Brener Group Invests in Sorteo Games

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sorteo Games, Inc., a leading provider of electronic lottery systems and services, is pleased to announce that it has received a material investment from Carolwood Games LLC (“Carolwood”), an affiliate of Brener Group.

“There are two primary reasons why we invested in Sorteo”

The Brener Group is a private investment firm based in California that has investments in a variety of sectors, including communications, media, entertainment, high-technology, financial and consumer-focused businesses.
