Apostou announces expansion plan to implement 80 physical Video Lottery (VLT) stores in Paraná

The company Apostou announced an expansion plan to implement 80 physical Video Lottery (VLT) stores in Paraná by the end of 2025. This project aims to establish a model of safe and regulated lottery games, making Paraná the first Brazilian state to operate such a number of licensed VLTs.

The new units will be distributed throughout Curitiba, the metropolitan region and strategic cities such as Londrina, Maringá, Ponta Grossa, Cascavel and Foz do Iguaçu. More than 5,000 VLT machines will be installed, all licensed, audited and inspected, and operated exclusively by Apostou.

These machines use advanced technology, in accordance with Federal Decree No. 9,327/2018 and have international GLI-14 certification, guaranteeing the integrity of the systems.

The operation is supervised by Lottopar, ensuring transparency and legal security. Part of the revenue generated will be allocated to areas such as health, education and public safety.

This move reinforces Apostou's commitment to responsible gaming and the socioeconomic development of the state.

This plan includes the installation of 80 physical video lottery stores, known as "Raspinha", which offer instant lottery games in digital format.

These stores aim to provide bettors with a more accessible and modern gaming experience, using video lottery terminals with predetermined and unalterable results to ensure transparency and security.

Before going into operation, each terminal is inspected and receives an authorization seal and a QR Code, which can be accessed by the bettor's cell phone camera, allowing verification of whether the equipment is authorized by Lottopar and the location where it can operate.

In addition, the games installed in each terminal undergo rigorous testing by independent international laboratories accredited by Lottopar, ensuring safe, fair and fraud-free gaming.

With operations already established in Rio de Janeiro and Paraná, the company plans to expand its activities to other Brazilian states, consolidating itself as a national reference in the sports betting and instant lottery sector.

The experience gained in accreditation in these states will provide valuable knowledge for the success of future operations in new markets.
