Scientific Games Corporation won a highly competitive procurement for the Vermont Lottery’s gaming-systems-technology contract, winning the new business from a global competitor. Generating maximum revenues for the State of Vermont’s Education Fund, Scientific Games’ platforms, retail products, and game services will power the Vermont Lottery for 10 years through the new contract, which may be extended for up to 10 additional years.

“After an extremely thorough evaluation of proposals to the Vermont Lottery, Scientific Games stood out as the clear choice to modernize the Vermont Lottery and deliver outstanding player experiences,” said Sabina Haskell, Deputy Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery. “And our retailers will be equally delighted with the gaming system and support they will receive.”

U.S.-based Scientific Games will provide its AEGIS open-architecture gaming system and a central communications network, as well as WAVE retailer terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines.

The Vermont Lottery will flip the switch to its new Scientific Games technology in fall  2022, positioning the lottery to meet its growth objectives to provide millions of dollars in additional funding for Vermont’s Education Fund.

“Scientific Games is honored by the trust the Vermont Lottery has placed in our company, our people, and our products to support the lottery’s mission of responsibly maximizing growth over the next 10 years and creating more funding for programs that make Vermont a great place to live,” said Pat McHugh, Lottery Group CEO for Scientific Games.

As part of the new contract, the Vermont Lottery will also benefit from Scientific Games’ retailer services to develop new and existing sales channels, including marketing, revenue optimization, operational services, and associated gaming products for the Vermont Lottery.
