operator
LONDON, March 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology
PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) announced today that its subsidiary, IGT
Global Services Limited, has signed a six-year contract with
Singapore Pools (Private) Limited ("Singapore Pools") to provide
IGT's powerful central lottery system, Aurora™, and its related
technologies. IGT's Aurora was built to drive lottery innovation
and profitability and will offer reliability for Singapore Pools'
high volume of transactions.
"IGT's positive reputation and its global success in
providing performance-driving solutions gives Singapore Pools the
confidence that our lottery operations are powered by
industry-leading technology," said Lam Chee Weng, Singapore Pools' Chief Executive
Officer. "We have trusted IGT's technology since 1986 when
Singapore Pools became the first computerized lottery in
Southeast Asia, and we look
forward to continuing our long-time partnership for the next six
years."
"Set up to provide a legal, safe and trusted avenue for
people to place bets, Singapore Pools requires the sophistication,
reliability and innovation that IGT's Aurora central system
provides to support the Lottery's significant number of daily
transactions," said Jay
Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.
"IGT's service-oriented Aurora incorporates a suite of flexible
solutions designed to manage, transform and further grow the
Lottery's business. This best-in-class technology coupled with
IGT's longstanding lottery leadership will ensure Singapore Pools
continues to channel its surpluses to good causes while offering a
secure and responsible gaming environment for all."
Along with the new central system, IGT will deploy Aurora
Navigator, Data Connector and Aurora Anywhere. Aurora Navigator
offers a single place to view, manage and administer all lottery
applications and back-office functions to help Singapore Pools
manage its business. The Data Connector is the plug-and-play
platform for fast, efficient data integration and analysis. IGT's
Aurora Anywhere is the secure gateway that allows for external
applications to connect to the core lottery system which creates
opportunities for expanded game play. Additionally, IGT will
provide ongoing maintenance, marketing support and operator
training.
