MDI signed agreement for Zorro license

“Zorro has been loved by generations for nearly half a century, and the name has become synonymous with fun, daring and victory,” said Steve Saferin, President, Properties Group and Chief Creative Officer for Scientific Games. “It’s an excellent brand for instant games, and has enormous cross-cultural appeal.”

"Scratch and reveal is a great product translation for the Zorro brand, known worldwide for carving his iconic Z to leave his mark," said John Gertz, CEO of Zorro Productions.  "Already very popular in the gaming sector, we are thrilled to work with MDI to bring the Zorro trademark to lottery scratchers."

Zorro was first introduced to the public by pulp writer Johnston McCulley in 1919. Since then, the character has starred in a multitude of books and television shows, as well as more than 40 films produced in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. Zorro-based video games, mobile games, slot machines and a poker machine also have been created.

With his famous cape, mask, hat and sword, Zorro is an instantly recognizable hero, embraced by people of all ages throughout much of the world. These iconic images, along with the trademark letter “Z,” are available to lotteries for the creation of eye-catching ticket art.
