GTECH today announced that the company was chosen as the successful vendor to provide new lottery terminals and a new communications network to Loterie Nationale of Belgium, a state-owned company that administers and operates national lottery games in Belgium. Loterie Nationale’s decision was the result of a competitive procurement process in which eight other companies participated.
“We have enjoyed a very successful partnership with Loterie Nationale for over a decade,” said GTECH CEO and President Howard S. Cohen. “Loterie Nationale has a reputation of being a customer that values technological innovation, and we are delighted they have chosen GTECH for our industry-leading solutions.”
As a result of the award, GTECH will replace Loterie Nationale’s existing terminal base with approximately 6,000 Altura terminals. The Altura terminal’s features include a high speed imaging reader, a thermal printer, a hard disc drive, applications written in the Java programming language under a Linux operating system, and the Aladdin card which offers new content for players.
In conjunction with Belgium’s largest telecommunications company, Belgacom, GTECH will also replace Loterie Nationale’s existing communications network with a nationwide IP (Internet Protocol) communications network based on ISDN AO/DI technology and GTECH’s IP-GTX front-end processors. GTECH will integrate the new terminals and the new IP network with the existing ProSys central system. GTECH anticipates receiving approximately U.S. $33 – $35 million in product sale and service fees over the next several years, beginning in fiscal year 2004.
