LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, Dec. 10,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the
"Company") will supply and deploy lottery instant games, e-instant
digital games, and WAVE lottery retailer terminals to SISAL
S.p.A. ("SISAL") in Morocco
beginning this month. This represents a very important step in
Scientific Games' objective of dramatically growing its footprint
in the rapidly developing African lottery market.
Scientific Games will provide e-instant games through an
integration of its Open Gaming System, lottery
instant scratch cards, and the Company's latest generation
WAVE retailer terminals to support SISAL in developing the
national lottery of Morocco's
retailer network.
Pat McHugh, Lottery Group Chief
Executive for Scientific Games, said, "We are honored by the
continued trust that SISAL has placed in our ability to deliver a
variety of value-added products and services that maximizes sales
and proceeds for a number of their international lottery
operations. We are particularly excited about supporting the
national lottery in Morocco and
deploying our games and technology in the African market."
SISAL is one of Italy's
largest, most prominent and responsible gaming operators holding
significant marketshare in the lottery, betting, AWP machines,
video lottery and digital gaming sectors. Scientific Games
supported SISAL in its preparation of the Moroccan national lottery
bid of Societe de Gestion de la Loterie Nationale. In February 2018, SISAL was awarded the 10-year
concession to operate the Moroccan lottery, which launched in
January 2019.
Marco Caccavale, Managing
Director of Lottery and International Business of SISAL, said, "We
are extremely pleased to have been awarded the concession to
operate the national lottery in Morocco. Most recently, we have enjoyed
significant market successes with the award of the concession to
operate parimutuel games (GNTN) in Italy, and winning the bid to operate the
national lottery in Turkey with
our partner Şans Dijital, an affiliate of Demirören Holding, one of
Turkey's largest companies. For
all of these significant opportunities, Scientific Games offers
relevant, innovative products and services for several growth
segments of our businesses. The extent of the collaboration we have
with Scientific Games in Morocco,
Italy and Turkey is clear evidence of the strength of
our strategic partnership."
Scientific Games has provided lottery retail technology to SISAL
since 1997, with SISAL relying on the Company for the vast majority
of its retailer terminals in Italy. In 2017, Scientific Games and SISAL
further strengthened their collaboration, entering into a strategic
partnership agreement.
Currently the largest lottery technology provider in
Europe and the fastest growing in
the U.S., Scientific Games supplies games, technology and services
to more than 150 lotteries in 50 countries, and sports betting
solutions to 24 lotteries and numerous private operators. The
Company is a responsible gaming supplier.
