IGT Congratulates Keith Cash for Induction into Lottery Industry Hall of Fame
International Game Technology PLC announced that Keith Cash, the Company’s Vice President and General Manager of Global Instant Tickets will be inducted into the Lottery Industry Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2023. Cash will be honored later this year at an event hosted by the Public Gaming Research Institute (PGRI).
“Keith Cash is an experienced lottery executive whose critical leadership of IGT’s instant product operations have not only benefitted our company, but the entire lottery industry by broadening the competitive landscape. He is committed to the individual success of our many long-term customers and partners with them throughout all aspects of service from game design, to managing production, to delivery. Keith is a respected leader with a clear vision for contributing to the achievements within the industry, and we are very proud that he is being recognized as an inductee to this year’s Lottery Industry Hall of Fame,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.
“Being inducted into the Class of 2023 Lottery Industry Hall of Fame is an incredible honor, especially joining so many of my talented peers for this recognition. When I first began working in this industry more than 30 years ago, I never imagined the career trajectory that I was embarking upon. Throughout these years, I have had the great privilege to collaborate with so many colleagues around the globe to help drive the success of the lottery industry and contributions to good causes,” said Cash.
In his current role, Cash leads a team of more than 400 people supporting the core growth of IGT’s instant ticket products and services, while continuing to build its customer base with new instant ticket services contracts. He has played a pivotal role with several lottery startups, including most recently working with the Mississippi Lottery to flawlessly lead the implementation of IGT instant ticket products.
In addition to his daily responsibilities overseeing all instant ticket operations, Cash serves as the Executive Sponsor of WIN: Lakeland, IGT’s Women’s Inclusion Network diversity, equity, and inclusion group. He is also a mentor in the IGT Mentorship Program and serves on the IGT Responsible Gaming Advisory Group.
Cash first began his career in the lottery industry more than 30 years ago when he worked night shift on the manufacturing floor of Dittler Brothers, an instant ticket manufacturer. He then moved on to Scientific Games where he was hired in a similar role. Over his 22 years at Scientific Games, Cash advanced through the ranks of the company, including positions in production control, customer service, project management, account management, sales and eventually became Vice President of Operations.

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the North American iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced that its hosting solutions are ready to launch in Alberta, Canada. Internet Vikings’ infrastructure and operational processes already align with the province’s expected requirements, meaning the company can help operators enter the Alberta market faster and with greater confidence.
The expansion comes following the release of updated hosting, infrastructure, and security requirements by the AGLC. As Alberta prepares to open its market, operators and suppliers are facing strict requirements around cybersecurity and disaster recovery.
Internet Vikings’ experience supporting regulated operators across North America positions the company to help businesses comply with these operational and regulatory requirements efficiently from day one.
Requirements include adherence to internationally recognized security standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. In addition, operators are expected to maintain disaster recovery environments, encrypted immutable backups, and perform routine recovery testing to ensure business continuity.
“We are ready to provide the infrastructure and local expertise operators need to launch and scale successfully. We are already working with operators preparing for launch and understand the urgency involved in getting compliant infrastructure deployed quickly,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings.
Internet Vikings first established operations in Ontario in 2022 and is now expanding its Canadian footprint into Alberta with hosting solutions, including VMware cloud hosting, bare metal servers, bare metal GPU servers, disaster recovery, and backup solutions.
