La Française des Jeux launches a new draw-based game, AMIGO

The goal was to launch a funny and friendly game, enabling the player to live a new gaming experience. AMIGO is a number game with a draw every 5 minutes. The new game will be progressively implemented in the whole FDJ retail network in order to gradually replace Rapido game.

Amigo Live: a POS entertainment channel

Amigo Live is a channel locally anchored and designed for bars. The AMIGO game program will be broadcast on a digital screen through “Amigo Live”, an entertainment channel. Between each draw there will be regularly renewed information: short animations such as quiz games, information about the POS (opening hours, today’s menu) and local information (weather, cultural days out, etc), humorous programs and practical advice.

AMIGO: how to play?

The player selects 1 number out of 5 in each of the 9 columns and 1 “jackpot number” out of 5. The minimum stake per playslip is 2 euros and the maximum is 50 euros. The player wins if he has at least 3 correct numbers and his winnings are multiplied by a drawn multiplier (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10).

The player can win a minimum jackpot of 250,000 euros. If the jackpot is not won, it rolls over until the following draw. It grows by 3% of stakes at each draw. The jackpot is systematically won when it reaches 1 million euros and is shared among the second prize level winners if the winning combination in the 1st level has not been found.
