Scientific Games has extended its instant lottery agreement with the Portuguese National Lottery.
Under a new three-year contract, Scientific Games will supply its instant lottery products to SCML, the fourth largest instant lottery operator in Europe, with instant lottery making up about $1.9 billion of its yearly retail sales.
The agreement extends a partnership that goes back to 1995 when the Portuguese National Lottery was launched, with instant lottery playing a key role in its success over the past 25 years.
“We are honored to be the main instant lottery provider to nine of the top 10 lotteries in Europe and the world,” said John Schulz, Senior Vice President of Instant Lottery at Scientific Games.
“Scientific Games is thrilled to continue our long-term and successful partnership with SCML in Portugal, continuing to drive lottery growth by providing exciting instant lottery entertainment for Portuguese players while responsibly maximizing proceeds for lottery good causes.”
“We are happy to award this new instant lottery contract to Scientific Games,” said Dr. Edmundo Martinho, Head of SCML.
Our enduring alliance with this firm has established a robust framework for our ongoing expansion of SCML instant-win gaming entertainment, aiming to maximize financial gains and support our philanthropic endeavors.
Scientific Games presently offers instant-win gaming services to 48 European lottery organizations, encompassing Lotterie Nazionali in Italy, Française des Jeux in France, and the National Lottery in the United Kingdom. Earlier this year, the company entered into an extension agreement for its long-term technological collaboration with Loto-Québec, the Canadian provincial lottery operator.
