International Game Technology (IGT) has announced that its subsidiary IGT Global Services Limited has extended its contract with the Swiss Lottery – Société de la Loterie de la Suisse Romande.
Their partnership will continue until 2031, with IGT pledging to provide Loterie Romande with its iLottery system and latest lottery technologies.
This iLottery system will replace Loterie Romande’s current back-end system provider and enhance the lottery player experience in Switzerland. It will allow the lottery to migrate to the digital cloud, which offers numerous benefits, such as added security, dynamic scalability and a reduced time to market for system enhancements.
IGT’s system facilitates faster and easier integration of data and insights to enrich the player’s overall experience. It also features an integrated full suite of comprehensive responsible gaming functions.
Suisse Romande’s CEO Jean-Luc Moner-Banet commented: “IGT has partnered with Loterie Romande for nearly 30 years, supplying us with the most advanced lottery hardware, systems and services that have maximized our contributions to good causes throughout the six French-speaking cantons in Switzerland where our players live.
"We trust that by converting to IGT's iLottery system, we will be equipped with faster access to player data and analytics to ensure we offer the best player experience possible and responsibly drive sales growth to further benefit charitable organizations."
In addition to the new iLottery system, IGT will continue to provide Loterie Romande with its Aurora core lottery central system that is specifically designed to drive lottery innovation and profitability.
IGT COO Jay Gendron commented: “This extension agreement between Loterie Romande and IGT builds upon our comprehensive long-term partnership and represents the next evolution in supplying Swiss lottery players with unrivaled experiences.
"IGT's sophisticated iLottery system will offer Loterie Romande a dynamic 360-degree player view to easily adapt to customer needs and wide-ranging modules to effectively manage and grow its iLottery program."
