Momentum cloud platform to replace legacy tech across retail and digital channels, with an option to extend up to three more years.

Scientific Games has secured a new seven-year contract to modernize the Minnesota Lottery’s technology stack, replacing the lottery’s legacy system across its retail and digital networks. The agreement includes an option to renew for up to three additional years.

Under the deal, Scientific Games will deploy its cloud-based Momentum ecosystem, which the company says is designed to support omnichannel sales and performance. The rollout will include a systems conversion and new technology across the Minnesota Lottery’s retailer network.

“We took an innovative approach to selecting technology that would pave the way to the future and responsibly grow our contributions to programs that positively impact the lives of Minnesotans,” said Adam Prock, Executive Director, Minnesota Lottery. “We were seeking modern technology and a solution focused on service and partnership. Scientific Games was aligned with our vision for growth.”

Scientific Games said Momentum is anchored by its central gaming system, SciTrak Scratch games distribution system, gem | Intelligence retailer licensing and management portal, and INFUSE business intelligence platform. The Minnesota rollout also includes SCiQ digital menu boards, WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines, plus a second-chance digital promotions solution supported by the company’s CRM program.

Scientific Games said its systems technology has been selected by four North American lotteries in the past 18 months: Minnesota Lottery, Ohio Lottery, New Mexico Lottery and Loto-Québec. The Minnesota Lottery said it has generated more than $4 billion for state programs since 1990, including the environment, education, public safety and health and human services, and problem gambling.
