our commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth
17. 17
Engaging Players Online
Our players engage online and are increasingly mobile. The Lottery needs to expand and improve its
digital presence to meet current and future customer demands.
E-commerce is the new normand the expectation for self-service via the web are increasing.
18. 18
Mobile Application Objective
Provide digital utility that engages Lottery
consumers in a means and manner they
expect and desire. We embrace digital, it is
the future - Launch, learn and grow digital
capabilities
Strategy
Using a customer-first analytics-driven
approach, we created a mobile application
that meets Oregonian needs/wants and allows
the Lottery to expand digital engagement
Launch with Value
Provide mobile app tools and experiences for
consumers that are so valuable that a player
uses the app every time they play.
Going Mobile – It Starts With The APP
19. 19
Going Mobile – APP Experience
DID I WIN? A CHECK-A-TICKET
EXPERIENCE
The current “Did I Win” experience is outdated
and underwhelming. Our app-based check a
ticket provides the player with several benefits:
Mobile verification of winning (or not) for
Scratch-its, Draw Games, and Keno.
Built-in “excitement” when someone scans
a winning ticket. Think getting your 10,000th
step on your fitness tracker.
Mitigation of buyer’s remorse in the form of
the good things lottery dollars do for their
area of the state displayed via geo-targeting
for a non-winning ticket.
20. 20
Going Mobile – APP Experience
RESPONSIBLE GAMING TOOLS
It is of the utmost importance that any mobile offering
follow the Lottery’s mission to grow our player base in a
responsible, sustainable manner.
RG content and tools are, and will always be, a staple of
the mobile app.
Lottery app users must be 18+. There are several
points where the customer is asked to verify age
An interactive set of RG “tips” is available and allows
you to earn fun badges
A budgeting & timer tool integrated for Video Lottery
players
The Cost of Play calculator explains what regular play
equates to financially over a period of time for players
Check out a Cost to Play calculator on oregonlottery.org
until the app comes out soon!

New Opportunity – Sports Products
What happened:
Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992
(PASPA)
Federal legislation was passed relating to the expansion of sports gambling.
Effectively outlawed sports betting nationwide, excluding a few states.
Oregon was one of four states grandfathered in by PASPA sports
betting laws on the books.
Oregon voluntarily ended Sports Action in 2007.
Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (May 2018)
U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states should have the right to regulate and
tax sports betting, and that it was unconstitutional for the federal
government to ban them from doing so.
Opens the door to all states to offer different approaches to sports betting.
24. 24
New Opportunity – Sports Products
Why would we Look at Sports Betting?
It would provide incremental revenue growth
Help grow our portfolio and player base in a responsible, sustainable manner
Research indicates - An estimated 28 million Americans would be more likely to
wager on sports if sports betting was legal (American Gaming Association - AGA)
Nearly one in five Americans have bet on sports in the past year (AGA)
Americans bet more than $15 billion on the Super Bowl and March Madness – 97
percent of that was bet illegally (AGA)
In the 2017 football season, an estimated $58 billion in illegal bets were placed
on NFL and college games (AGA)
Estimates of illegal U.S. sports betting vary from $107 billion annually (Ernst &
Young) to $150 billion annually (AGA)
25. 25
New Opportunity – Sports Products
What could Sports betting look like in Oregon?
The Oregon State Lottery Commission can offer any game of chance,
including sports betting right now.
There are a number of ways to explore these opportunity:
Sports Betting: Have a catalog featuring fixed-odds sports betting games as seen similar
to Nevada
o Retail Sportsbook - Fixed Odds
• Bets placed printed on paper slips in Lottery retailers.
o Online Sportsbook – Fixed Odds
• Bets placed on electronic play slips through the lottery app.
o Sports Action - Parlay betting that involve the outcome of more than one game at a
time. [what we offered in the past]
• Paper-based wagering on professional sporting events (NFL – expanding to
NBA, MLB, NHL).

What we need to
do it!
Fulfilling our promise to Oregonians means keeping pace with market and technology trends all while maintaining our
commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth
27. 27
The next few slides include language in the new legislative bill:
There has not been a comprehensive review and update of the Oregon Lottery statutes since coming into
existence in 1985. Current statutes do not reflect modern business strategies, organizational, and
administrative needs or best practice.
For Lottery to pursue strategic revenue growth within the current lottery portfolio and to expand our
portfolio into new game platforms, our statutes need to be updated.
Lottery’s legislative concept will:
1. Define and designate our current game portfolio, while enabling Lottery to consider new platforms for
offering games to players utilizing modern gaming technologies
2. Address moving from anonymous play to non-anonymous play
3. Enhance our responsible gambling/problem gaming duties
4. Make technical fixes to align statute with current practice, administrative references, and definitions.
Lottery Modernization Bill – Barriers to our growth
28. 28
Define Video Lottery Game terminals and Video Lottery Games
To pursue strategic revenue growth in responsible manner, Lottery wants to move into the digital world
and engage players on mobile platforms. But to do this a clear, statutory designation needs to be made
between mobile devices and Video Lottery terminals.
Currently, there is no definition of what a Video Lottery Game terminal is, only how they are regulated,
which means that mobile devices could be considered Video Lottery Game terminals. To clear the space
for expansion onto mobile devices and prevent personal and business mobile devices from acting like;
regulated like; or taxed like Video Lottery terminal definition is necessary.
Lottery proposes to:
• Define in statute, what a Video Lottery Game terminal (VLT) is (and subsequently is not), using
definition adopted in our OARs.
• Define in statute, what a Video Lottery Game is (and subsequently is not), using definition adopted in
our OARs.
.
Lottery Modernization Bill – Defining the Digital World
29. 29
Provide players confidence that Lottery will protect and maintain
confidentially of their Personally Identifiable Player Data.
Currently, people purchase and play Lottery games anonymously. Going mobile
means Lottery play and players activity is no longer anonymous. Players will be
asked to voluntarily share personal information with Lottery that will be connected
to their play and play habits, generating Personally Identifiable Player Data.
Players using the APP will have personalized player accounts that will generate
Personally Identifiable Player Data. The Lottery needs to be able to provide players
confidence in how this information is protected and secured by the Lottery.
Lottery proposes to:
• Define Personally Identifiable Player Data, establish the policy for how this
information will be protected and treated as strictly confidential by Lottery.
• Provide authority to the Oregon State Lottery Commission to adapt our
information systems, standards, and procedures to protect and maintain the
confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Player Data.
Lottery Modernization Bill – No longer anonymous
30. 30
Investing in Responsible Gambling through Research
As the Lottery strategically expands its lottery game portfolio and explores new
revenue and business strategies, research will be valuable to assist in identifying
and mitigating risks that the Lottery will confront as it engages new players and on
new platforms.
In the Oregon State Lottery Responsible Gaming Code of Practices Act, the
Commission is directed to research and to inform all areas of responsible and
problem gambling resource awareness efforts. The Lottery is required to provide
adequate funding for research so as to allow for the application of evidence-based
considerations to implementing lottery games and game features to allow for
informed decision-making by lottery players and discourage problem gambling.
Currently, there is a lack of research data available to arm stakeholders with is
necessary to obtain, allocate, and maximize problem gambling resources.
Lottery proposes to:
• Establish funding mechanism that will enable the Lottery to partner with a
research university to support specific Oregon-focused problem gambling
research.

Getting our House in Order
Current statutes do not reflect modern references, technology,
information delivery methods, organizational, and administrative
needs. The Lottery has identified, and may identify additional
changes, that modernize statute while maintaining the original
intent of the law.
A few Lottery proposals:
• Allow for postmarks to be counted for purposes of one-
year deadline for claiming prize.
• Remove outdated reference to telecommunication
infrastructure;
• Change “security, integrity, honesty and fairness” to
“Fairness, Integrity, Security, and Honesty” (FISH);
• Printing tables of odds is not the best way to make this
information available, amend to allow discretion to use
modern means, not just printing; and
• Streamlining references.

In lieu of Q & A
Please submit your questions to Greta Coe so that
the Lottery can review after attending all regional
training sessions to see if there are common
themes/questions asked.
Replies will be sent out to all attendees so that
everyone receives the same language.
Editor's Notes
Thank-you so much Greta and Roxann for having me here today. Again, my name is Krystal Smith, Program manager for Responsible and problem gambling for the Oregon Lottery. It is a great honor to be here today because I understand from Greta and Roxann that you guys are some of the top professionals from the treatment and prevention communities. Hopefully, I can share some information about the lottery that you did not know before as well as the future direction on some of our key initiatives and programs.
Oh, this presentation will be provided as a downloadable link after the presentation, so no need to take copious notes.
I am going to start out this morning by sharing a short video about the Oregon Lottery and then we will take a deep dive into all the content.
But first, our brand – you may be seeing our logo changing on outdoor signs, TV ads, printed materials. That is the first step, but the Lottery brand is more than our logo, a tagline or our products, more than our mission statement. It is why we exist, what we will provide and how we will provide it. Everything we do communicates what our brand is about. Lets take a look at the lottery…
Hopefully, the video has given you a better high level understanding of our retailers and the beneficiaries lottery dollars fund.
Like the video showcases – for the Oregon Lottery it all starts with our mission statement.
The mission has 3 important fundamentals:
Basically everything we do goes back to supporting our beneficiary programs
Oregonians count on us. The Lottery provides funding for education, economic development, state parks and environmental restoration, veterans programs, outdoor school and problem gambling prevention and treatment services (aka our beneficiaries). Lottery bonds fund a host of state projects designed to promote job creation and market development. And thousands of Oregonians enjoy our games and win prizes.
We collaborate. We listen. We work with business partners and retailers who sell our products, We work with our beneficiaries to promote their programs and the good things they do for Oregon. And we partner with the public health community to promote responsible gaming and help and care for problem gamblers.
Fulfilling our promise to Oregonians means keeping pace with market and technology trends all while maintaining our commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth.

Every time people play Lottery games, their dollars pay prizes and help support various state projects and programs. With Lottery dollars, jobs are created, schools are supported, parks are maintained and watersheds are enhanced! Together, We Do Good Things is more than just a slogan; Lottery dollars—more than $1.2 billion every two years—make a difference in every corner of Oregon.
92.8M has been allocated to date
We collaborate. We listen. We work with business partners and retailers who sell our products, We work with our beneficiaries to promote their programs and the good things they do for Oregon. And we partner with the public health community to promote responsible gaming and help and care for problem gamblers.
The Oregon Lottery’s Responsible Gambling Code of Practice guides how we choose games, market and advertise our products, interact with our players and promote responsible gambling.
We’ve embedded the seven practices of the code into every aspect of our business to help minimize the harm that gambling can cause to individuals and communities. We work closely with our partners in the public health community and the Oregon Council on Problem Gambling on proactive measures to prevent problem gambling and promote responsible gambling.
We train our staff, our retailers and their employees.
This is all information that is published annually as part of our Data Impacts Report
Based on our annual social responsibility survey, 73% & 81%
We go above and beyond the 1% designated by the legislation. We provide 3.1 million dollars more to help fund prevention and treatment outreach and resources for the state.
Retailers receive a commission for providing Lottery products, and the Lottery provides the games, lottery terminals, service and marketing support. This creates economic development opportunities for businesses and local and familiar outlets for Lottery products.
This is kind of a busy slide, but it is important at showing the evolution of lottery products and that we need to be innovative to meet market demands based on technology changes in the world and to deliver on our mission….
Technology is always changing and to continue providing the players with lottery as their entertainment choice, we need to expand how we engage with them.
Anyone remember these huge cell phones. Or better yet, the car phone? Wow have we come a long way.
Like in Washington, we will also be upgrading the existing Lottery To Go vending terminals which are dated technology. These new terminals will have better ways of showcasing a stronger age requirement message and monitoring any underage activity.
We are in process of introducing new VLT vendors into the marketplace and testing new VLT models. These don’t do anything different, they are the same technology as we have now . Just new competition using new vendors. If anything, they have better RG features that allow for more messaging to appear on the on the screens.
Progressives – not sure if regional or statewide opportunity to do them in a variety of ways
Video gaming systems – what drive and controls the machines
Different type of Keno – similar to a virtual sport type game plays like keno on a monitor but sports themed and works like a keno numbers game
Here we are going to leverage our current portfolio and look at new ways to engage
Augmented reality – buy ticket at brick and mortar store and go back and scan on phone to play it.
E-scratch are tickets you can scratch on the phone screen with your finger.
Subscriptions sales would be things like draw games such as PB
Play for fun – extending the game play experience on the mobile app.
Fulfilling our promise to Oregonians means keeping pace with market and technology trends all while maintaining our commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth
E-commerce is the new norm and the expectation for self-service via the web is increasing.
Oregonians experience personalized interactions online when they shop, play and communicate via social media.
The Lottery must expand and improve its digital presence to meet current and future customer demands.
Show of hands, how many of yu today have a cell phone with you…..a computer or tablet…..
So, what is this new app all about?
Provide the digital engagement using the app we can reach so many more people with lottery information, but most important reach them quicker with tools and resources if there play isn’t as entertaining as it should be.
Took out…..Players learn what the 2 top prizes remain for a ticket, what Video Lottery games offer a bigger top award than others, and that 24,000 Powerball winning tickets were sold in Oregon at the last drawing.
Keno to go on ,org
Over time the intent is to purchase on the app but to do this we would have to have a player account management and e-commerce. No plans ever to sell VL products on the app.
We have no any set timeline for this. Definitely not in the next year. Need to see how the app works first.
There is a great deal of interest from the legislature on introducing sports product sales again, similar to sports action that we had previously. It would all be regulated and money would be going to the state funded programs.
No plans to do this soon
We don’t need to introduce legislature
Parlay – a single bet that links to two or more individual wagers. If they all lose boo, if 1 or two you win something.
The entire legal sports betting market is never expected to transfer to the state regulated system. There will always be things happening beyond our control. I
It is really high volume low margin form of wagering, so not a lot of money or expected to provide huge revenue to the state.
Fulfilling our promise to Oregonians means keeping pace with market and technology trends all while maintaining our commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth
Still protecting our players identity
Streamlining our old and dated statutes
Again modernization and updating to new platforms and technologies
Oregon Administrative Rules chap. 461 Introduced so a mobile device does not become a VL game terminal or they would have to pay a entertainment tax on it.
Video Lottery: Games conducted through Video Lottery game terminals that are monitored by a central computer system: Games include: video poker games, video line games and any other lottery game designated by the Oregon Lottery Commission as a Video Lottery game.
VLT: Type of video device for the playing of Video Lottery games which is in a console that contains a game platform with a video display and a random number generator, is connected to and monitored by a central system, and accepts cash payments to permit a person to play the Video Lottery games offered on the terminal for the opportunity to win a prize. Video Lottery Game Terminal does not include any device determined by the Oregon State Lottery Commission not to be a Video Lottery game terminal.
Similar to the agreements we all enter in when accepting an app download. The Lottery will do everything in their power to protect player data at all times.
Important when signing up for the app and RG tools a they feel comfortable knowing that everyone doesn’t know that
In this bill, we are looking at creating a fund for responsible gambling research. Currently, the cost is still being discussed.
As I mentioned the code of practice earlier, The Oregon lottery has a commitment to ongoing research
Need to have more modern technology added and to add more sustainable business practices for being a more socially responsible organization.
