GTECH, Czech Lottery Extend Deal
The international lottery division of GTECH and Czech lottery operator Sazka have extended their operation and maintenance contract to the end of 2022.
Lottomatica subsidiary GTECH Global Services Corporation announced that it has extended its contract with Czech lottery company Sazka to the end of 2022. Under the contract, GTECH operates and maintains Sazka's online system and terminals.
The new agreement also provides for upgrade of Sazka's communication infrastructure to a new satellite-based IP network.
"We are pleased to continue the strong relationship we have developed with Sazka since 1993," said Jaymin B. Patel, president and CEO of GTECH Global Services Corporation. "This is a testament to the value of our partnership as well as to the success of our cooperation."
"The significance of our cooperation is best documented by figures," added Sazka chairman Aleš Hušák. "Since 1993 the company's sales generated from betting and lottery business have increased by more than three and a half times, from US$121 million to US$443 million. In addition to new betting games and lotteries, we launched a number of non-lottery products and services, where Sazka ranks among top leaders globally, over that period."
