Scientific Games has partnered with Loto-Québec, a lottery corporation, in a five-year contract that will expand the company’s presence in the Canadian province. The deal will significantly increase the number of instant scratch games designed for Loto-Québec players.
Prior to this announcement, Scientific Games had invested millions of dollars to advance production technologies and innovation at its partner’s Quebec facility. The company has been a trusted supplier to Loto-Québec for over five decades.
Scientific Games celebrated the Lottery's 50th Anniversary in 2020 and has employed generations of workers at its Québec operations. It has produced more than 4,500 instant games for Loto-Québec at its Montreal facility in the past 50 years. This includes the Lottery's very first game – a $125,000 monthly jackpot lottery in 1970.
Scientific Games President John Schulz reiterated his company’s commitment to Loto-Québec. He commented: “We have made a significant investment in production technologies at our Montreal facility to innovate new games for the enjoyment of Québec players and support the Lottery in its mission.
"With five instant game production facilities on four continents, our global scale allows us to support Loto-Québec and all of our customers with unparalleled game production capacity. Our distribution solutions make us the lottery business partner of choice."
Loto Québec President and COO Isabelle Jean agreed with Schulz’s sentiment, saying: “Scientific Games is a longstanding Loto-Québec business partner that understands what we are trying to accomplish by creating new, exciting instant game entertainment for our players.
“They also support us in creating greener scratch games to reduce our environmental footprint.”
Scientific Games is a global instant games creator, producer and services provider.
