Scientific Games signs up Danske Spil to omnichannel gaming system

Scientific Games has agreed a deal to power lottery retail and digital sales for Danish national lottery operator Danske Spil.

Danske Spil becomes the sixth lottery to choose the global lottery company’s new omnichannel SYMPHONY gaming system, which is built to support future game entertainment channels including third-party content and platforms.

Currently, two lotteries are already powered by the SYMPHONY system, with another four scheduled to convert to the new technology through new contracts or contract extensions.

“We look forward to continue working with Scientific Games as our primary lottery games and technology partner and will be building on our longstanding cooperation,” said Danske Spil chief information officer Mikkel Müller. “The modern, new SYMPHONY gaming system will support Danske Spil delivery of innovative and entertaining lottery gaming to our customers and help us drive performance.”

As part of the new six-year technology contract, which Danske Spil may extend for a total of 10 years, Scientific Games will provide the latest models of its flagship WAVE and Contour.V point-of-sale terminals across the lottery’s network of retail locations.

The POS terminals will be powered by the SYMPHONY Edge terminal software, with the agreement also including software development, infrastructure, operations, maintenance and support.

The new gaming system from Scientific Games powers omnichannel sales, including scratch games and iLottery games, with a variety of draw-based games such as Eurojackpot, LOTTO, Vikinglotto and Keno.

“Always innovative, Danske Spil has taken a huge step toward the future by selecting Scientific Games’ new SYMPHONY gaming system technology,” said Scientific Games international lottery systems vice president of sales and marketing Matthias Müller. “The modular, secure architecture of the system offers Danske Spil the agility to keep up with ever-changing consumer behaviors and rapidly evolving retail and digital sales environments.”

Scientific Games has been working with Danske Spil for more than 20 years, providing Danske Spil with instant scratch games, subscription services and a player account management system.
