TORONTO, March 27, 2015 /CNW/ -- Bump 50:50, a division of Sportech Racing and Digital, announced that they have been selected by Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League team, the Quebec Remparts, to provide the software and ancillary services for an electronic 50/50 raffle program to benefit the Quebec Remparts Education Fund.

Dan Tanenbaum, President of Bump 50:50, stated, "This marks the second Quebec customer deployment for Sportech's Bump 50:50 since new province regulations permitting the raffles were passed earlier this year.  We have already achieved impressive results with the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation raffle, generating jackpots that average CN$52K per game.  We fully expect our program to perform similarly well for the fans of the Quebec Remparts, one of the Canadian Hockey League's most popular teams."
