Scientific Games said Monday that the company had won a new six-year contract from the South Carolina Education Lottery.
The company, which provides gaming equipment to the casino industry and government lotteries, has designed and manufactured every instant game sold in South Carolina since the lottery launched in 2002. To date, instant games represent nearly $4 billion in lottery contributions to education in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Education Lottery selected Scientific Games following a competitive procurement process.
“We have accomplished great results over the past 18 years working with Scientific Games as our primary instant games provider to offer enjoyable game entertainment for South Carolina players while providing vital support for state educational programs,” said Hogan Brown, executive director of the South Carolina Education Lottery.
Since 2014, Scientific Games has helped the South Carolina Education Lottery grow instant game sales by 10.6%, the highest five-year annual growth rate of any of the Top 10 instant game lotteries worldwide.
“Our long-term collaboration with the South Carolina Education Lottery has provided Scientific Games with a full understanding of its marketing strategy,” said John Schulz, senior vice president of Lottery Instant Products for Scientific Games.
Scientific Games, which is headquartered in Las Vegas with lottery offices in Atlanta, launched the world’s first secure retail instant game in 1974, and currently supplies games, technology or services to more than 150 lotteries in 50 countries.
