Oregon Taps Aristocrat, IGT for VLTs

The Oregon Lottery will buy a total of 2,720 video lottery terminals from suppliers Aristocrat Leisure Limited and IGT, following field trials in the Oregon VLT market.

Suppliers Aristocrat Leisure Limited and IGT both scored big orders for video lottery terminals by the Oregon Lottery. According to a report from Todd Eilers of Eilers & Krejcik, the lottery will purchase a total of 2,720 VLTs—1,550 in IGT’s CrystalDual cabinets and 1,170 in Aristocrat’s Helix+—after field trials showed the machines from the two suppliers outperformed existing machines in the market.

According to the report, the lottery will spend $25 million on VLT purchases this year, with Eilers assuming average selling prices of $15,300 to $23,000 per machine.

The purchases should run through June 2021.
