The agreement, with Szerencsejatek Zrt, which will run until December 31, 2020, was confirmed following a competitive procurement process. The company will implement its Aegis NGS central system hardware and software, while also installing extra Wave terminals.

"Scientific Games has been successfully serving our lottery for many years and we believe its innovative products and services have been a key factor in our growth," said Kalman Szentpetery, CEO of Szerencsejatek Zrt. "We are impressed by the Wave terminal and the Aegis NGS system appears to be the best performing lottery system available today. Scientific Games has delivered once again and we believe it will continue to help our lottery grow."

Szerencsejatek Zrt is presently the only lottery in Hungary and operates around 4,800 retail terminals. Total lottery sales last year amounted to approximately $900m.
