International Game Technology Plc. announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has signed a seven-year contract extension with the Georgia Lottery Corporation to provide new lottery products and services through September 11, 2025.
“IGT and the Georgia Lottery have had a long and successful partnership for more than 20 years, and this contract extension is a testament to the mutual cooperation and commitment of the two organizations to increase lottery sales and continue generating record profits for education through the deployment of industry-leading solutions,” said Jay Gendron, IGT senior vice president, WLA North America Lottery.
Under the contract extension, IGT will provide the Georgia Lottery with several components of IGT’s Aurora platform, including Aurora Transaction Engine, Aurora Open Retail, Aurora Retailer Wizard, Aurora Navigator, and Aurora Performance Intel. Aurora Open Retail, a new retail solution software architecture, will enable the Georgia Lottery to support multiple types of retail solution devices in an efficient manner, improving time to market.
In addition, the Georgia Lottery will receive Aurora Navigator back-office applications for lottery personnel, who will now have the ability to customize the look and feel of the interface to meet their exact needs, help them better manage their business, and enhance productivity.
The Georgia Lottery will also receive IGT’s Aurora Performance Intel solution, a comprehensive business intelligence and analytics tool that provides insights across all sales channels. IGT’s Aurora Retailer Wizard solution will provide a secure website for Georgia Lottery retailers to more effectively manage their businesses, interact with the lottery, and drive results.
IGT will replace a significant portion of the Georgia Lottery’s existing lottery terminal base with its Altura Flex lottery terminals, which feature a smaller footprint along with a large high-resolution display for ease of retailer use and the widely-deployed high-speed AccuTherm Ultra printer. IGT will also provide 6,150 Ticket-Scan Plus self-service ticket checkers and an equal amount of the company’s latest Aurora MultiMedia digital signage solution will also be deployed.
