Scientific Games executive inducted into Lottery Industry International Hall of Fame

Joining 51 current members of the Lottery Industry Hall of Fame, Conforti was honored at a ceremony held at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Conforti, a 16-year veteran of the lottery industry, has traveled millions of miles around the globe in his role leading Scientific Games’ international business development across each of the Company’s operating areas, including technology systems, instant game management services, interactive platforms, gaming products and services, and sports betting.

Most recently, he led a complex privatization effort in Greece, bringing Scientific Games together with a diverse group of industry leaders to manage the Hellenic Lotteries. A key architect and strategic leader during Scientific Games’ entrance into the China marketplace in 2008, Conforti continues to develop and expand the Company’s product portfolio in China. He has served in an instrumental role in the architecture of lottery business operations in Europe, Australia, Latin America, Africa and other areas of Asia.

Conforti is an attorney and member of the Virginia State Bar and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from St. Lawrence University in New York and a Juris Doctorate from George Mason University School of Law in Virginia.  He is based in Washington, D.C., where he lives with his wife and two children.
“We congratulate Mike and are honored to have such a respected international leader representing Scientific Games and helping to grow the lottery industry in countries around the globe,” said Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO, Scientific Games.  “To have Mike inducted into the Lottery Industry International Hall of Fame is a testament to his world-class management expertise in the government relations and overall business development aspects of the lottery industry.”
Conforti is the 13th inductee from Scientific Games to join the Lottery Industry Hall of Fame, which was established by the Public Gaming Research Institute in 2005 to honor professionals who have made a significant contribution to the lottery industry’s success worldwide. Since the Hall of Fame began, twice as many Scientific Games professionals have been inducted than any other lottery industry vendor.
