IGT and Oregon Lottery to offer video lottery digital prize redemption
Oregon is the first state to offer players access to connected video lottery terminals.
International Game Technology (IGT) has partnered with the Oregon Lottery to offer its video lottery account-based cashless solutions. Through its INTELLIGEN central system, IGT will deploy more than 11,500 video lottery terminals (VLTs) across the state of Oregon.
Oregon Lottery Director Barry Pack said IGT’s technology will streamline the current lottery system and can potentially create a larger winnings pool for players.
He commented: “Through the deployment of IGT’s account-based solution, Oregon Lottery VLT players will gain the ability to save large winnings to player accounts for redemption, removing the need for paper tickets which can be lost or stolen.
“It’s also another small step towards knowing more about who plays our games which is a long-term goal of ours.”
IGT SVP Global Systems, Payments, VLT and Video Poker Ryan Reddy echoed the same sentiments and spoke about the growing demand for cashless gaming.
“As the demand for cashless technology has grown tremendously over the last two years, IGT applauds the Oregon Lottery’s continued forward-thinking approach to evolve with industry innovations while maximizing contributions to good causes in the state.”
Integrating INTELLIGEN will allow the Oregon Lottery to create a website that gives lottery winners quick access to their prizes and place online where residents can create lottery accounts. The central system will connect all the state’s VLTs.
Reddy took a moment to commend the Oregon Lottery for its VLT program: “The Oregon Lottery operates one of the most successful VLT programs in North America and the integration of IGT’s INTELLIGEN cashless solutions will enable many player benefits while offering flexibility to meet evolving market expectations and regulations.”
