IGT Subsidiary Signs Three-year Contract with La Française des Jeux
International Game Technology PLC announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has signed a three-year contract with La Française des Jeux (FDJ), the operator of the French National Lottery, to deliver innovative instant ticket games. The contract was awarded following a competitive procurement process, and reflects a longstanding partnership between IGT and FDJ, built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to global sustainability.
An important element in IGT securing the FDJ contract was IGT’s dedication to responsible business practices across its global operations which are in alignment with FDJ’s business goals and sustainability priorities. These practices include sourcing paper from FSC-certified suppliers, using non-toxic inks and coatings and implementing processes designed to reduce emissions, ensuring environmentally conscious production without compromising innovation or quality of the tickets.
“In renewing our instant ticket contract for the coming three years, we were extremely interested in securing a partner who understands our business ambitions and shares our commitment to social and environmental responsibility,” said Patrick Buffard, Chief French Lottery and Retail Sports Betting Business Unit Officer.
“IGT has established a strong understanding of FDJ’s goals, and a keen awareness of its growth opportunities and sustainability commitments throughout our decades-long partnership. IGT’s new three-year instant ticket printing contract with FDJ enables us to continue our collaboration, by leveraging our state-of-the-art printing facility and diverse game portfolio to meet FDJ’s needs. We are committed to extending FDJ’s business success with our compelling instant ticket games and strong focus on Sustainable Play,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.
Under the terms of the agreement, FDJ will have access to IGT’s full suite of engaging instant ticket games, including its revolutionary Infinity Instants games, IGT’s digital instant ticket printing platform that provides unprecedented flexibility in the design, production and marketing of instant games. IGT and FDJ will continue providing innovative player experiences, supported by responsible and sustainable business practices.
In addition to supplying instant tickets, IGT has served as the primary lottery central system supplier to FDJ since 2000 and provides FDJ with its central system hardware, instant ticket vending machines and ongoing technology support and maintenance.

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has announced a new operator partnership with Veikkaus, the Finnish state-lottery.
The partnership will see classic Play’n GO titles such as Book of Dead, Reactoonz, and Gargantoonz available to Veikkaus players for the very first time.
Play’n GO is active in over 30 jurisdictions around the world and boasts a portfolio of over 350 premium games. In February of 2024, the Swedish-founded gaming giant published a study showing public preference for the banning of Bonus Buy games.
Henrik Gedda, Head of Regional Sales, Nordics and Eastern Europe at Play’n GO said: “We’re pleased to team up with Veikkaus, a brand that is committed to a safe, sustainable industry, led by player entertainment, and who share our views on not offering Bonus Buy games. They are perfect partners for Play’n GO. We’re excited to see Veikkaus players interact with Book of Dead and Reactoonz for the first time, and we’re confident this partnership will prove to be very fruitful in the coming years”.
