“IGT has a strong reputation of being a quality lottery system provider, and for modernizing its system and its related components,” said Greg Smith, Connecticut Lottery Corp. CEO and president.
“IGT’s success in implementing central systems is unrivaled, having completed 60 on-time, full-system conversions in the last 13 years, including nine conversions from competitor systems,” said Jay Gendron, IGT chief operating officer, Lottery. “In serving the Connecticut Lottery, IGT will leverage its decades of industry leadership to help drive the lottery’s growth and offer engaging experiences for its players.”
IGT will also distribute 3,000 Retailer Pro and Retailer Compact lottery terminals, along with 200 GameTouch 28 self-service vending machines to lottery retailers.
