Scientific Games has entered into a new deal with Washington’s Lottery to enhance instant scratch games for players in Washington State.

Scientific Games has served as the primary scratch game provider for Washington’s Lottery since the lottery’s inception more than 40 years ago.

Building upon a relationship that has seen gross gaming revenue from instant products increase by 60 per cent in the past ten years, Scientific Games has secured a new six-year contract, renewable for up to four additional years.

“Our work with Scientific Games has made a difference,” said Gaylene Gray, instant product manager for Washington’s Lottery. “We’ve been able to offer our players entertaining scratch game experiences while responsibly driving more funding for the good cause programs that enrich our communities.

“We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Scientific Games as into the next phase of innovation and growth for our products.”

Some of the more successful games currently enjoyed by Washington’s Lottery players are LOTERIA branded scratch games at the $2, $5, $10 and $20 price points featuring original Don Clemente images and traditional Latin American bingo-style play.

To date, LOTERIA games have generated more than $460.4 million revenue for the lottery.

“It is a pleasure to continue our collaboration with Washington’s Lottery on its very successful product portfolio as primary instant game provider,” said Scientific Games president of Americas and global instant products John Schulz. “The lottery’s team has always embraced innovation and is willing to try new ideas that entertain players and drive more funding for vital programs in the state.”
