"The strong second quarter results reflect continued global Lottery expansion that is accentuated by disciplined expense management," said Marco Sala, CEO of IGT.

The North America Gaming installed base grew sequentially, and we have a compelling roster of new, for-sale video reel games coming to market in the second half. The strong start to the year gives us confidence we can achieve our 2018 strategic and financial goals."

"Our results for the quarter were in line with our guidance, driven by solid participation revenue, growth in Virtual Sports, and reduced overhead expenses," said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired Entertainment. "Most importantly, our high-margin Virtual Sports business, which includes Interactive, delivered a great underlying performance, increasing 11.0% on a functional currency basis."
