LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") was awarded a new, three-year contract to provide instant games to LOTTO Thüringen (the "Lottery") in central Germany. The Company won the contract, which may be extended one additional year, following a competitive procurement process based on its value added products and services including digital instant games, or 'eInstants', which the Lottery plans to launch in 2021.

Jochen Staschewski, LOTTO Thüringen CEO, said, "We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Scientific Games and the sustainable growth of instant game revenues in Thuringia.

John Schulz, Scientific Games Senior VP of Instant Products, said, "We have offered LOTTO Thüringen instant game products with value adds that have proven ability to responsibly increase revenue for our lottery customers around the world. The potential of instant games, sold both at retail and online/mobile, is not fully realized in Europe however they are the biggest and most successful lottery product category in the U.S. and still growing."

U.S.-based Scientific Games launched the world's first secure retail instant game in 1974, and is currently the primary instant game provider to the Top 10 performing instant game lotteries in the world based on per capita sales.
