International
Game Technology PLC has announced that its subsidiary, IGT Foreign Holdings
Corporation, has signed a six-year contract extension to provide a lottery
central system upgrade to Boldt Gaming SA, which in turn will provide the
system to Instituto Provincial De Loterias y Casinos of the Province of Buenos
Aires in Argentina (Buenos Aires Lottery).
The central system will continue to process the Buenos Aires Lottery’s
draw-based lottery transactions. IGT will also provide hardware and software
support through September 2022. IGT, through its original agreement with Boldt
Gaming, has been providing lottery products and support services to the Buenos
Aires Lottery since 1993.
"IGT is committed to supporting the growth of its customers,” said Walter Bugno, IGT CEO, International. "With this extension, we look forward to upgrading the Buenos Aires Lottery’s operating system and providing ongoing services necessary to support their next phase of growth.”
Under the
upgrade, the Buenos Aires Lottery’s existing GOLS (Gaming On-Line System)
central system will be replaced with a new, modern, and functionally-enhanced
central system that includes hardware and software updates offering secure
transaction processing as well as associated back-office applications for
managing the Lottery’s business.
