Scientific Games Corporation announced that it has won a new 10-year contract from the Oklahoma Lottery to supply lottery central gaming system services and its Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) program, which manages the Oklahoma Scratchers instant-ticket game.
Under the new contract, which may be extended by the lottery for five additional years, Scientific Games will also provide a combination of its suite of products, including the SCiQ instant game retail ecosystem, PlayCentral self-service retail terminals, Infuse business intelligence software, and gem |Intelligence retailer software.
In the past three years, Oklahoma Scratchers retail sales have grown by almost 200 percent, contributing an incremental $50 million in returns to the state for education and setting a record for instant game retail sales growth in the U.S.
“We have accomplished great things during our 15-year collaboration with Scientific Games, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to responsibly grow the Oklahoma Lottery’s profits to benefit teachers and students in our state,” said Jay Finks, executive director of Oklahoma Lottery.
Oklahoma recently surpassed $1 billion in contributions to the Oklahoma Education Lottery Trust Fund maximizing revenue for public education.
“Scientific Games congratulates the Oklahoma Lottery on achieving $1 billion in education funding, and we are honored to support their impressive growth returning more proceeds to these critical programs in the future,” said Pat McHugh, executive vice president and Lottery Group chief executive for Scientific Games. “We also congratulate the Oklahoma Lottery on achieving the highest growth for instant game sales in the U.S. over the past three years and look forward to another successful 10 years of collaboration.”
Scientific Games supplies the central gaming system and services across the lottery’s nearly 2,000 retailers, supported by a cross-functional team of product and operational experts to support all aspects of the lottery’s mission.
The Oklahoma Lottery has partnered with Scientific Games on all of its technology and games since its inception in 2005.
