Scientific Games Corporation has successfully launched its new instant-ticket technology to support Italy’s Lotterie Nazionali, the world’s largest instant-game lottery. The newly integrated system will power more than 60,000 retail points of sale in Italy, which has a population of 60 million.
Since 2004, when Italy launched instant tickets, Scientific Games has supplied Lotterie Nazionali (and its predecessor, Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali) with the supporting technology. Between then and 2018, the instant-ticket category grew to more than $10 billion in annual retail sales.
Pat McHugh, Group Chief Executive Lottery, for Scientific Games, said, “Our games and technology are continually advancing with the focus on responsibly maximizing returns to lottery beneficiaries.”
Scientific Games, which serves 150 lotteries in more than 50 countries worldwide, is the largest lottery-systems supplier in Europe and its games generate more than 70% of instant-game lottery sales globally.
