International Game Technology announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions, has signed a two-year contract extension with the Minnesota Lottery to continue providing a comprehensive range of instant-ticket services, from printing to analytics. The instant-ticket contract, originally signed in 2010, now extends through June 30, 2022. IGT has been the Minnesota Lottery’s technology and draw-based lottery systems provider since 2002.
Earlier this year, the lottery launched IGT’s “Full of $500s” at the $5 price point and Power $10 at the $10 price point. These games are currently the lottery’s best-selling $5 and $10 games.
“Every time someone plays a Minnesota Lottery game, it generates funding to support Minnesota’s environment and state services, so it is imperative that we deliver the fun games and play styles that our players are looking for,” said Wes Harms, Minnesota Lottery director of operations. “IGT will continue to help us provide the quality scratch games and licensed property games that our players want for the next two years.”
“IGT has taken a multi-faceted approach to providing the Minnesota Lottery with successful instant tickets over the last 10 years,” said Jay Gendron, IGT chief operating officer, lottery. “We take pride in working hand-in-hand with the lottery to design entertaining games based on extensive research, game planning, and strategic marketing.”
