PROVIDENCE – International Game Technology PLC, through its subsidiary, IGT Global Services Limited, is providing a Remote Game Server system and interactive Instant Win content to the New Zealand Lotteries Commission.
IGT, which was previously known as GTECH before a merger between the two companies, has provided lottery equipment and services to Lotto NZ since the lottery’s inception in 1987.
Declan Harkin, IGT senior vice president and chief operating officer, international, said the agreement, announced last week, “demonstrates the customer’s continued trust in our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions and content that will responsibly increase lottery sales and continue generating funds for good causes.”
Crafted after a competitive procurement process, the agreement is for an initial term of five years from the date the Remote Game Server system goes live, according to information from IGT. It features an additional two-year extension at Lotto NZ’s option, along with another extension option upon the agreement of both parties.
The system will allow Lotto NZ to leverage IGT’s gaming content library, and integrate game content from third-party developers, to its MyLotto interactive site.
In addition to this agreement, IGT continues to provide Lotto NZ with its lottery central system, terminal system and ticket-scan devices, as well as central system and terminal maintenance, game development, and software support under the Master Services Agreement signed five years ago.
