Scientific Games wins seven-year Minnesota Lottery tech modernization deal

Scientific Games has signed a new seven-year contract with the Minnesota Lottery to modernize the lottery’s technology platform, replacing its legacy system across retail and digital networks. The agreement may be renewed for up to three additional years.

The company said it will deploy a flexible, cloud-based solution through its Momentum ecosystem, which it described as an integrated framework of technologies, applications and services intended to optimize sales performance.

“We took an innovative approach to selecting technology that would pave the way to the future and responsibly grow our contributions to programs that positively impact the lives of Minnesotans,” said Adam Prock, Executive Director, Minnesota Lottery. “We were seeking modern technology and a solution focused on service and partnership. Scientific Games was aligned with our vision for growth.”

Scientific Games said the rollout will include its central gaming system, SciTrak Scratch games distribution system, gem | Intelligence retailer licensing and management portal, and INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company added that SCiQ digital menu boards, WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be installed across the Minnesota Lottery’s retailer network, along with a second-chance digital promotions solution supported by its CRM program.

“A systems conversion requires a strong partnership and months of cooperation and collaboration. We will work closely with the Minnesota Lottery’s team to deliver another successful go-live, moving the Lottery into a sustainable future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games.
