Scientific Games has announced the procurement of a 10-year gaming systems technology contract with the Vermont Lottery. According to a statement, Scientific Games has been awarded this contract due to its record of generating maximum profits for lottery beneficiary programs.

"After an extremely thorough evaluation of proposals to the Vermont Lottery, Scientific Games stood out as the clear choice to modernize the Vermont Lottery and to deliver outstanding player experiences," said Sabina Haskell, deputy commissioner of the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery. "And our retailers will be equally delighted with the gaming system and support they will receive."
The Green Mountain State will also be provided with SG’s turnkey system operations and game services.
