Scientific Games has secured a new contract to serve as the primary provider of instant scratch-off games to the New York Lottery.
The contract continues a partnership that has been running for nearly fifty years, having first begun in 1976.
As part of the new deal, Scientific Games will continue to provide the lottery with consumer and product research and data analytics, game development, and portfolio planning, helping to ensure the success of the Lottery’s scratch-off games.
In the 2022/23 fiscal year, the New York Lottery’s scratch-off games generated $4.4 billion in sales and helped contribute billions in funding for education in the state.
“The New York Lottery is proud to continue its partnership with Scientific Games,” said New York Lottery director Gweneth Dean. “For decades, our collaboration has resulted in billions of dollars for New York’s public schools, and we look forward to creating exciting new games for our players and supporting our dedicated retailers across the state.”
Scientific Games created and produced the New York Lottery’s first scratch-off game and has worked side-by-side with the lottery to provide products across the state’s network of 14,000 lottery retailers.
“We’re honored to continue as the primary scratch-off game provider to one of the world’s most successful lotteries and support their important mission to fund education for New York students,” said John Schulz, president of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “Our long-standing, strategic partnership has continued to bring entertaining scratch entertainment experiences to players in the state, and we look forward to many more decades of success together.”
