International Game Technology (IGT) has extended its partnership with the Nebraska Lottery and strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Dallas Orchard as senior vice-president global premium products.
The new deal with the Nebraska Lottery will extend an existing partnership by an additional four years through to June 2021.
Under the agreement, IGT will provide a range of additional lottery equipment such as Altura GT1200 lottery terminals, AccuTherm Ultra printers as well as ES MultiMedia flat panel advertising monitors.
In addition, IGT’s Tick-Scan Plus self-service ticket checkers will be installed at all current lottery retail locations in the US state.
“Over the years, we have worked together to understand the Nebraska Lottery’s vision in order to deliver products and services that meet the Lottery’s needs, as well as the needs of its retailers and players,” IGT chief executive, North America Lottery, Michael Chambrello, said.
“IGT welcomes the opportunity to continue being of service to the Nebraska Lottery over the next several years and working to generate proceeds for its beneficiary programme.”
Meanwhile, IGT has also confirmed the appointment of Dallas Orchard as its new senior vice-president of global premium products.
Orchard, who most recently served as vice-president of gaming operations for Aristocrat Technologies, will now assume responsibility for the global management of IGT’s premium product portfolio, including market and competitive analysis, product requirements definition, and marketing alignment to achieve IGT’s business objectives.
Victor Duarte, global chief product officer for gaming at IGT, said: “Dallas Orchard represents an excellent addition to our executive team.
“He brings significant experience in growing revenues and market share with product development that generates profitability for customers and excitement for players.”
