Gambling during the Paris Games. In an interview with Ouest-France this Saturday, the CEO of Française des jeux, Stéphane Pallez, announced the launch of new games in July during the Olympic period.
In detail, a scratch game entitled “Objective Gold” will see the light of day in July. It “will contribute to the popular fervor around Paris 2024”, explains the manager, who adds that “Objective Gold” will also have “its digital version”, without further detailing the content of the game.
At the same time, a “grand lotto” will be organized on July 26, the day of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Fifteen million euros, “at least”, can be won during this special lottery. Then, “we will have seven classic Loto draws during the Games,” adds Stéphane Pallez.
Via the FDJ, it will also be possible to bet during the Games, betting on the disciplines “authorized by the regulatory authority”, explains the manager. “Sports for which there is a jury which awards grades” are therefore excluded.
At the head of the group since 2014, Stéphane Pallez has just been renewed for a third term, and wants to commit to “continuing the transformation of the company, by investing in both digital and the physical network”.
“My goal is for FDJ to offer the French people varied and entertaining games, within a regulated and responsible framework. And I also want to continue diversifying our activities, particularly abroad,” she declares.
