Scientific Games and the Minnesota Lottery are partnering on a major tech modernization initiative to drive growth
Scientific Games has secured a multi-year contract to power the Minnesota Lottery’s retail and digital sales.
Replacing the lottery’s legacy system, the seven-year contract will see Scientific Games power the Minnesota Lottery with a cloud-based solution through its Momentum ecosystem.
“We took an innovative approach to selecting technology that would pave the way to the future and responsibly grow our contributions to programs that positively impact the lives of Minnesotans,” said Adam Prock, executive director of the Minnesota Lottery. “We were seeking modern technology and a solution focused on service and partnership. Scientific Games was aligned with our vision for growth.”
Scientific games’ Momentum ecosystem includes a central gaming system, the SciTrak scratch games distribution system, and PlayCentral self-service machines, which will be installed across the lottery’s retailer network.
Additionally, the deal includes a second-chance digital promotions solution supported by the Scientific Games’ CRM program.
“Scientific Games looks forward to serving the Minnesota Lottery with the highest standards of excellence and all the flexibility a cloud-based ecosystem has to offer,” said John Schulz, president of Americas & global instant products for Scientific Games. “A systems conversion requires a strong partnership and months of cooperation and collaboration.
“We will work closely with the Minnesota Lottery’s team to deliver another successful go-live, moving the lottery into a sustainable future.”
Scientific Games’s technology has been selected by four North American lotteries in the past 18 months, including the Minnesota Lottery, Ohio Lottery, New Mexico Lottery and Loto-Québec.
Over the last decade, the company has completed more than 50 lottery system implementations and conversions, most recently for the New Mexico Lottery, North Dakota Lottery, Lotto New Zealand and The National Lottery in the United Kingdom.
