As part of this agreement, IGT will deploy 175 new cashless GameTouch 28 self-service vending machines, expanding the Lottery’s retailer base. The company will also support the Lottery’s launch of IGT’s proprietary Cash Pop draw game that offers flexibility for operators and players with its easy-to-play mechanics.

“The Missouri Lottery has trusted IGT and its industry-leading innovations to help responsibly grow our sales and fund public education in the state for more than 30 years,” said May Scheve Reardon, Missouri Lottery Executive Director. “Including Cash Pop in our game portfolio is the latest example of how IGT has continually guided us through the evolving lottery industry. This new game allows our players to personalize their experiences unlike any other on the market. Additionally, expanding our retailer base with IGT’s GameTouch 28 vending machines will provide more convenience to our players.”

“IGT applauds the Missouri Lottery for its continued forward-looking approach to ensure its players have access to the most entertaining lottery products and games,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery. “IGT’s cashless GameTouch vending machines and Cash Pop game are designed for the next generation of players.”

IGT has served as the primary lottery technology supplier to the Missouri Lottery since 1991. In addition to self-service lottery vending machines and Cash Pop, IGT provides the Lottery with its central system, retail terminals and equipment, instant tickets and field services.

It’s not just Missouri. IGT central systems process approximately 75 percent of U.S. lottery sales.
