International Game Technology’s global lottery business will begin operating as Brightstar Lottery, effective immediately, it announced Tuesday.
Upon completion of the sale of IGT’s gaming and digital business (IGT Gaming) to Voyager Parent, owned by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Brightstar will become a pure play lottery business. The deal is expected to complete as early as 1 July.
“We have a nearly 50-year history of reliability, innovation, and leadership in lottery, a bedrock from which we are launching Brightstar with a future-forward mindset of helping lottery customers around the world succeed in an environment of digital adoption, shifting player expectations, and an increasing variety of gaming choices,” said Brightstar Chief Executive Vince Sadusky.
