International Game Technology announced a new seven-year contract with the South Dakota Lottery Tuesday, a state where the company has provided technology and equipment since 2009.

IGT said the company would provide the state lottery with an updated central system, business intelligence tools, new point-of-sale and self-service lottery terminals, maintenance, and retailer training.

South Dakota Lottery Executive Director Norm Lingle said the state lottery has delivered “more than $2.82 billion to education, developing natural resources, and providing problem gaming treatment services since 1987.”

“We look forward to continuing our relationship with IGT to generate even more funds for these important causes in our state throughout the next seven years,” Lingle said.

IGT will provide several lottery applications, which will enable the South Dakota Lottery to more efficiently manage the business and support lottery retailers.

“These products will provide greater insight into player behavior to help the Lottery continue to deliver exciting games and content that players want.” said IGT Chief Operating Officer, Lottery, Jay Gendron.
