IGT announced this week that its subsidiary, IGT Canada Solutions Limited, has signed an agreement with Western Canada Lottery Corporation to supply 720 additional Sierra27 video lottery terminals in 2026.

The agreement marks the second straight year that IGT has been selected through WCLC’s competitive VLT procurement process.

WCLC operates lottery and other gaming activities for six Canadian provinces and territories.

“WCLC selected IGT through a competitive procurement process, and these additional Sierra27 VLTs will support our venue network with hardware and content designed for the Canadian market,” WCLC Vice President, VLT Gaming & Operations Eric Karmark said in a statement. “IGT has been a longstanding supplier to WCLC, and we look forward to continuing our work together.”

IGT’s versatile Sierra27 VLT delivers comfort and serviceability and features two high-definition 27-inch screens, a 13.3-inch player panel with dual bash buttons, and a wireless inductive charger. The Sierra27 VLT is backed by a large library of content and games designed specifically for players in Canada, including Big City 5’s Diamond, Tiki Tiki Tiki Mayhem, and Cash Climb Garden of Hesperides.

“As the leading VLT supplier in Canada, IGT is uniquely positioned to help WCLC enhance venue performance and player experiences with proven products and solutions backed by decades of market experience,” said IGT Vice President of Sales, Canada and Oregon Chad Helm. “This significant agreement with WCLC for 720 additional IGT Sierra27 VLTs reinforces the strength of our outstanding collaboration in providing games that excite and engage players.”
