A game with a long history brings to Guatemala a safe and accessible entertainment vehicle that benefits players and affiliated businesses.

Guatemala, May 15, 2025. Escoge 2 arrives in Guatemala to establish itself as a leader in responsible and accessible entertainment. With a solid track record of over 15 years internationally, operating the popular Bolido game in Belize, and pioneering the creation and operation of the first electronic lottery system in that country.

Driven by the vision of being the preferred national operator for Guatemalans, the company offers a local, legal and safe version of the Bolido game, giving the opportunity to generate extra income for both its customers and associated businesses in the traditional channel through a commission on their monthly sales.

Choose 2 Opera Bolido operates under a strong business ethic and values ​​of transparency, innovation, and responsibility. Its business operations offer immense transparency, starting with the fact that all its points of sale are public, allowing anyone to access information and purchase tickets. The company is backed by the Ministry of the Interior, ensuring that it always complies with all legal requirements.

How do you play?

Bolido, operated by Escoge 2, is a fairly simple game. Customers go to a nearby point of sale and choose any number they want between 00 and 99. Bets on each chosen number start at one quetzal. The system generates a printed ticket that serves as proof of purchase.

The drawings are held daily, Monday through Saturday, at 7:59 PM, broadcast on TV Azteca or via Facebook Live on the Escoge 2 page. If you are one of the winners, for every quetzal wagered, you can win up to seventy times your purchase. Prizes are awarded in cash in person at the point of sale upon presentation of the ticket and are subject to a 13% withholding tax and stamp duty.

"We aim to create cultural and social meeting points through responsible gaming. The brand differentiates itself in the market by forging strategic alliances with key partners, building trust with the end customer. We are constantly innovating, striving not only to evolve the product itself but also to drive the industry towards digitalization and change ," said Marcela Soriano, Marketing and Business Development Director of Lotería Escoge 2.

Expansion and accessibility are key pillars for the company. Currently, they offer kiosk and store options, strategically located in well-known shopping centers; they also have points of sale available in other parts of the country.

Escoge 2 is implementing a significant commercial plan to expand its Bolido sales and redemption points. Currently, it has a strong presence in Guatemala City and in the other departments, grouped by region. Specific plans include expanding its presence in modern sales channels in Izabal, Zacapa, Chiquimula, and El Progreso starting in May; Petén, Alta Verapaz, and Baja Verapaz starting in July; and Jalapa, Jutiapa, and Santa Rosa starting in October. In addition to traditional channels such as neighborhood stores and mobile phone shops, the company is working with internationally and nationally recognized chains in modern retail. Visa and Mastercard are collaborating with the company to enable digital sales channels in the coming months to facilitate the purchase and redemption of Bolido tickets for its customers.

Escoge 2 is always focused on giving back to the local community. Not only does it offer the end customer the opportunity to have fun and generate extra income responsibly, but it also offers a commission on monthly Bolido sales to affiliated retailers in the traditional retail channel. When you play Bolido with Escoge 2, everyone wins: both the buyer and the authorized retailer. It's a win-win situation for the community promoting responsible gaming.
