Interactive gaming software and services provider GTECH has secured a six-year full-service contract with Mexican national online lottery operator Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública.
Under the deal, GTECH will provide an integrated draw-based/instant-ticket system, at least 11,000 draw-based lottery terminals, a communications network, as well as additional lottery products and various ongoing services.
GTECH stated that it expects the contract, which is due to commence in September of this year, to generate more than $130 million (€109 million) in revenue over its duration.
“For the past 27 years, GTECH has supported Pronósticos in generating a sustainable and robust source of funding for social programs in México,” Pronósticos director general María Esther de Jesús Scherman Leaño said.
“The continuation of this long-term partnership will help to modernize Pronósticos’ lottery programme and launch the next phase of our growth for the benefit of the communities it serves.”
Jaymin Patel, president and chief executive officer of GTECH Americas, added: “GTECH is fully prepared to support Pronósticos’ growth strategy with a set of innovative solutions that offer the flexibility to adapt to changes in the industry and the demands of the Mexican marketplace, now and in the future.
“This agreement represents the continuation of our almost three-decades-long commitment to increasing Pronósticos’ returns, which support social programs in México.”
