POLLARD BANKNOTE PARTNERS WITH INSTANT WIN GAMING TO ADD EINSTANT GAMES TO ITS ILOTTERY PLATFORM
In keeping with Pollard Banknote's commitment to delivering solutions with a focus on speed to market, the integration was completed in just a few weeks. This speed was made possible by Catalyst's cloud-native, modular, and API-first architecture, along with the deep knowledge and expertise of the lottery technology teams at Pollard Banknote and IWG. This same flexible design also enabled Catalyst to launch with a U.S. lottery earlier this year just ten months after initial scoping, setting a record for the fastest full iLottery program implementation in U.S. history.
"We're excited for this new partnership, which will allow even more lotteries to benefit from IWG's highly successful game portfolio," said Shannon DeHaven, Vice President, Digital Engagement, Pollard Banknote. "IWG's library of proven, lottery-focused eInstant games make an excellent complement to our own offerings from the Pollard Digital Games Studio. Further, due to InstantRGS' architecture, new product innovations from IWG are easy to deploy—an additional benefit to our Catalyst clients. By working directly together, our teams completed the integration in just a few weeks—avoiding project delays and the complications that many lotteries are currently experiencing when an intermediary aggregation platform is involved. This reflects our shared commitment to modern, flexible technology platforms designed for ease of integration."
"We are thrilled to partner with Pollard Banknote to offer our portfolio of eInstant games to clients of their state-of-the-art Catalyst platform," said Jason Lisiecki, Executive Vice President, Instant Win Gaming. "Our games always generate high player engagement, which in turn creates significant transaction volume. Through our many years of experience, we've found that direct-to-wallet integrations—just like the one enabled by Catalyst—consistently deliver the lowest operational latency, resulting in a much smoother and more responsive player experience. Catalyst's cloud-native, modular, and API-first architecture, combined with the professionalism and technical expertise of the Pollard Banknote team, made the integration process seamless."

@ the Bell: Steady rates, shaky trade
Canada's top stock index tumbled on Wednesday after the Bank of Canada decided to maintain its interest rate at 2.75 per cent for the third straight time. This move suggests that the Canadian economy has been less affected by the ongoing trade tensions with the United States than previously anticipated. The utilities segment provided meagre gains for what was an otherwise broad decline for the TSX. Meanwhile, US markets were as divided as the citizens of the country as investors reviewed corporate earnings and considered the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision. The Fed opted to keep its benchmark rate steady within the 4.25 per cent to 4.5 per cent range, amid growing uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations between the US and China. The Canadian dollar traded for 72.24 cents US compared to 72.57 cents US on Tuesday. US crude futures traded US$1.16 higher at US$70.37 a barrel, and the Brent contract rose US$1.01 to US$73.52 a barrel. The price of gold was down US$53.72 to US$3,273.52. In world markets, the Nikkei was down 19.85 points to ¥40,654.70, the Hang Seng was down 347.52 points to HK$25,176.93, the FTSE was down 0.62of a point to ₤9,136.94, and the DAX was up 44.85 points to €24,262.22.
