Brightstar to deliver Pan Am-themed digital and retail lottery games

Pan Am was originally founded in 1927 and is still instantly recognizable across the globe.

Ahead of its 100th anniversary, the brand is a cultural icon that hints to the golden age of international air travel.

Now, through the alliance with Pan Am, Brightstar Lottery will reach lottery players across the globe.

The two inked a five-year exclusive licensing agreement under which Brightstar Lottery will develop Pan Am-themed omnichannel lottery games.

Such games include not only engaging and innovative draw-based games, but instant tickets and thrilling iLottery titles.

Leveraging Pan Am’s decades of experience in luxury trip planning and travel, Brightstar will also deliver once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities for second-chance promotion winners and lottery players.

The deal with Pan Am comes after Brightstar was recognized as the World’s Top Disability Inclusive Business earlier this year in the 2026 Disability Index.

New games and unique experiences await lottery players

Matthew Whalen, Brightstar Lottery’s Senior Vice President, Global Instant Ticket Services, spoke with excitement about the new alliance with Pan Am, Casino Guru News learned from a press release.

"Pan Am is a globally recognized brand that has inspired generations to see the world, and Brightstar is excited to translate that enduring legacy into compelling experiences for lottery players to enjoy," he said.

"Through this partnership, players will have access to engaging lottery offerings and unique second-chance promotions inspired by the Pan Am brand, including customized travel packages, VIP access, and white-glove journeys tailored to a range of destinations and budgets," Whalen said in conclusion.

Craig Carter, Pan Am Global Holdings’ CEO, was similarly excited.

He acknowledged Pan Am’s instant recognition in travel and said it is exciting to introduce the famous brand into the lottery vertical with the help of Brightstar Lottery.

"Through this partnership, players will have new opportunities to engage with the Pan Am brand through games and promotions inspired by our legacy of connecting people, places, and cultures around the world," Carter said in conclusion.

In July, Brightstar Lottery agreed to continue its successful contract with Washington's Lottery.
