LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, Sept. 21,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the
"Company") announce the official "go live" of the Turkey National
Lottery's new instant ticket retail and digital gaming systems and
point-of-sale terminals across an initial network of more than
5,000 retailers, growing to 10,000 retailers later this year. The
project, which began a year ago in the nation with a population of
82 million, also brings Scientific Games' world-leading retail and
digital instant "scratch" games to Turkish players for the first
time through the 10-year concession awarded by the Turkey Wealth
Fund to Sisal Şans, a joint venture between Turkish Şans Dijital
and Italian SISAL S.p.A. ("SISAL").
As part of the National Lottery program, Scientific Games has
provided an advanced instant ticket gaming system, 10,000
WAVE™ retailer terminals, and its Open Gaming System
(OGS) platform for launching first and third-party digital
scratch game content. Additionally, Sisal Şans has provided a
mobile app to 800 instant game street vendors. New instant games
from Scientific Games, including GOLD, LUCKY MOUNTAIN and
12 MONTHS LUCK, have been well-received by Turkish players,
with a 200,000 (TL) top prize paid on the third day following the
National Lottery's launch.
Pat McHugh, Lottery Group Chief
Executive for Scientific Games, said, "We are thrilled to continue
our success in Turkey with
back-to-back, high-profile projects, both with significant growth
objectives focused on developing retail and digital engagement.
Through our collaboration with trusted, longtime partners, Şans
Dijital and SISAL, Scientific Games is driving maximum sales and
profits to the Turkish Government and bringing great new gaming
entertainment to Turkish players."
The large-scale National Lottery project follows the successful
August 2019 launch of Turkey's national sports betting concession,
one of the world's largest state-sponsored fixed odds sports
betting markets, by the Company's joint venture with Şans
Dijital. Scientific Games' full turnkey sports betting solution is
driving record sales and returns to the Government of Turkey, with a record week of more than
$220 million (USD) in wagers in
July.
Scientific Games' sports solution in Turkey is powered by its world-leading central
gaming systems technology and includes nearly 5,000 WAVE
terminals, its OpenSports™ managed trading solution,
and six licensed virtual live betting sites.
Şans Dijital is an affiliate of Demirören Holding, one of
Turkey's largest companies with
significant business interests in energy, real estate and media.
Recently, Şans Dijital has become a gaming operator that is growing
aggressively in Turkey and looking
to expand in the region.
SISAL is one of Italy's largest
and most prominent gaming operators holding significant
market-share in lottery, sports betting, AWP machines, VLTs and
digital gaming. SISAL is also recognized as the country's leading
provider of payment solutions.
