The contract end date is 30 June 2025 and, as part of the agreement, IGT will deploy 175 new cashless GameTouch 28 self-service vending machines; with the aim of expanding the Lottery’s retail options and enhancing user experience. In addition, IGT will support the Lottery’s launch of IGT’s Cash Pop draw game, which offers easy-to-play mechanisms for the user.
The two companies have a long-standing history, with IGT serving as the primary technology supplier to the Missouri Lottery since 1991. It provides to the Lottery, alongside the self-serving lottery vending machines and Cash Pop, a central system, retail terminals and equipment, instant tickets and field services.
"The Missouri Lottery has trusted IGT and its innovations to help responsibly grow our sales and fund public education in the state for more than 30 years," said May Scheve Reardon, Missouri Lottery Executive Director.
"Including Cash Pop in our game portfolio is the latest example of how IGT has continually guided us through the evolving lottery industry. This exciting new game will allow our players to customise their gameplay for personalised experiences unlike any other on the market. Additionally, expanding our retailer base with IGT's GameTouch 28 vending machines will provide more convenience to our players."
Jay Gendron, IGT COO, Global Lottery, said: "IGT applauds the Missouri Lottery for its continued forward-looking approach to ensure its players have access to the most entertaining lottery products and games.
"IGT's cashless GameTouch vending machines and patented Cash Pop game are solutions that draw upon our decades of industry leadership and are designed for the next generation of players. We look forward to helping the Lottery continue to maximise its funds toward public education over the next few years."
