Connecticut Lottery Exercises All Extensions to Scientific Games Contract

As part of the extension agreement, Scientific Games will install its fully-integrated and customized Games Management System designed to facilitate the accounting and management of both the Lottery's instant and on-line products. The estimated value of the extension agreement is $46 million.

The GMS system is a relational database product that provides a single user interface for all management activities associated with the operation of a lottery. GMS will include features such as expanded inventory control, financial management and reporting capabilities, sales and merchandising support, marketing communications and promotional support.

Bill Huntley, President of SGI Systems, said, ``The Connecticut Lottery Corporation has been a valued customer of ours and we are very pleased that they have chosen to work with us for five more years. The software upgrade will be a significant enhancement to the entire lottery system that will result in a notable increase in efficiency, service to retailers and quality of management reports.''

James Vance, President and CEO of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation continued, ``Over the years, we are fortunate to have developed and sustained a close working partnership with Scientific Games International. It makes perfect sense to us to continue this partnership for an additional five years especially with the installation of the new GMS system that will provide us with an even broader range of services and reporting capabilities for our employees, our retailers and our customers.''
