Intralot’s U.S. subsidiary has signed a contract with the British Columbia Lottery Commission to provide a lottery central system with its platform Lotos X.
Lotos X includes Intralot’s lottery terminals with camera-based technology along with additional software products, and ongoing maintenance services. The contract is for an initial 5-year term that can be extended up to another 6 years, the company said in a press release.
According to the release, BCLC completed a public procurement process for new lottery terminals and software in 2017, and entered into a contract with Novomatic Lottery Solutions. However, in October 2018, BCLC and NLS agreed to use the contract assignment provision to assign the contract to Intralot, which was already working on the project as a provider of terminal hardware.
In January 2019, BCLC conducted a subsequent public procurement process for Gaming Engine Services with Intralot as the successful bidder.
The contract for the implementation of the new lottery terminals and systems, and Gaming Engine Services, is $18.4 million and is included in BCLC’s capital budget through to fiscal year 2021/22.
“We are pleased to have been awarded by BCLC with a new contract to deliver our next-generation lottery solutions which will drive players’ engagement and transform their playing experience,” said Intralot’s Group Deputy CEO, Nikos Nikolakopoulos in the release. “This agreement represents a significant milestone for Intralot entering the Canadian market, offering our industry-leading product portfolio to enable long-term innovation and constant growth, ultimately generating more revenue for the benefit of the Province of British Columbia community.”
