Scientific Games has been awarded a new three-year contract covering the provision of instant games to LOTTO Thüringen. 

The central German operator is an existing partner of Scientific Games, but the new contract was won following a “competitive procurement process”, and covers instant games, which are scheduled to launch in 2021. An option to extend the contract by one year has also been included.

Commenting on the news LOTTO Thüringen CEO, Jochen Staschewski, said:

“We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Scientific Games and the sustainable growth of instant game revenues in Thuringia.

“This is one of the few lottery markets in Germany that continues to grow. Our growth is largely driven by instant products; therefore, we plan to further develop our portfolio of instant games sold at retail as well as offer our players digital instant games to enjoy at home and via mobile.”

While Scientific Games senior VP of instant products, John Schulz, added:

“We have offered LOTTO Thüringen instant game products with value adds that have proven ability to responsibly increase revenue for our lottery customers.”

Scientific Games also recently renewed contracts in the US states of Iowa and Connecticut. 

Last month, Scientific Games issued an update regarding its corporate contingency programme, initiated due to the COVID-19 crisis.

With ever-increasing competition from other forms of instant online entertainment and gratification, it’s vital that lottery providers step-up their game if they want to remain viable, so this deal makes a lot of sense for LOTTO Thüringen.
