LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, May 13,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the
"Company") was awarded a new, three-year contract to provide
instant games to LOTTO Thüringen (the "Lottery") in central
Germany. The Company won the
contract, which may be extended one additional year, following a
competitive procurement process based on its value added products
and services including digital instant games, or 'eInstants', which
the Lottery plans to launch in 2021.
Jochen Staschewski, LOTTO Thüringen CEO, said, "We look forward
to continuing our successful partnership with Scientific Games and
the sustainable growth of instant game revenues in Thuringia. This
is one of the few lottery markets in Germany that continues to grow. Our growth is
largely driven by instant products, therefore, we plan to further
develop our portolio of instant games sold at retail as well as
offer our players digital instant games to enjoy at home and via
mobile."
In four years (2014-2018), Scientific Games responsibly grew the
Lottery's instant product category by 58%. The Company has
partnered with LOTTO Thüringen for more than two decades and
currently serves all 16 state lotteries in Germany.
John Schulz, Scientific Games
Senior VP of Instant Products, said, "We have offered LOTTO
Thüringen instant game products with value adds that have proven
ability to responsibly increase revenue for our lottery customers
around the world. The potential of instant games, sold both at
retail and online/mobile, is not fully realized in Europe however they are the biggest and most
successful lottery product category in the U.S. and still
growing."
U.S.-based Scientific Games launched the world's first secure
retail instant game in 1974, and is currently the primary instant
game provider to the Top 10 performing instant game lotteries in
