Scientific Games has extended its systems technology partnership with the Arizona Lottery for an additional three years.

The contract extension will see Scientific Games modernise the Arizona Lottery by providing an upgraded, advanced central gaming system and next-generation vending powered by SCiQ technology.

The contract was signed in 2016 and since then, the Arizona Lottery has seen a 73 per cent increase in its total sales.

“Scientific Games has been a trusted partner of the Arizona Lottery for 43 years and we are proud to continue our partnership into the coming years,” said Alec Thomson, CEO of the Arizona Lottery.

“As industry leaders in central gaming system operations for lotteries across the US and the world, Scientific Games will continue to support the Arizona Lottery in driving meaningful impact for Arizona communities through ticket sales.”

John Schulz, president for the Americas and global instant products, commented: “We started with the Arizona Lottery at its beginning with the launch of the instant product portion of their business and have supported them for the last eight years with our lottery gaming system technology, which has served the Lottery very well.

“Our teams and technologists have worked hard to build a strong partnership with the Lottery through service excellence and continually modernizing the technology that supports its sales, ultimately driving maximum funding for good cause programs in Arizona.”
