Jamaican based regional gaming company, Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) has gone global, spreading its wings to West Africa.

SVL has now established subsidiary in Ghana, Supreme Ventures Ghana Limited, which plans to undertake operations in the West African country, where Gold, cocoa and more recently oil form the cornerstone of the economy and have helped fuel an economic boom.

The decision to expands to Ghana is no surprise considering that only last year SVL hosted a delegation from the National Lottery Authority of Ghana, which is both an operator and the regulator of the National Lottery of Ghana.

The visiting delegation were in Jamaica from September 13 – 18 for a study tour to observe SVL’s operations in Jamaica, monitor best practices in the Jamaican lottery industry and to discuss opportunities for possible collaboration.

Exclusive management and technical services agreement

SVL through its Ghanaian subsidiary has secured in principle an alliance with a gaming operator in that country, Game Park Limited to roll out at least two of its popular games in the first instance. 

Supreme Ventures Ghana Limited is about to ink the deal with Games Park Limited for the exclusive provision of management and technical services to the company, which will be the promoter of its Pick 1 (Cash Pot) and Pick 4 lottery games in Ghana.

When contacted, SVL Executive Chairman, Gary Peart hailed his company’s foray in Ghana and by extension, Africa.

According to him, “I’m Looking forward to signing the deal. SVL is now a burgeoning global business. We hope confirm the deal and spread the Jamaican gaming experience.”

When he hosted the National Lottery Authority of Ghana last year, Peart expressed delight with the discussions and welcomed the interest from the Ghanaian lottery authority. During the five-day visit, the Ghanaian delegation also met with representatives of the government and the Betting Gaming and Lotteries Commission (BGLC).
