The new five-year contract will significantly expand the number of instant scratch games that Scientific Games will design and produce locally for Loto-Québec players. The group recently invested millions of dollars to advance production technologies and innovation at its Québec facility.

“Scientific Games is a longstanding Loto-Québec business partner and employer in Québec,” said Loto-Québec Executive Vice-President and COO of Lotteries Isabelle Jean.

“The company’s leaders understand what we are trying to accomplish by creating new, exciting instant game entertainment for our players. They also support us in creating greener scratch games to reduce our environmental footprint.”

Scientific Games has produced over 4,500 instant games for Loto-Québec at its Montreal facility over the last 50 years. Games for four Canadian provincial lotteries and the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, along with lotteries in the US, France, Hungary and Australia, are also produced at the facility.

Scientific Games President, Americas & Global Instant Products John Schulz, commented: “We have made a significant investment in production technologies at our Montreal facility to innovate new games for the enjoyment of Québec players and support the lottery in its mission. 

“With five instant game production facilities on four continents, our global scale allows us to support Loto-Québec and all of our customers with unparalleled game production capacity and distribution solutions that make Scientific Games the lottery business partner of choice.”
