Pollard Banknote's Miami Vice Game Launched in British Columbia and Kansas

Pollard Banknote Limited Partnership ("Pollard Banknote") is pleased to announce that the British Columbia Lottery Corporation ("BCLC") and the Kansas Lottery have both recently introduced Miami Vice-themed instant tickets into their respective markets. Available only from Pollard Banknote, thanks to its licensing arrangement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group, this nostalgic yet still-popular brand presents lotteries in the U.S. and Canada with excellent opportunities to wow their customers by capitalizing on the classic, trend-setting 1980s television series starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.

"Miami Vice remains one of the most popular and influential television shows of its era," said Sina Aiello, Director, Licensed Products. "The clothes, the cars, the characters, and Miami's climate and culture all coalesced into a show that captivated audiences during its small-screen reign from 1984 to 1990. Add to that the various positive Miami Vice associations lingering in the memories of multitudes of fans, and it's easy to see why the brand is so adaptable to the lottery industry."

The $2 Miami Vice tickets on sale within these jurisdictions offer players the prospect of winning big cash and exciting prizes. The BCLC's contribution boasts a top prize of $25,000, features two separate chances to win via the popular "Match 3" format, and gives players the chance to win Miami Vice prize packs by scratching a third "Bonus" play window. It also comes complete with a trivia component highlighting some of the show's landmark achievements. The Kansas ticket, a stylized nighttime shot of the two stars set against the Miami skyline, has a "Key Number Match" game format with a top prize of $10,000, and also has a bonus feature where players need only reveal a dollar value and they will win the amount shown.

Despite the differing interpretations, these two tickets instantly recall the show's suave, slick, and occasionally surreal elements that left an indelible impression on television audiences everywhere. Even today, an extensive licensing program continues to weave the Miami Vice brand into North America's social and cultural fabric, as evidenced by widely available apparel, gaming, and wireless products based on the hit series. Pollard Banknote's clients stand to reap the rewards of leveraging this firmly entrenched brand and its escalating equity.

"Entertainment-based licensed properties with a retro-chic flavor continue to be a major attraction at the retail level," said Aiello. "Given the enduring popularity of Miami Vice, these tickets were designed to invite an immediate and visceral response from even the most casual lottery player. We're confident the ticket sales are going to be bolstered by the major motion picture Miami Vice, appealing to a new generation of fans."

Pollard Banknote offers a turnkey solution for licensed games, including ticket design and manufacturing, prize structure consultation, merchandise selection and fulfillment, publicity and promotional opportunities, and second-chance draw process management (including all customer service, Internet marketing, and post-game analysis).

About Miami Vice

One of the most visually stunning and stylized T.V. shows of the 1980s, Miami Vice not only rocked our pre-conceived notions of just how far a police drama could go, but changed the face of television forever.

Set against the post-modern pastel-coloured cityscape of Miami's sun-baked beach houses, sultry nightlife and pop-culture decadence, this ground-breaking series followed James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, two of Miami's finest, as they cruised the seedy streets of the Florida underworld with an arresting attitude all their own. Fueled by exotic locales and a host of art deco-inspired architecture, Miami Vice defined a decade with its trend-setting tropical-chic fashion styles and a heart-thumping soundtrack as hot as the Miami sun.
