International Game Technology PLC announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has signed a seven-year contract with the Colorado Lottery to install all-new world-class products and solutions. The contract is expected to run through July 12, 2032, and includes seven, one-year extension options.

As part of the new contract, the Colorado Lottery will receive IGT’s Aurora central system, replacing the current lottery central system. Aurora is part of IGT’s OMNIA integrated lottery solution, which will provide the Lottery with new insights through a single player view, which can enhance its product portfolio and improve marketing communications while delivering Colorado Lottery players with a true omnichannel experience.

“We are looking forward to replacing our current equipment with IGT’s most advanced technology, providing more convenient options for players and achieving continued sales growth and funding Colorado’s great outdoors,” Tom Seaver, Director of Colorado Lottery, said.

“IGT is thrilled to continue working with the Colorado Lottery and delivering high-performing products that will contribute to growing its business. OMNIA, along with the upgrades to retailer equipment and new mobile convenience app, will provide the Lottery with actionable data and tools to manage daily operations and offer players with enhanced retail and mobile experiences,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.

Additionally, IGT will upgrade all lottery retailer equipment across the State and deploy a new mobile convenience app featuring Scan and Redeem functionality. IGT’s Scan and Redeem solution will enable Colorado Lottery players to scan a draw-based or instant scratch ticket with their mobile app to redeem winnings directly into their linked bank account, via automated clearing house (ACH) transfer.
