Loto-Québec is leveraging the services of a major lottery and technology provider to support sales for its retail and digital operations.
Loto-Québec has announced the selection of Scientific Games to power an advanced central gaming system for the Canadian lottery company. Scientific Games was selected as a central gaming system provider following an arduous procurement process. Scientific Games will deliver its Momentum ecosystem to provide a central gaming system to Loto-Québec. The ecosystem leverages technology and applications to streamline lotteries. The ecosystem also places retail, digital and operational solutions under one umbrella.
Momentum will replace Loto-Québec’s corporation-backed legacy gaming system.
“We are honored to further expand our more than 50-year successful relationship with Loto-Québec as its central gaming systems provider,” said Scientific Games President of Americas & Global Instant Products John Schulz. “Our advanced system is engineered for the future, delivering the performance, security and operational efficiencies that will support Loto-Québec’s sales and sustainability.”
Loto-Québec and Scientific Games previously partnered to deliver instant scratch games in Canada. Loto-Québec also utilizes Scientific Games’ self-service retail terminals.
“Our Montréal facility has a long history of collaboration with Loto-Québec. Our employees in Montréal are ready to take on this new opportunity,” said Scientific Games Regional VP of Operations Marc-André Doyon. “For decades, Scientific Games has produced more than 4,500 instant scratch games for Loto-Québec, including its very first scratch game.”
Scientific Games provides services and solutions to roughly 150 government-sanctioned lotteries in 50 countries. In addition to Loto-Québec, several lotteries in North America take advantage of Scientific Games’ ability to provide central gaming systems. The lotteries leveraging the company’s services include the Ohio Lottery and the New Mexico Lottery.
