LONACI ramps up digital gaming with new virtual games designed to thrill different types of players and give back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.- LONACI<\/strong>, the national lottery operator in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, has made a bold move to electrify the country’s digital gaming scene. It has officially launched four new virtual games, unveiled in the region of Koumassi this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new additions can be accessed via LONACI’s online platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixed odds betting and virtual racing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest titles focus on fixed-odds betting<\/strong>, offering wagers on numbers, colours, or thrilling combinations of both. LONACI has also entered the virtual racetrack with animated greyhound races<\/strong>, giving punters a fast-paced alternative to traditional lottery draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diarra Cheik Oumar<\/strong>, LONACI’s marketing director, was enthusiastic about the game release, emphasising the operator’s ongoing mission to meet the diverse entertainment preferences of Ivorian players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the introduction of the games, LONACI aims to give tailored experiences for every category of player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How winnings are calculated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The operator said the winnings are calculated based on the player’s stake and odds, delivering a punch of suspense with every play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond the excitement of personal wins, there’s a bigger game at play, the betterment of society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONACI’s impact stretches beyond screens and scratch cards. Through the LONACI Foundation<\/strong>, a portion of lottery revenue directly supports vital social initiatives across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oumar explained that by participating in the lottery, players indirectly contribute to social work initiatives that benefit society at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollout of these games is just the latest in LONACI’s growing portfolio. From scratch cards and casino tickets to sports betting and number-based games, the lottery’s expansive catalogue ensures every type of player finds their niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With innovation at its core and community at its heart, LONACI’s latest move signals a dynamic new chapter for gaming in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, one that promises thrills, wins and a positive social footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n
