Anchor Gaming Finalizes Contract with West Virginia State Lottery

The Lottery's November 1999 decision to award the contract to AWI was the result of a competitive procurement process in which four companies participated. Since the contract award, AWI has been preparing facilities, software, and equipment for the scheduled July 2000 system conversion.

Under the terms of the contract, which may be extended by the WestVirginia Lottery for an additional two years, AWI will provide both instant games and on-line game services. Two different vendors previously provided these services. The consolidation of services to AWI enables the Lottery to realize both operational and financial benefits.

"We look forward to being an integral player in the Lottery's success and are very excited about the long-term partnership with the state of West Virginia," said AWI's President John Beach.

Anchor's AWI division provides on-line lottery systems, retail terminals, system operation, and related services for the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, Delaware, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Indiana. The Company also holds lottery system contracts in China, Norway, Switzerland, Vietnam, Chile, and the West Indies.
