05:25 PM EDT, 08/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Pollard Banknote ( PBKOF ) , up 1.3% at Thursday close, said it partnered with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) to launch four new eInstant games.

Now available to players on PlayAlberta.ca, these games mark the first developed by the Pollard Digital Games Studio to go live in North America.

The four eInstant games are Royal Court Riches, Sizzling Hot 7s, Bacon Me Crazy, and Lucky Forest. Royal Court Riches, in particular, has proven to be a standout performer in other jurisdictions, achieving first place in tickets sold, total sales, and gross gaming revenue within its first 30 days of release.

These games build on Pollard Banknote's ( PBKOF ) existing relationship with AGLC, which includes the delivery and support of AGLC's online gambling platform, Play Alberta, through its joint venture entity, NeoPollard Interactive (NPi).

"We are thrilled to introduce these proven and exciting eInstant games to the Alberta market," said Vice President, Digital Engagement, Shannon DeHaven.

Gaming proceeds in the province, including PlayAlberta.ca, are directed towards the province's general revenue fund. In 2023-24, Play Alberta generated $235 million in net sales.

The company's shares closed up $0.33 to $25.35 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
