LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA – July 6, 2021 – Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) (“Scientific Games” or the “Company”) announces the successful launch of its instant ticket gaming system in Switzerland.

In addition to instant games and the new instant ticket management system, Scientific Games provides the Lottery with a central lottery gaming system, WAVE™ retailer point-of-sale terminals, terminal software, and a sports betting solution.
