Scientific Games has been selected to provide a new central gaming system to power Loto-Québec’s retail and digital sales.
The new systems technology will replace the lottery’s legacy system and is part of Scientific Games’ Momentum ecosystem, which connects retail, digital and operational solutions into one integrated framework.
The new contract follows a competitive procurement process and extends an existing long-standing partnership between the two companies, which includes instant scratch games and retail self-service terminals.
“We are honored to further expand our more than 50-year successful relationship with Loto-Québec as its central gaming systems provider,” said John Schulz, president of Americas and global instant products for Scientific Games. “Our advanced system is engineered for the future, delivering the performance, security and operational efficiencies that will support Loto-Québec’s sales and sustainability.”
Since December 2024, Scientific Games’ central gaming systems technology has been chosen by several other North American lotteries, including the Ohio Lottery and New Mexico Lottery.
Globally over the last decade, the company has completed 50 lottery system implementations and conversions, most recently for the National Lottery in the United Kingdom and for Lotto New Zealand.
In Canada, Scientific Games supports Loto-Québec and other provincial lotteries from its operations in Montréal.
“Our Montréal facility has a long history of collaboration with Loto-Québec,” said Scientific Games regional vice president of operations Marc-André Doyon. “Our employees in Montréal are ready to take on this new opportunity. For decades, Scientific Games has produced more than 4,500 instant scratch games for Loto-Québec, including its very first scratch game.”
