“The Rhode Island Lottery has partnered with IGT since the early days of both businesses and has benefitted from piloting numerous IGT innovations over the years, including exciting iLottery solutions and sophisticated new ways of ticket printing that are now part of our growing portfolio. This extension signifies an impressive milestone, and we look forward to continued success and implementation of the most advanced lottery systems and solutions for many years to come,” Mark Furcolo, Director of Rhode Island Lottery, said.

“IGT’s history is rooted in Rhode Island as the Company is one if its most successful high-tech startups, with the Rhode Island Lottery being our very first customer. IGT’s good jobs and great people are the foundation of our success and one of the reasons why we have been able to support the Lottery in its continued evolution throughout our decades-long partnership.

IGT will replace the Lottery’s draw-based lottery central system with IGT’s performance-driving Aurora product and all related lottery terminals and telecommunications equipment later this year. IGT will replace the draw-based lottery solution with IGT’s latest technology again in 2033.

IGT will also upgrade the Lottery’s iLottery system in 2023, offering a suite of powerful analytics for the Lottery. The upgraded iLottery system also creates convenience for players to access a user-friendly portal or award-winning mobile solution with a vast library of engaging content. IGT will replace the iLottery system with IGT’s latest technology in 2034.

Additionally, IGT will continue as the exclusive printer and supplier of instant tickets to the Lottery. IGT will include tickets incorporating some of IGT’s most compelling and well-known brands licensed by IGT to the Lottery’s instant ticket portfolio throughout the term of the extension.

In 2025, IGT will replace the Lottery’s video lottery central system connecting all of the video lottery terminals deployed by the Lottery at the two casinos operated by the Lottery. The new video lottery central system will allow for further reliability and security backed by more than 25 years of video lottery central system experience. IGT will replace the video lottery central system again in 2035.

Finally, IGT, through a joint venture with Bally’s Corporation, will be the exclusive supplier of video lottery terminals to the Lottery commencing 1 January 2023.

Platipus Secures Ontario Supplier Licence

Published

Platipus Gaming has officially obtained a supplier licence to operate in the province of Ontario, Canada. This licence allows the company to provide gaming content to licensed operators in the province and represents a significant milestone in Platipus’ ongoing focus on regulatory alignment, operational consistency, and responsible product supply.

Importance for Operators

For Ontario-licensed operators, partnering with a licensed supplier like Platipus ensures that content is delivered in line with AGCO requirements. This reduces the need for additional regulatory assessments and supports smoother integration of third-party content into licensed operations. All products are designed and supplied with responsible gambling and player protection in mind, adhering to the technical and operational standards required by the Commission.

Strategic Significance for Platipus Gaming

The Ontario licence is a reflection of Platipus’ compliance-by-design philosophy. Regulatory considerations are integrated early in the development process, rather than being addressed as a final checkpoint. This approach ensures that products, processes, and operational structures are prepared for regulated environments from the outset.

Operating under AGCO also positions Platipus to engage with other regulated markets where Ontario standards are often referenced as benchmarks. The licence supports the company’s long-term goal of maintaining consistent product quality, operational reliability, and responsible content supply across multiple jurisdictions.

Company Perspectives

A spokesperson from the Legal Department commented: “We are pleased to receive our supplier licence in Ontario and to make our gaming content and solutions available. Following a comprehensive application process, we can now formally present this achievement as part of our regulated market presence.”

Viktoriia Andreasen, Head of Marketing, added: “Ontario stands out as a well-structured and highly organised jurisdiction. It represents an important regulated market with strong operational standards”.

Ontario supplier licence confirms that Platipus can deliver content in one of the world’s most tightly regulated iGaming markets, with all technical, operational, and compliance requirements addressed.

This milestone represents more than a geographic expansion. It signals that Platipus Gaming has structured processes, robust governance, and a compliance-focused development approach, supporting sustainable regulated operations and long-term market participation.
