New Zealand’s National Lottery, Lotto NZ, has selected Scientific Games as its new systems technology provider. As a result, the provider will roll out its next-gen technology, replacing the lottery’s existing core gaming system and online gaming system. Scientific Games’ solution will power Lotto NZ with a lottery retail system, retail point-of-sale technology, a digital lottery platform and a digital content aggregation hub.
According to the announcement, the seven-year agreement will see Scientific Games roll out its SYMPHONY gaming system to transform Lotto NZ’s draw-based games engine and communication across its retail network and 1,200+ Contour.v point-of-sale terminals and wireless ticket checkers.
Scientific Games will furthermore leverage its SG Content Hub aggregation division to provide Lotto NZ with multiple online games, draw-based games and eInstants developed by Scientific Games and third-party developers.
The official start of the agreement is the day it goes live. The arrangement can be extended for up to 12 years, Scientific Games noted.
Scientific Games is a long-term partner of the lottery and has supported it with retail instant scratch games for more than three decades. For reference, Lotto NZ currently offers Lotto, Powerball, Strike, Bullseye, Keno and Instant Kiwi.
