The extension, when added to the full duration of the contract, will run through October 2033, and in addition makes available three, one-year extension options. IGT will provide the Virginia Lottery with an upgraded lottery central system and communications network, new point-of-sale hardware, and exciting gameplay features with a target live date of October 2025.
“Since first partnering with the Virginia Lottery in 2000, IGT has helped us responsibly modernize our lottery offerings and drive sales growth for our business. We look forward to IGT’s enhancements to our system and point-of-sale technology that will ultimately support our mission to generate revenue for Virginia’s K-12 public education,” Tony R. Russell, Interim Director of Virginia Lottery, said.
“IGT has worked closely with the Virginia Lottery for more than 20 years to deliver world-class, innovative lottery solutions and services. The upgraded technology being deployed for the Virginia Lottery as part of our latest extension will offer increased flexibility for the Lottery to easily manage its back-end operations. Additionally, the introduction of a progressive jackpot feature to the Lottery’s Print ‘n Play games will provide players with engaging new experiences,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.
Under the terms of the contract extension, IGT will upgrade the Virginia Lottery’s central retail system to its newest version of Aurora, part of IGT’s OMNIA lottery solution. IGT also will replace 5500 retailer terminals with its high-performance, high-volume terminal, the Retailer Pro S2, enabling the Lottery to easily add new features across multiple point-of-sale terminals simultaneously. IGT has been the primary lottery technology partner to the Virginia Lottery since 2000 and its primary instant ticket provider since 2020.
International Game Technology PLC announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has signed a five-year contract with the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (Atlantic Lottery), to implement high-performing features and exciting new games for players in Atlantic Canada. As part of the agreement, IGT will deploy its advanced cloud-based remote game server (RGS) and at least 16 digital instant games each year. The contract will run through April 2029 and includes five, one-year extension options.
“As the largest digital instant market in Canada, Atlantic Lottery is pleased to partner with IGT and offer our players dynamic digital instant games from IGT’s comprehensive content portfolio. Additionally, the scalability of IGT’s cloud-based RGS will enable us to modify our digital instants library in real time, provide our players with best-in-class experiences and continually enhance our iGaming offer,” Robert LaLonde, iGaming Director at Atlantic Lottery Corporation, said.
“Partnering with the Atlantic Lottery to deliver IGT’s cloud-based RGS and engaging digital instant games is an exciting opportunity for our iLottery business.

“By introducing IGT’s Scan and Redeem functionality, South Dakota Lottery offers players the opportunity to have expanded options to receive their winnings, rather than needing to drive several hours to a redemption center or wait for checks to be delivered in the mail. IGT has been our trusted growth partner for nearly 15 years, and we are pleased to extend this successful partnership for five more years, providing more convenient lottery solutions to our players,” Norm Lingle, Executive Director of South Dakota Lottery, said.

Under the terms of the new extensions, IGT will upgrade the Kentucky Lottery’s central system to IGT’s high-performing Aurora platform, deliver new point-of-sale hardware for 3400 lottery retailers across the State, and deploy an upgraded iLottery system that includes cloud integration.
“The Kentucky Lottery has partnered with IGT since operations first began and we have continued to look for ways, in partnership with IGT, to modernize 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,” Mary R. Harville, President & CEO of Kentucky Lottery Corporation, said.
“The Kentucky Lottery has always been at the forefront of lottery innovation and IGT is pleased to continue supporting these modernization 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,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer Global Lottery.
“In 2016, the Kentucky Lottery became one of IGT’s first U.S. customers to launch an iLottery program. 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,” said Srini Nedunuri, IGT Senior Vice President Global iLottery.
As part of the Company’s player-centric omnichannel solution OMNIA, IGT’s Aurora platform was developed to drive lottery innovation and profitability, and will provide the Kentucky Lottery with intuitive, user-friendly applications, tools, and reporting capabilities. Components of Aurora such as Performance Wizard, Retailer Wizard, and Sales Wizard will be deployed to the cloud for optimal functionality.
