond to this new category.”

Rhydian Fisher, CEO at IWG, said: “Kudos to the team at Pennsylvania Lottery for launching the first range of EZ eInstants. This new category launch is very exciting and frankly, has not happened too many times in the iLottery industry. As iLottery programs mature, we feel it is critical as a strategic content supplier to offer a variety of game play experiences. These EZ eInstants will cater to a specific group of Lottery players, providing the Pennsylvania Lottery with an opportunity to engage with new players for their iLottery program.”
