State-owned lottery and sports betting operator across 7,000+ retail points
Szerencsejáték Zrt. is Hungary's state-owned national gaming operator, managing lottery products, scratch tickets, and sports betting through one of the country's largest retail networks. The tech stack reflects a hybrid legacy-to-modern shift: SQL Server, Oracle, and Windows coexist with Azure cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and Power BI analytics. Active Power Platform adoption signals a push toward faster internal tooling, while concurrent projects in ERP development and Jira process standardization indicate organizational restructuring around operational efficiency rather than core gaming innovation.
