From implementing user-friendly digital platforms to introducing cutting-edge lottery terminals, IGT ensures that players enjoy secure and engaging gaming opportunities. This collaboration underscores IGT’s dedication to modernizing lottery operations, making it easier than ever for Kansas residents to participate in their favorite games.
IGT’s commitment to excellence extends beyond its lottery services, making it a leader in casino software solutions as well.
Enhancing Lottery Experiences in Kansas with Cutting-Edge Technology
International Game Technology (IGT) will continue to support the Kansas Lottery through mid-December 2032.
Both parties have put pen to paper on a 10-year contract extension that will see IGT deliver an enhanced version of its Intelligent electronic gaming central system.
By integrating IGT’s upgraded Intelligent software, Sunflower State’s lottery will purportedly receive the supplier’s “most advanced systems technology to strategically manage its electronic gaming machine (EGM) network.”
Under this new agreement, the Kansas Lottery will receive site controllers that will maintain network diagnostics and communications between all gaming machines, as well as business intelligence tools for day-to-day operations management and reporting.
“IGT’s upgraded Intelligent system will provide the Kansas Lottery with a suite of comprehensive tools designed to drive revenues and offer its players world-class gaming experiences,” said Jay Gendron, IGT’s Chief Operating Officer for Global Lottery.
“Intelligen’s improved system performance will also allow the lottery to manage its vast network with maximum efficiency over the next decade and position the lottery to deploy future functionality to meet the needs of the evolving gaming landscape.”
Boosting Economic and Social Benefits
The Kansas Lottery plays a vital role in generating funds for the state’s public services, and IGT’s long-term involvement amplifies these efforts. By optimizing lottery operations, IGT helps maximize revenue for Kansas, directly supporting educational programs, infrastructure development, and other public initiatives. The 10-year contract extension guarantees that the lottery will continue to benefit from IGT’s robust and reliable systems, fostering a steady stream of contributions to the state’s economy. Moreover, the collaboration promotes responsible gaming practices, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.
With a focus on cutting-edge casino gaming software, IGT ensures operators can deliver immersive and engaging experiences to players while maintaining top-notch security and reliability.
A Blueprint for Future Success
This partnership sets a benchmark for how lotteries and technology providers can work together to achieve shared goals. By extending their contract, Kansas and IGT have created a blueprint for future lottery success, emphasizing innovation, integrity, and impact. Whether through introducing new game formats or enhancing existing systems, IGT is committed to keeping the Kansas Lottery at the forefront of the gaming industry. As the partnership progresses, Kansans can look forward to a continually evolving lottery experience that remains accessible, exciting, and beneficial to the community.
In addition to EGMs and its Intelligent central system, IGT also provides the Kansas Lottery with instant ticket games and printing services. The new contract will run through 14 December 2032.
The company previously agreed on a three-year contract extension with the lottery in 2019 but that is set to end in December of this year. The original agreement was awarded to IGT in 2008.
