Scientific Games signs Connecticut Lottery extension

“We have had a long and successful relationship with the Connecticut Lottery and by working as partners we have been able to support the Connecticut Lottery's efforts to increase draw sales more than 18% since the current agreement began in 2007,” said Pat McHugh, North America Lottery Systems President for Scientific Games. “We look forward to continued growth and success.”

“Our retailers are the backbone of our success and our commitment to them will remain steadfast as we grow our portfolio,' said Anne Noble, President and CEO for the Connecticut Lottery. “Our extension with Scientific Games provides operational stability at a competitive price, which is critical to the Connecticut Lottery's revenue raising mission.

“We also appreciate Scientific Games' increased commitment to our supplier diversity initiative, a corporate social responsibility programme designed to support local minority businesses.”

Scientific Games' current agreement with the Connecticut Lottery calls for it to provide a central system, approximately 3,000 terminals featuring touchscreen technology, in-store digital advertising display units and retailer network customer ticket checkers as well as a satellite-based communications network since 1998.
