Scientific Games announces first North American deployment of AEGIS NGS

AEGIS NGS is an upgrade to the Lottery’s current Scientific Games system. AEGIS NGS currently operates 15 systems for lotteries in Germany, France and Norway, and is scheduled to launch with two additional European lotteries in 2014-15.
 
“We believe that this upgrade to AEGIS NGS will allow us to securely support our current business requirements, as well as lead us into the future with opportunities to add new game content, add new sales channels and reach new players,” said Dani Pokornik, Vice President, Information Technology at WCLC.
 
AEGIS NGS’ service-oriented architecture features an open platform designed to interface with multiple lottery distribution channels, including interactive, mobile, self-service terminals and multi-lane retail. The system’s highly flexible functions can be enabled based on lottery and jurisdictional requirements. It is also iPad enabled for real-time performance management.
 
“AEGIS NGS is a next-generation system we purposely engineered from the ground up with an integrated architectural approach,” said John Donahue, Managing Director for Scientific Games International.  “AEGIS NGS is a ‘future-proof’ system for lotteries that offers incredible support for current business requirements as well as innovative features to help lead them strongly into the future. We are very excited to be launching it in North America with our longstanding customer, WCLC.”
 
Launched for the first time in 2010 in Stuttgart, Germany, AEGIS NGS has deep roots in Scientific Games’ AEGIS central system and other legacy systems brought together over decades of serving global lotteries.
