Scientific Games is preparing to develop the lottery by providing an upgraded, advanced central gaming system, as well as next-generation vending powered by SCiQ technology.

"Scientific Games has been a trusted partner of the Arizona Lottery for 43 years and we are proud to continue our partnership into the coming years," said Alec Thomson, CEO of the Arizona Lottery. "As industry leaders in central gaming system operations for lotteries across the US and the world, Scientific Games will continue to support the Arizona Lottery in driving meaningful impact for Arizona communities through ticket sales."

Scientific Games serves the Arizona Lottery in Phoenix, where the company's teams of marketing, analytics and tech experts, along with the central system, software and data center operations are housed. The central system is integrated with Scientific Games' state-of-the-art retailer telecommunications network, point-of-sale terminals, vending, SCiQ network and in-store digital advertising displays which support all 3,500 Arizona Lottery retailers across the state.

"We started with the Arizona Lottery at its beginning with the launch of the instant product portion of their business and have supported them for the last eight years with our lottery gaming system technology, which has served the Lottery very well,” said John Schulz, president, Americas & global instant products.

“Our teams and technologists have worked hard to build a strong partnership with the Lottery through service excellence and continually modernizing the technology that supports its sales – ultimately driving maximum funding for good cause programs in Arizona."
