LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, June 8,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) announces the New Hampshire
Lottery, the first modern U.S. state lottery and a Top 10
performing instant game lottery worldwide, has extended its current
contract with Scientific Games for six years with the addition of
the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP)
program to create maximum funding for educational programs in the
state.
Through the new partnership, the company will provide the New
Hampshire Lottery with world-leading instant game design and
portfolio management services, as well as technology-driven
analytics and insights, game manufacturing, advanced logistics,
technologies to support inventory management and distribution, and
services for 1,250 retailers throughout the state. The contract
extension also includes Scientific Games sales force performance
management software, gem|Intelligence®.
The New Hampshire Lottery launched the first lottery instant
"scratch" game in America in 1975 produced by Scientific Games, and
has partnered with the company over the decades to develop an
instant game product portfolio that generated a record
$295.5 million in retail sales in
2020. Perenially a top-performing lottery globally, New Hampshire is currently ranked No. 10 in
the world for instant game per capita sales (La Fleur's 2021
World Lottery Almanac). To date, the Lottery has contributed
more than $2 billion to education,
with instant games representing approximately 65% of its
revenues.
Charlie McIntyre, New Hampshire
Lottery Executive Director, said, "Scientific Games' track record
of developing our instant game category to benefit students in
New Hampshire speaks for itself.
Critical to supporting our mission, this contract extension evolves
our instant games relationship to a full category management
partnership with technologies and services that will ensure our
retailers have an optimal portfolio of games players want to
purchase. The state's decision to extend and enhance our contract
with Scientific Games for six years is in the best interest of
driving maximum profits for public education in New Hampshire."
One of the most forward-thinking lotteries in the U.S. for game
innovation, the New Hampshire Lottery has collaborated with
Scientific Games to launch thousands of instant games, some
featuring popular licensed brands and second chance promotions.
Recent hits include 7-11-21® LIVE!, $50 or $100 Series
III and Granite State Platinum Millions.
"Scientific Games congratulates the New Hampshire Lottery on
nearly 50 years of sound business management that has positioned
the Lottery at the top of a global industry. Building from a very
solid foundation, we look forward to further supporting the Lottery
with our advanced SciTrak Ultra® technology that powers the
SGEP program, and supporting its retailer network with our
gem|Intelligence software," said John Schulz, Senior VP, Lottery Instant Products
for Scientific Games.
Scientific Games launched the world's first secure retail
instant game in 1974, the first digital instant game in the U.S. in
2014, and is the world's largest creator, manufacturer and services
provider of instant games in the world. The Company provides games,
