GTECH to Supply 2,400 Instant Ticket Vending Machines (ITVMs) for
the Pennsylvania Lottery 


WEST GREENWICH, R.I., April 18  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GTECH Holdings
Corporation (NYSE:GTK) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, GTECH
Corporation, has received an order for 2,400 Instant Ticket Vending Machine
(ITVM) from Scientific Games Corporation, who will, in turn, lease the ITVMs to
the Pennsylvania Lottery and provide ongoing services.  The new 24- bin
Expandable Dispensing System Quad Burster(TM) (EDS-Q) ITVMs are scheduled for
delivery beginning in May of this year.  The majority of the 2,400 ITVMs will
replace machines already in the field with the remainder being placed in new
locations.  GTECH expects to receive approximately $22 million in revenue from
the sale of these machines.

"This ITVM order for the Pennsylvania Lottery, combined with other positive
trends in our business, such as our recent gaming central system win in
Pennsylvania, is a strong endorsement of our technological capabilities," said
GTECH President and CEO W. Bruce Turner.

Interlott Technologies, which GTECH acquired in 2003, has provided ITVM
products to the Pennsylvania Lottery since 1997.  Under the terms of its
contract with the Pennsylvania Lottery, Scientific Games is required to supply
and service the EDS-Q machines.  This is the second such order from Scientific
Games in the last two years.  The first order was for 1,050 24-bin EDS-Q
machines.
