The High Court of England and Wales has decided against a legal claim by International Game Technology (IGT) regarding the upcoming National Lottery licence transition.
IGT and outgoing National Lottery operator Camelot UK both lodged complaints against the UK Gambling Commission’s (UKGC) decision to issue the fourth National Lottery licence to Allwyn in September 2021.
Both claims were dropped in September 2022, but IGT mounted a fresh legal challenge against the UKGC’s decision in January, claiming damages of up to £600m due to being a long-term supplier of lottery solutions to Camelot.
In the case of Camelot, the company dropped its case back in September 2022 as mentioned above, and was subsequently acquired by Czech-founded pan-European operator Allwyn.
