GTECH to Showcase Video Lottery Solutions at NASPL Trade Show



WEST GREENWICH, R.I., Sept. 22  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GTECH Holdings
Corporation (NYSE:GTK) today announced that it will feature solutions from
recently-acquired video lottery provider Spielo at the North American
Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) Fall Conference and Trade
Show in Quebec City, Quebec, on October 5 - 9, 2004.  GTECH has successfully
completed the integration of Spielo into the Company's expanding global gaming
strategy, and this will be the first opportunity for existing and potential
lottery customers to see how GTECH and Spielo will operate as an integrated
company.

"We are looking forward to the opportunity of demonstrating the value this
acquisition can bring to our lottery customers and prospective customers," said
GTECH Senior Vice President of Gaming Solutions Marc A. Crisafulli.  "It will
be important for us to show how adding Spielo to GTECH expands our global
presence and distribution platform, enabling us to offer even more content and
hardware opportunities for our customers around the globe."

Spielo's popular gaming machines, Aura(TM) and PowerStation 5(TM), will be
showcased in Quebec, as well as its well-regarded library of exciting games
with an extensive number of unique titles on display.

GTECH sees video lottery as playing a significant role in the near future of
government-sanctioned lotteries.

"We believe that the video lottery business is positioned for high growth. That
growth will be driven by a number of factors, including the likelihood of U.S.
jurisdictions authorizing expanded gaming, the demand for video lottery in
overseas markets, and the increasing role of content replacement," continued
Mr. Crisafulli.  "With Spielo, GTECH is well-positioned to capture new business
and grow market share by leveraging our leadership position in the lottery
industry, government relations experience, global presence, and technological
skills."

Video lottery has been a key component to GTECH's growth strategy in recent
years.  Since 2001, GTECH has been awarded contracts to provide video lottery
central systems and/or products and services to customers in Rhode Island,
Oregon, Sweden, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, Trinidad &
Tobago, and, most recently, Jamaica.  Spielo is also in the process of
supplying the Oregon Lottery with 2,000 VLTs.  In addition, under GTECH's video
lottery contract in Jamaica, Spielo will provide approximately 125 VLTs to be
installed in Kingston initially, with the option by the customer to expand the
number of VLTs over time.

video equipment and games are providing more choices to GTECH's worldwide
lottery customers.
