IGT Gets Nebraska Lottery Contract For Instant Games

International Game Technology (IGT) has announced that IGT Global Solutions Corporation subsidiary has signed a seven-year contract with Nebraska Lottery to serve as the primary vendor for instant and draw-based games and related services.

Nebraska had a very competitive procurement process and IGT was selected as the preferred operator.

Long-Term Solution

IGT will upgrade the Lottery’s draw-based central system to IGT’s flexible Aurora solution…

…and they will deliver terminal equipment at 1,200 retailer locations statewide.

IGT will also provide compelling and innovative instant ticket games and related services. The contract will last until June 30, 2028 and allows for three two-year extensions.

Brian Rockey, Nebraska Lottery Director, said:

“For more than 25 years, IGT’s professionalism, expertise, services and solutions have been key to the Nebraska Lottery’s efforts to maximize contributions to benefit the environment, education, the Nebraska State Fair, and the Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund. We are very pleased to continue the trusted partnership we began with IGT in 1994, and look forward to the products, technology, and concepts they will bring in the future.”

Adds Jay Gendron, IGT’s COO for Lottery:

“IGT will leverage our decades of lottery experience to deliver industry-leading solutions that will provide the flexibility to help evolve, manage, and grow the Nebraska Lottery’s sales now and in the years ahead. We look forward to continuing our longstanding partnership with the Nebraska Lottery to provide proven technology and innovative games that will engage players and drive sales growth.”

As a Part of the Deal

The Nebraska Lottery will get IGT’s Aurora Platform and Retailer Pro, which is producer’s fastest and most innovative retailer-friendly draw-based lottery terminal.

IGT will deliver its complete instant game supply chain solution, Instant Advantage™, which includes a tailored and strategic approach to the way IGT will design and print instant ticket games for the Lottery.

Secure warehousing and distribution of instant tickets to lottery retailers is also provided within the package deal.
