FDJ aims digital transformation to fuel its developmentReading Time: 2 minutes

 

FDJ Group announced €15.8 bn in player stakes in 2018. FDJ distributed €10.7 bn to players, a return rate of nearly 68%, an increase close to 1 point over 2017.

Stéphane Pallez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FDJ Group said “The continued growth in player stakes reflects the good execution of our FDJ 2020 strategy around areas such as innovation and digital, enhancing the appeal of our games and distribution channels. 2018 has been characterised by numerous successes, notably Mission Patrimoine games, illustrating FDJ’s redistribution model. These results underpin our ambition to anticipate changes in the gaming and entertainment sector to increase the Group’s leadership with richer and innovative gaming experiences”.

 The FDJ 2020 strategic plan aims at accelerating the Group’s digital transformation to fuel its development. In 2018, the group got benefited from increase in digitalisation of all games. This success confirms our strategic goal of reaching 20% by 2020. This digital growth was driven by online gaming as well as electronic player stakes at points of sale.

ParionsSport sports betting posted strong gains in player stakes. FDJ is one of the Top 10 sports betting operators worldwide. Player stakes recorded during the World cup reached €333 m, an increase of +75% over the 2014 event, mostly attributable to the French team’s performance. The overall trend remained strong, with +8% growth in non-World Cup player stakes.

ParionsSport also signed major four-year partnerships with four leading French football clubs (Olympique de Marseille, Olympique Lyonnais, AS Monaco, and FC Nantes), and launched the “Parions Club” challenge with each of them, giving the top punters in each club a VIP treatment in stadiums or at points of sale, in addition to their winnings.

Player stakes in lottery, instant lottery and draw-based games, grew 1.1% to €12,770 m. Player stakes on instant lottery games (scratch-card games in point of sale and digital) continued to grow, +3.2% to €7694 m.

Digitalisation drives growth in all lottery games, whether instant lottery or draw-based games. On-line lottery games were up +12% thanks to the steady increase in new players, with close to 1.9 million players at the end of 2018, and very frequent marketing events in the online gaming portfolio, with a launch, a relaunch, or a modification every week.

In 2018, FDJ stopped charging rent for point of sale equipment and started paying commission on promotional and free coupons. This year, a new commission structure has been introduced, with different rates across the various product lines and price ranges. In this context, net commissions earned by FDJ retailers were €785 m in 2018, up 5.7% on 2017.

After internalising its sales force and setting up its own logistics, FDJ has completed its business transformation and has direct control of its network.

The Group has continued to make substantial investments in points of sale, specifically in technology and equipment.

Descend into the dark with Divina Commedia I Nove Cerchi

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Play’n GO invites players to traverse a realm shaped by sin and consequence in Divina Commedia I Nove Cerchi, a slot rooted in Dante Alighieri’s legendary Divine Comedy.

The game opens in shadow. Dante stands at the edge of the inferno, blocked by monstrous figures – embodiments of human vice. But salvation appears in the form of Virgil, a poet from antiquity, sent to lead him through the Nine Circles of Hell. This slot doesn’t just reference a classic; it captures its essence. Players follow Dante deeper into the abyss, through torment and trial, with each spin echoing a step through divine judgement.

The narrative structure drives the game. Lucifer watches from above, Souls flicker across the reels, and Lanterns illuminate the path below. As Dante descends, so too do players – not aimlessly, but with a guide, a goal, and a chance to witness redemption emerge from ruin.

Visually, the slot is an infernal tapestry. From scorched gates to flickering flames and horned demons, every frame is steeped in lore. Rather than lean on familiar mechanics, the game’s features serve the story – Souls that evolve, Lanterns that unlock progress, and a climactic Hold & Win moment that pits players against the Prince of Darkness himself.

Those who’ve explored mythic worlds in titles like House of Doom or Gates of Troy will recognise the depth of storytelling here – though Divina Commedia I Nove Cerchi carves its own path through the fire.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “We’ve taken one of literature’s most iconic texts and given it new life on the reels. This is a narrative-first experience where every symbol, scene and feature plays into the descent.”

Divina Commedia I Nove Cerchi offers more than gameplay – it offers a reckoning.
