Scientific Games introduces enhanced technology systems for Arizona Lottery sales

Scientific Games has expanded its collaboration with the Arizona Lottery to introduce a new series of technology system upgrades for sales across the state, designed to enhance player experience and “bring fresh energy” to the organization’s classic draw game lineup. 

"Our teams have been working hard behind the scenes with the Scientific Games teams, and we are thrilled to see this project come to life. The changes to our draw games will give our players bigger value, more ways to play and even more chances to win," Arizona Lottery Executive Director Alec Thomson said. 

"Ultimately, the advanced technology ecosystem modernizes our operations and positions the Arizona Lottery for future growth."

Scientific Games also upgraded The Pick contest and added a daily midday drawing, new Pick Four game and a Powerball Double Pay add-on as part of the technological advancements. 

The expanded partnership with Arizona Lottery features Scientific Games’ Momentum ecosystem, which includes a central gaming system and retailer management system.

Scientific Games President of Americas & Global Instant Products John Schulz also spoke on the new launch, having said, "As the Arizona Lottery's systems technology partner since 2015, Scientific Games is focused on readying the Lottery for long-term sustainability through advanced systems and software and exciting new products that engage players and drive proceeds to the good cause programs that benefit Arizonans.”

The supplier has collaborated with the Arizona Lottery for 45 years, including Scratchers games and licensed brands.

Scientific Games named Ray Anderson as Interim CFO following the departure of former CFO Nick Negro, who left the supplier on May 15 after three years serving in the role.

Anderson brings more than 30 years of finance and audit experience to Scientific Games, primarily through leadership positions at KPMG in the US, Europe and Asia.
