Scientific Games Corporation went live with the Turkey National Lottery’s new instant ticket retail and digital gaming systems and point-of-sale terminals across more than 5,000 retailers. That number should grow to 10,000 later this year.
The project, which began a year ago, also brings Scientific Games’ retail and digital instant scratch games to Turkish players for the first time through the 10-year concession awarded by the Turkey Wealth Fund to Sisal Şans, a joint venture between Turkish Şans Dijital and Italian SISAL S.p.A.
The Turkish lottery system received the advanced instant ticket gaming system, 10,000 WAVE retailer terminals, and its Open Gaming System platform for launching first and third-party digital scratch game content. Sisal and Şans also provided a mobile app to 800 instant game street vendors. New instant games from Scientific Games, including “Gold,” “Lucky Mountain” and “12 Months Luck,” got a warm reception, with a top prize winner on the third day.
“We are thrilled to continue our success in Turkey with back-to-back, high-profile projects, both with significant growth objectives focused on developing retail and digital engagement,” said Pat McHugh, lottery group chief executive for Scientific Games.
Currently the largest lottery technology provider in Europe and the fastest growing in the U.S., Scientific Games provides games, technology and services to more than 150 lotteries in 50 countries, and sports betting solutions to 24 lotteries and numerous private operators.
