Alabama Solutions Partners with La Banca to Modernize Uruguay’s Digital Lottery and Gaming Experience
Eduardo Mello, CTO and Co-Founder of Alabama Solutions, will take part in a business and technology mission to Boston organized by CUTI
The 18-month project involved redesigning La Banca’s digital games and developing the technology behind its web and mobile platforms.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay – November 4, 2026 – Alabama Solutions, a Uruguay-based software engineering company, has completed an 18-month engagement with La Banca, contributing to the modernization of its digital lottery and gaming platforms across web, iOS and Android.
The project covered several of La Banca’s gaming products, including lottery games, digital scratch cards and Keno. Alabama worked on both the player-facing applications and the technology supporting them, from backend integrations and authentication to internal management systems.
A central part of the engagement was redesigning the games themselves. Each product has its own rules and mechanics, but players should be able to move between them without having to learn a completely different interface. Alabama’s design and engineering teams worked to simplify interactions, improve navigation and create a more consistent experience across devices.
Behind the scenes, the work involved integrating the new applications with La Banca’s existing core systems, updating its Keycloak-based authentication infrastructure and developing tools to support day-to-day operations.
The technology stack included Angular for the web platform, Ionic and Capacitor for iOS and Android, and Quarkus for backend services, alongside Google Cloud infrastructure.
“Projects like this are interesting because the complexity isn’t necessarily where people see it,” said Eduardo Mello, Co-Founder and CTO of Alabama Solutions. “You might be redesigning a game that takes a few seconds to play, but behind that interaction there are integrations, authentication, business rules and operational systems that all need to work together.”
Over the course of the engagement, Alabama worked across product design, frontend and backend development, quality assurance and delivery, helping La Banca evolve its digital channels while continuing to work with its existing technology ecosystem.
The project is also representative of Alabama’s work with established organizations that need to modernize their platforms without starting from scratch.
“There’s a lot of value in making existing technology work better,” added Mello. “In this case, we weren’t building an isolated application. We were working across several parts of a platform that supports different products, channels and operational needs.”
