Company Wins New Contract for Integrated Games, Technology and Services Solution
ATLANTA – October 9, 2024 – Scientific Games will continue as Lotería Electrónica’s game, technology and services partner as the awardee of a new, eight-year contract. The contract includes upgrades to the industry-leading Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership instant game management program currently in place in Puerto Rico. Lotería Electrónica is ranked among the top 10 U.S. lotteries for per capita draw game sales and has one of the highest instant game per capita sales in the Caribbean region. The agreement may be extended for up to two years.
Through a competitive procurement process, Scientific Games was selected by Lotería Electrónica following a holistic evaluation of games, technology and service offerings to support, complement and expand its full game portfolio.
The contract award continues a high-performance, historical partnership with Scientific Games that achieved a 65% increase in Lotería Electrónica’s sales and an 81% increase in profits from 2005 to 2023. Proceeds benefit important social programs in Puerto Rico, including college scholarships for students enrolled in the local public higher education system, health and wellness initiatives, housing subsidies for seniors, sports and recreation programs, and roads and infrastructure improvement.
Scientific Games will upgrade Lotería Electrónica’s existing central system to its advanced Momentum ecosystem and modernize the player experience at retail with new WAVE retailer terminals, PlayCentral HD Powered by SCiQ self-service machines, Lottery Inmotion digital advertising displays, jackpot signs and ticket checkers. A new mobile app developed by Scientific Games for Lotería Electrónica will engage players with second-chance promotions and offer convenience features, including Keno and jackpot game drawing results.
Additionally, Scientific Games will enhance the SGEP program in Puerto Rico with Momentum’s SciTrak platform. SciTrak expertly manages Lotería Electrónica’s “Instantaneos” game portfolio using data analytics, as well as the industry’s most advanced predictive ordering system. Scientific Games will also continue to provide instant game creation and production, inside sales and advanced logistics and analytics.
