“Backed by the momentum of launching our new brand, Brightstar Lottery is incredibly excited to reconnect with our North American customers at NASPL 2025 and demonstrate the investments we’ve made with self-service, in-lane and compact terminals, and digital solutions for omnichannel play,” said Renato Ascoli, Brightstar CEO Global Lottery. “With our renewed focus as a pure-play lottery business, Brightstar’s booth will feature future-forward solutions that empower our customers’ growth and emphasize our commitment to player engagement, delivering on our promise to elevate lotteries and inspire players.”

NASPL attendees who explore Brightstar’s booth can experience a variety of new engaging products including:

Two versions of Brightstar’s Digital Menu Board, a modern, sleek way for retailers to showcase in-stock instant tickets at the point of sale, will also be featured.
- Investing in the Future: This special area of Brightstar’s booth is designed to demonstrate innovative concepts and products, and gain customer feedback to help shape the future of lottery. Many of these demonstrations will be focused on how Brightstar is leveraging artificial intelligence to increase efficiency and drive sales.
- Exciting Instants Innovations, Turnkey Promotions and Omnichannel Content: Brightstar will debut new instants innovations including high-resolution imaging to elevate the play experience, proprietary registered holographic features that create added motion and visual impact, Infinity Instants™ scenes for engaging gameplay, and a handful of new playstyles. Visitors can hear more about Brightstar’s turnkey marketing, advertising and media promotions with well-known brands such as iHeart Media and Wheel of Fortune.

On display will be its updated cloud-based platform with enhanced front-end features and expanded player-engagement capabilities.
