Starting March 31st, Idaho Lottery players will be able to go to a place where everybody knows their game and enjoy playing the lottery with their favorite characters from the hit TV show, Cheers™. Thanks to collaboration between the Idaho Lottery, Alchemy3, and INTRALOT Inc., a subsidiary of the INTRALOT group, the Cheers™ branded TAPP  IT!™ interactive touch screen game offers players a fun and exciting way to win prizes instantly.  This is the first time a brand has been applied to the TAPP IT!™ technology. 

Available at select age-controlled Idaho Lottery retailers, Cheers™ can be played via the PLAY CENTER self-service machine. Each game costs $2 and gives players six chances to win up to $10,000. Bonus Rounds offer additional chances to win prizes and free plays.

“We are thrilled to offer lottery players a gaming experience like never before,” said Jeffrey Schweig, Alchemy3’s President. “The digital Cheers™ game incorporates actual audio/visual clips from the show allowing us to bring the brand to life and attract a new group of players.”

“After a soft launch of TAPP IT!™ or ‘TAP Scratch’ as it is being marketed to Idaho players, in Idaho last July, this game with its iconic brand is a great way to introduce the product line to new players,” said John Pittman, Vice President, Marketing of INTRALOT USA. “Cheers™ not only offers great prizes and odds, but the entertainment proposition embodies the essence of our TAPP IT!™ library, which now offers over 100 quick-play interactive games. We look forward to the game launch in Idaho as well as offering the game to our other partner lotteries.”
