NEW YORK – July 18, 2013 – Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) today announced that the Company has signed a contract with the Societe de la Loterie de la Suisse Romande (LoRo) to provide delivery, installation, maintenance and support of approximately 3,000 new lottery retail terminals along with new central application terminal software and related services. The contract includes installation of both the WAVE™ and Flair™ retail terminals that will utilize the same application to sell lottery draw games, instant games and sports games. The contract was awarded through a competitive procurement process.
“We selected Scientific Games based on the design of their WAVE and Flair terminals and the single application that runs on both terminals,” said Jean-Luc Moner-Banet, CEO of Societe de la Loterie de la Suisse Romande. “Scientific Games has also demonstrated to our respective departments that its terminal concept optimizes maintainability and minimizes the number of cables required. We appreciate the customization of their solutions to best match our needs.”
“LoRo is well recognized as one of the most innovative and forward-looking lotteries in Europe,” commented John Donahue, Managing Director, International Lottery Systems for Scientific Games. “We are proud to be chosen by LoRo and are confident the Swiss retailers and players will appreciate the more modern terminals.”
