The new system will monitor approximately 14,000 gaming machines in more than 1,350 licensed Limited Video Lottery locations and five casinos throughout the State of West Virginia. This technically sophisticated, next-generation system will replace Scientific Games'AEGISTM video system and provide real-time monitoring of security events and financial meters and verify that only properly certified software is running on all gaming machines connected to the system.
John Myers, Acting Director of the West Virginia Lottery, said, "After a thorough and competitive procurement process, the selection of Scientific Games and their Connexus system allows us to provide both our licensed retailers and casinos with a modern monitoring and accounting platform that we feel confident will meet the current and future needs of our stakeholders."
"The West Virginia Lottery takes its role of ensuring the integrity, security and viability of West Virginia's gaming business very seriously," said Gavin Isaacs, President & CEO, Scientific Games Corporation. "Being chosen to deploy our next-generation Connexus system is a tribute to the very high standards by which the West Virginia Lottery operates and the powerful, yet cost efficient and flexible attributes of the Connexus system."
