Scientific Games announced Tuesday that it’s bringing its retailer technology to a fourth German state lottery.
Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz will move to a more modern purchasing experience that connects retail and digital with the global lottery company’s camera-based Contour.v terminals. Scientific Games will install the terminals in 2025 in Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz’s network of approximately 900 retail outlets in central southwest Germany.
The modernization project includes the company’s Symphony Edge terminal software and management system, as well as training for Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz retailers. The technology rollout is through a new five-year contract that may be renewed for up to three additional years.
Jürgen Häfner, Managing Director for Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz, said, “With both player and retailer in mind, we are investing yet further in our well-established retailer network to enhance the connection between our digital and retail sales channels. This new technology project with Scientific Games aligns with our clear focus on player-oriented enhancements that take the purchasing experience with Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz to the next level.”
Offering contactless player interactions and mobile scanning features, the Contour.v terminals represent Scientific Games’s new-era optical technology. Contour.v was innovated by the company as part of its newest line of high-performance Contour terminals to meet evolving market demand in integrated retail and digital lottery environments.
The camera-based optical terminals feature an easily viewable and accessible ticket scan area and HD screens configurable for both clerk and player view. A unibody eliminates unnecessary parts, making the terminals extremely reliable. Advanced optics technology enhances the speed of service. The Contour.v terminals also offer easy processing and a variety of options for ongoing software upgrades.
Scientific Games has served Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz since 2006 and currently provides the Lottery with central systems, terminal management, and retail point-of-sale technology, as well as its instant games through the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program.
Scientific Games is a supplier to all 16 lotteries in Germany, and the largest lottery systems technology provider in Europe. The company currently supplies games, technologies, analytics and services to 150 lotteries in 50 countries.
