Canada: IGT extends contract with Manitoba to deliver its INTELLIGEN video lottery central system

International Game Technology (IGT) announced Tuesday that its subsidiary, IGT Canada Solutions ULC, has signed a five-year central systems contract extension with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) to deliver an enhanced version of IGT's INTELLIGEN video lottery central system. 

INTELLIGEN connects nearly 6,600 video lottery terminals throughout Manitoba. This extension will run for five years following the final acceptance of the upgraded system. 

Under the terms of this extension IGT will upgrade MBLL's video lottery central system to the latest version of INTELLIGEN, which includes improved network diagnostics. MBLL will also receive serveral iLINK Ultras, IGT's latest retailer site controller that has a separate point-of-scale device and logic box for increased flexibility, and an updated user interface. 

In addition to VLTs and the INTELLIGEN central system, IGT also provides MBLL with commercial casino cabinets, games, and the IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, as well as IGT PlayCasino games.

In an official press release, Nick Khin, IGT Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Gaming spoke about this extension and said: "With IGT's enhanced INTELLIGEN system, MBLL can easily access insight into the status and performance of its VLT network. Developed to respond to the unique needs of our customers, INTELLIGEN supports the volume, complexity and security MBLL needs to operate its thousands of VLTs located throughout the region with confidence and efficiency".

IGT deploys its INTELLIGEN systems worldwide, connecting a wide range of VLTs in a variety of gaming environments. The software is built on IGT's more than 25 years of central systems experience and offers stable, secure command and control capabilities.
