International Game Technology (IGT) has extended two contracts with the Kentucky Lottery, ensuring that its subsidiary IGT Global Solutions Corporation will continue to update the lottery operator until 2036.

IGT will supply Kentucky Lottery with its Aurora platform, providing point-of-sale retail points for 3,400 stores across the US.

Mary R. Harville, Kentucky Lottery Corporation President and CEO, said: "The Kentucky Lottery has partnered with IGT since operations first began and we have continued to look for ways, in partnership with IGT, to modernise our offerings over the last 30-plus years.

"Enhancing our lottery solutions with IGT's retail and iLottery systems and convenient self-service retail terminals will provide more opportunities for us to responsibly grow our sales and return additional funds for scholarships and grants for Kentucky college students."

In addition to the Aurora retail hardware, IGT will also deploy cloud integration services for the upgraded iLottery system.

Jay Gendron, IGT COO Global Lottery, said: "The Kentucky Lottery has always been at the forefront of lottery innovation and IGT is pleased to continue supporting these modernisation efforts.

"IGT's future-forward mindset and next-generation product portfolio are critical in today's evolving lottery space.

“Over the next 10 years, we will build upon our longstanding partnership with the Kentucky Lottery and deploy our sophisticated technology to further enhance the player experience."

Under the new contract, IGT will deliver 4,000 Retailer Pro terminals to Kentucky Lottery retailers and 850 GameTouch™ 28 lottery vending machines.

Srini Nedunuri, IGT SVP Global iLottery, said: "In 2016, the Kentucky Lottery became one of IGT's first US customers to launch an iLottery programme.

"Since then, IGT has worked with the Kentucky Lottery to triple the number of online draw games available to players, as well as provide a vast portfolio of compelling eInstant games.

“IGT's cloud-based iLottery platform will offer the Lottery more flexibility, increased analytics and a full suite of advanced player-management features and responsible gaming tools."

IGT isn't the only company though, as Kentucky Lottery also extended its contracts with Scientific Games for its digital Customer Relationship Management (CRM) services.
