Loterj has rescheduled Public Hearing nº 001/2022 to April 26, at 2 pm, which will discuss the implementation of new lottery modalities within the state of Rio de Janeiro. As previously informed by GMB, Loterj “let those who may be interested know that it will hold a Public Hearing, in order to guide the procedures in the development of the exploitation of the Instant Lottery and Prognostic Lottery modalities to carry out the operational activities inherent to the exploitation of the games of these modalities, in real time online and through betting terminals, within the scope of the State of Rio de Janeiro.”
Loterj's objective is to listen and guarantee “the right, to the sector and possible interested parties, to broad access and to all relevant information,” according to the terms of the administrative process prepared by the body.
This demonstrates Loterj's intention to resume the bidding process for the implementation of new lottery modalities in the State. In early February, the company revoked public tender 001/2021, which provided for the contracting of a company to provide services for the creation of lottery products in the state. This bidding had been suspended since July 2021 due to lawsuits filed in the Court of Auditors of the State of Rio de Janeiro by the consortium formed by IGT and Scientific Games.
Currently, Loterj has a contract in force with MCE and the public hearing will be to deal with a new bid by the company focused on instant lottery and numerical prediction lottery.
The Public Hearing will take place at 2 pm on April 26, 2022 at Loterj's headquarters, at Rua Sete de Setembro, 170 – Centro – Rio de Janeiro/RJ.
