International Game Technology, Plc. announced two lottery system and supply contract renewals, one with Loto-Québec in Canada and the other with the national lottery of Slovakia.
IGT announced that its subsidiary IGT Canada Solutions ULC has signed a three-year extension to continue providing its Intelligen video lottery central system to Loto-Québec.
Under the terms of the agreement, IGT will provide Loto-Québec with lottery instant ticket vending machines, VLTs, casino slots, interactive games, and the Canadian Bingo and Poker Network.
The company will also provide hotline services for the Intelligen central system, advanced business intelligence, distributed game management, and proactive diagnostic modules.
The contract extension runs through September 2, 2021.
The Intelligen platform is built on more than 20 years of proven central system experience, and offers stable, secure and command control capabilities uniquely tailored to VLT gaming environments. It operates with a wide range of VLTs using multiple protocols, including the Game to System (G2S) open standard protocol, and has advanced communication abilities.
“Loto-Québec uses the Intelligen solution to monitor nearly 10,000 VLTs in the province, all of which are provided by IGT,” said Jay Gendron, IGT chief operating officer, lottery. “The Intelligen central management system ensures that the lottery has full control of their VLT network, (allowing them) to optimize operations and drive growth for their business.”
In a separate release, IGT announced that it has renewed its contract with Slovakia’s government-owned TIPOS lottery to provide the Aurora platform, retailer terminals and services.
The new platform should roll out early next year with the Open Retail software terminal system and 3,400 Retailer Pro terminals and Printer Pro printers.
