International Game Technology PLC (IGT) revealed that its subsidiary company IGT Global Solutions Corporation has signed an agreement with Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML) to debut its lottery terminal product in Portugal.
IGT is expected to provide SCML with 7,200 Retailer Vue lottery terminals by the end of 2023. The Retailer Vue lottery terminal by IGT has a built-in 13.3-megapixel camera that can read playslips, winning tickets, identification cards and mobile devices.
By using these terminals, IGT expects that it will free up counter space by eliminating the need for additional hardware and cables.
IGT Chief Operating Officer of Global Lottery Jay Gendron commented: "In today's ever-evolving lottery landscape, it is important that IGT provides SCML with high-performing solutions to meet present and future market needs.
"IGT's Retailer Vue combines convenience and transparency with key features designed to increase productivity and modernize the lottery retail experience for SCML."
The terminal is compatible with in-store advertising displays allowing the operator to promote its products and jackpots at the point of sale.
In an effort to enhance player confidence and transparency, the terminal enables players to interact directly with the product and with its ability to read printed and digital barcodes.
Retailer Vue uses a touchscreen interface to complete sales transactions, speeding up the process for retailers.
Gendron added: "We look forward to our continued partnership with SCML and the world debut of our new terminal which will benefit the Lottery, its retailers and players while driving maximum sales growth and contributions toward good causes."
IGT is headquartered in London with several offices throughout the US.
