SCIENTIFIC GAMES ROLLS OUT MORE SCiQ® LOTTERY RETAIL TECHNOLOGY PILOTS WITH MAJOR RETAILERS IN NINE STATES

Intelligent Instant Game Ecosystem Takes Selling Instant Games to a Whole New Level

 LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA – September 17, 2018 – Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) (“Scientific Games” or the “Company”) announced that major national retailers continue piloting the Company’s new SCiQ® lottery instant game retail technology. The intuitive and easy-to-use SCiQ systems are available now in pilots in select stores in nine states, including a new 300-store rollout in Ohio.

 “Lottery instant games are an $87.5 billion a year global consumer product, including $50 billion sold in North America, and they are a major driver of consumer retail store visits. Now for the first time in the lottery industry, SCiQ offers unit-level technology that provides inventory control, security, speed-of-service, merchandising and simplified accounting functions for retailers,” said Jim Kennedy, Group Chief Executive, Lottery for Scientific Games. “SCiQ is set to revolutionize the way lottery products are sold at retail. We believe that the lottery retail environment will never be the same.”

 SCiQ is an intelligent instant game ecosystem developed by Scientific Games that modernizes how the instant game is sold at retail. It improves the performance of lottery products and eliminates existing challenges to selling lottery in retail stores. To sell lottery instant games using the SCiQ system, the retail sales associate simply selects the games the customer wants to purchase through the digital ordering screen, dispenses the games with the touch of a button, and gives the games to the customer. Scientific Games’ proprietary SCiQ technology automatically tracks every unit, providing lotteries and retailers greater visibility into the management and sales of instant games in real-time.

 For retail customers, SCiQ also brings the ease and convenience of mobile technology to retail lottery purchases. The SCiQ ecosystem offers user-friendly features that, depending on the options selected, can further speed the purchase process and even offer customers the ability to advance-order games before arriving at a lottery retail store.

 SCiQ is now operating as part of pilot programs in Arizona, Georgia, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas, with a 300-store production rollout currently underway in Ohio. 

Scientific Games provides games, technology, and services to more than 150 lotteries globally, including nearly every North American lottery. The company is the fastest growing lottery systems supplier in the U.S. and the world’s largest supplier of lottery instant games.
