THE LOTTERY Hrvatska Lutrija is the national lottery of Croatia
and was established in 1951 as the Directorate for Croatia which was part of the Yugoslav lottery at the time. Games such as the lottery
and pools originated from this time. It became independent in 1973 when the
lottery was set up as a separate organisation although it remained part of the business community of the Yugoslav lotteries. Many games were introduced during this era. In 1993, two years after Croatia gained independence, the lottery was renamed as Hrvatska Lutrija whilst sports books, casino, keno and bingo TV were added to the range of games.

It was behind Fortuna and Super Sport bookmakers who launched their online product in time for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Te initial line up was for loto games 7/39, 6/45, TV bingo, keno and sports betting. Today
