| “Raise The Stakes and its integration of the Social Instants™ program highlights the Michigan Lottery’s innovative spirit and Pollard Banknote’s commitment to the development and use of technology-based solutions that support the retail network,” said Doug Pollard, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Pollard Banknote. “This game, with its use of social media’s word-of-mouth influence, has great potential to attract new players, particularly those in the elusive 18 to 34 year-old demographic. It does this while driving players back to retail outlets for purchase and to claim prizes, thereby capitalizing on the Lottery’s biggest asset, their retail network.” |
| "Scientific Games has been successfully serving our Lottery for many years and we believe its innovative products and services have been a key factor in our growth," said Dr. Kalman Szentpetery , Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Szerencsejatek Zrt. "We are impressed by the WAVE terminal and the AEGIS NGS system appears to be the best performing lottery system available today. Scientific Games has delivered once again and we believe it will continue to help our lottery grow." |
| The Lottery faces long-term concerns from competing casinos in Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, Director Musgrave said. “We don’t have a huge population, so it’s difficult to grow customers. You have to bring them in from across state borders, and that’s becoming more and more difficult,” he said. |
| “FDJ has the largest gaming network in France, with 26.3 million players in over 34,300 retail outlets at the end of 2012,” said Gilles Maillet, Sales Director at FDJ. “The terminal is the link between players, retailers and FDJ. After successful testing on scratch and draw games in 1,300 outlets, FDJ has decided to roll out the ELITE terminal in more than 25,000 outlets over the next two years.” |
