LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") today announced that the New Mexico Lottery Authority (the "Lottery") has awarded the Company an eight-year contract to provide instant products and services, and a two-year loyalty rewards program. With the new contract, Scientific Games becomes the New Mexico Lottery's primary provider of instant games and related services, including research and lottery sales force training. As part of the contract, the Company will also continue to provide technology, content and services for the Lottery's Points and Rewards/Second-Chance Promotions program.

As the primary instant games provider, Scientific Games will provide the New Mexico Lottery with a comprehensive instant products program beginning with review of the entire instant product portfolio, as well as game performance analysis, new game development and retail execution. Players in New Mexico will continue to enjoy the fun and entertainment of favorite games from the Company such as Betty Boop™ and MONOPOLY™, as well as new innovative holiday second-chance opportunities like last season's Holiday Dash Promotion, which helped increase the Lottery's VIP Club membership 10.5 percent.

"Scientific Games is honored to be selected as the leading instant game partner for the New Mexico Lottery. We will help the Lottery develop a high-performing portfolio of instant games supported by one of the industry's most engaging loyalty and rewards programs," said John Schulz, Senior Vice President, Instant Products at Scientific Games.
