Aristocrat Interactive has agreed a five-year contract with IGT Global Solutions to supply its portfolio of iLottery games to the Kentucky Lottery.
Through an integration with IGT, which is Kentucky’s iLottery systems provider, Aristocrat Interactive will offer players the latest online instant games from its NeoGames Studio, with the first eInstant games set to roll out at the beginning of next year.
“The Kentucky Lottery is constantly looking for innovative ways to provide our players fun and exciting experiences in everything we do,” said Kentucky Lottery president and CEO Mary Harville. “This opportunity with Aristocrat Interactive will allow us to continue to engage our players and help us meet our mission to fund scholarships and grants for Kentucky college students and families all across the Commonwealth.”
Chris Shaban, managing director of Aristocrat Interactive iLottery, commented: “We are excited and proud to be able to bring our premium eInstant games to a large new market of players and are confident that this deal will be a win-win for all stakeholders.
“This collaboration is a further illustration of our commitment to providing innovative, engaging games that meet the needs of lottery customers, and to help the iLottery programs meet their goals, generating revenues for good causes.”
Building upon recent deals with the Georgia and Pennsylvania lotteries, Aristocrat Interactive’s iLottery content is now present across eight US lottery markets.
