The MLC website, www.mslotteryhome.com, premiers features a fun, new look. “We have a website visually appealing and easy for our players to use,” said Shaheen. “The product you see today is the result of a great deal of research and plenty of hard work from our team.”
Shaheen also stressed the value of social media in the company’s branding strategies.
