IGT Global Solutions Corporation, a subsidiary of International Game Technology, has won a lottery- management contract from the Connecticut Lottery Corporation following a competitive procurement. The contract includes an implementation period to install a new central system, which is expected to go live in April 2023. Once the system is operational, the contract will run for 10 years through April 2033, with an additional five years of extension options.
IGT will install its Aurora lottery-management system, a suite of flexible solutions designed to manage, transform, and further grow the Connecticut Lottery’s business. The platform will provide intuitive applications, tools, and reporting capabilities that will handle all of the Lottery’s transaction processing, game management, and back-office operations.
“IGT has a reputation as a quality lottery system provider and for delivering exceptional player and retailer experiences,” said Greg Smith, Connecticut Lottery Corporation President & CEO.
“IGT’s success in implementing central systems is unrivaled, having completed 60 on-time, full-system conversions in the last 13 years, including nine conversions from competitor systems. In serving the Connecticut Lottery, IGT will leverage its decades of industry leadership to help drive the Lottery’s growth and offer engaging experiences for its players,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Lottery.
In addition to the Aurora platform, IGT will distribute 3,000 Retailer Pro and Retailer Compact lottery terminals, along with 200 GameTouch28 self-service vending machines to lottery retailers.
IGT systems process more than 75 percent of U.S. lottery sales. With the acquisition of Connecticut Lottery as a facilities management customer, all top five U.S. lotteries in terms of sales per capita rely on IGT’s central systems.
