Lottery Commission Approves Central System Contract;
System will Monitor Electronic Gaming

TOPEKA, KAN. – The Kansas Lottery Commission today approved a contract with GTECH Corporation to supply and operate the central system that will monitor electronic gaming machines at up to six Lottery Gaming Facilities in Kansas. The contract, which is expected to generate revenues to GTECH of approximately $20 million over the 10-year contract term, follows a competitive procurement process.

Under terms of the contract, GTECH, working with its subsidiary SPIELO Manufacturing, will install a video central system and provide ongoing services to the Kansas Lottery, including operation and maintenance of the system. The system is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2009. The system will allow the Kansas Lottery to monitor individual electronic gaming machines, in real time, and support in-house and wide-area progressive electronic gaming machines.

The central system will be paid for by the managers of the Lottery Gaming Facilities.
