Under the contract, which is for seven
years with optional renewals thereafter, IGT will provide Thüringen Lottery
with an evolved central system solution that includes hardware and technology
upgrade, as well as system modularity and improved third-party access.
This project modernizes the current central system that has successfully
powered Thüringen Lottery’s processing, reporting, and transactions for the
past 12 years. The system is expected to launch in the beginning of 2018.
"With this new long-term contract,
Thüringen Lottery will continue to benefit from the security and reliability of
a modernized central system from IGT, while reducing the costs of future
enhancements and offering overall improved service,” said Declan Harkin, IGT
Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, International.
"This contract will ensure the lottery’s sustainability and success now and in
the years to come, and represents our ongoing commitment to growing our
presence in the German lottery market,” Harkin added.
The IGT platform is a fully integrated lottery central system for the management, processing, and reporting of games, as well as commercial and financial transactions.
