EP334: Can lotteries survive without modernising for a digital-first generation?

At SiGMA South Asia 2025 in Sri Lanka, Adam Fonsica, Co-Founder & COO of Random State, explores how the world’s oldest form of gambling must evolve to remain relevant. In this keynote, Modernising Luck: Bringing the World’s Oldest Gamble Online, Fonsica examines why younger generations are drifting away from traditional lotteries and how digital gaming mechanics, from loot systems and progression to AAA-quality visuals, are reshaping player expectations. Drawing on data, psychology and real-world game design, he explains how lotteries can combine timeless chance with modern engagement to win both players’ time and money.Guest: Adam Fonsica, Co-Founder & COO of Random StateConnect with the iGaming community: https://linktr.ee/sigmaworld
