Lottomatica subsidiary GTECH has signed a five-year contract extension to continue providing lottery products and services for the South Dakota Lottery.
Since GTECH became the online lottery vendor in South Dakota in 2009, online sales have grown approximately 35 per cent.
GTECH president and CEO Jaymin Patel said: “We can attribute much of that growth to the great partnership we have established with the South Dakota Lottery – a partnership that fosters open communication, collaboration and creativity, with a shared goal in mind and that is to keep the South Dakota Lottery moving forward and growing to even greater heights."
South Dakota Lottery executive director Norman Lingle added: "This contract extension represents our confidence in the technology and services GTECH provides the South Dakota Lottery and the partnership that ensures the quality of those services.”
The group provides the South Dakota Lottery with a full range of products including its Enterprise Series system solution, 620 Altura terminals, ES MultiMedia digital advertising displays, Ticket-Scan self-service ticket checkers and an IP-communications network.
As part of the extension, GTECH will provide the lottery with 600 LED jackpot signs and will continue providing the operation and maintenance of the lottery's online central system, terminals and communications network, as well as field service, marketing support and hotline services.
