Minnesota Lottery issues RFP for new central gaming system
Through the RFP, the Lottery is said to be reevaluating every aspect of its operations and the relationship with its gaming system vendor.
Key Points
- The RFP is requesting player-centric flexibility with an expanded baseline offering that includes a mobile application, vending and self-service package and complete digital solution
- In addition to how technical requirements will be met, the Lottery is asking service providers to explain how certain problems are going to be met and how providers plan to advance the Lottery’s mission
The Minnesota Lottery has submitted an official Request for Proposal (RFP) from providers to begin the process of implementing a new central gaming system throughout the state.
“The Minnesota Lottery creates and sells products that encourage Minnesotans to experience the fun, thrill, and excitement of gaming, while knowing their entertainment dollars are supporting their community and their environment,” Minnesota Lottery Executive Director Adam Prock said.
“What Minnesotans might not know is that the Lottery works hand-in-glove with a gaming system vendor to deliver on that mission. The Lottery’s partnership with its gaming system vendor is its single most important, and it impacts nearly every aspect of its operations.”
Through the RFP, the Minnesota Lottery is reportedly reevaluating every aspect of its operations and the relationship with its gaming system vendor while also requesting an integrated solution that will serve as the “backbone of many years of growth.”
Good to know: Minnesota Rep. Kristin Robbins sponsored a bill on February 20 that would permit licensed veterans to use a portion of lawful gambling profits for repair, maintenance and improvement projects on their properties
“Consequently, this RFP is asking for player-centric flexibility, with an expanded baseline offering that includes a mobile application, a robust vending and self-service package and a complete digital solution that includes the ability to sell draw-based games via digital channels from day one,” Prock said.
“We have also endeavored to design this procurement to be less prescriptive than those in the past. We want you to explain how you will solve our problems and advance our mission, not just how you’ll meet our technical requirements.”
Minnesota Lottery designed the RFP to include a technical specifications refinement period prior to signing, when the Lottery and its new provider will collaborate to present the vendor’s “most innovative ideas.”
