State Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg Offers Virtual Slot Machine Games
Stuttgart, Deutschland (April 8, 2024) — The Staatliche Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg has expanded its product portfolio on the Internet and now also offers virtual slot machine games under the independent brand “erwin”. This makes the company the first German state lottery company in this segment. Anyone interested in playing can use the online offer nationwide at www.lotto-bw.de/erwin. The basis for entering this still new market segment is the permission of the Joint Gaming Authority of the States (GGL). The requirements for obtaining a permit were created by the 2021 State Treaty on Gambling.
“We believe it is important that a state provider also offers those interested in gambling a legal and reliable offer in this segment,” emphasizes Georg Wacker, Managing Director of Staatliche Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg. With the product expansion, the company is responding to the changing needs of its customers.
There are currently around 200 different games available at www.lotto-bw.de/erwin. The varied offering ranges from “book of games” to “fruit games” and is intended to be continually expanded. To this end, Staatliche Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg works with various international game studios.

The company takes its responsibility towards its customers very seriously, and the protection of young people and players is particularly important. The games are viewed and selected extremely carefully according to different criteria. In addition, every customer who wants to use the new online gaming offering must first register and identify themselves online. With the support of the Gambling Research Center at the University of Hohenheim, an automated system for detecting problematic gambling behavior was also developed.
