LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, Dec. 12,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ:
SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") today announced that
its $5 DC-7s game created for
the DC Lottery has won the Buddy Roogow Innovation Award for "Best
New Instant Game" in the 2017 North American State and Provincial
Lotteries Association (NASPL) Awards held at the NASPL 2017 Annual
Conference in Portland, Oregon.
The DC Lottery directly benefits the residents and economic
vitality of the District of
Columbia.
In addition, the $100
Ultime game designed by Loto-Québec and Scientific Games was
one of the two finalists for "Best New Instant Game" of 2017. In
total, nine of the 13 games nominated by U.S. and Canadian
lotteries for "Best New Instant Game" were designed and
manufactured by Scientific Games. Included in the nine nominations
was a "family" of four games, with Scientific Games creating and
producing the $5 and $10 game in the suite.
Another finalist for "Best New Instant Game" was created by
British Columbia Lottery Corporation featuring the CIRQUE DU
SOLEIL KOOZA™ brand from Scientific Games' global portfolio of
licensed properties for lottery and casino games.
Named in honor of the DC Lottery's former executive director,
the Buddy Roogow Innovation Award won by the $5 DC-7s game celebrates "the efforts made
to create and communicate the innovative attributes of new instant
and draw style games."
"Our mission is to provide games that players enjoy and generate
revenue for the District. It's great when a game we offer not only
accomplishes those goals, but also is also honored by our peers in
the industry," said Tracey Cohen,
Interim Director for DC Lottery.
The DC Lottery's best-performing $5 game this year, DC-7s features 21
different scenes showcasing players' favorite number "7". Colorful
DC-themed designs include the District of
Columbia flag, cherry blossoms and U.S. currency—all in the
shape of "7." The game offered instant win opportunities for more
than $1,000,000 in total cash prizes,
including two top prizes of $50,000.
"On behalf of Scientific Games, we congratulate the DC Lottery
and both finalists for 'Best New Instant Game' of 2017 in
North America," said John Schulz, Senior Vice President Instant
Products for Scientific Games. "We have established a very high bar
for instant product innovation, and we appreciate that so many of
our games were nominated. We look forward to continued
collaboration with our customers to create games that help drive
