10-year contract to replace and operate lottery system and provision of additional services
International Game Technology PLC (IGT), through its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has been awarded the lottery system and other services contract with the South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL).
Under the terms of the agreement, IGT will provide a new draw-based central system, new lottery terminals, a back-up, multifaceted communications network, and ongoing services to the SCEL for a period of 10 years commencing May 13, 2018.
“To support the SCEL’s long-term objectives, IGT will provide customized, high-performance back-office systems, heighten retailer satisfaction, and responsibly deliver sustained net proceeds – all cultivated through a collaborative relationship that puts the SCEL’s needs first,” Jay Gendron, IGT COO of Lottery, said.
The process of finalising a build-out of IGT’s primary data center located in Columbia, South Carolina, is under way – from which IGT will provide agreed services to the SCEL.
