NEW YORK, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Scientific Games (Nasdaq: SGMS) has announced that it has been chosen by the Hoosier Lottery as the preferred bidder to negotiate an integrated Lottery Gaming System contract, which includes a full suite of online and instant ticket pass through systems, as well as a new range of lottery equipment, including the “next-generation” WAVE(TM) terminal. The contract begins August 2010, will have an initial term of six years, and will provide for four, one-year extension options. The contract was awarded after a competitive bid process with two other vendors, and base revenue to Scientific Games is expected to total approximately $12 million per year.

“We have enjoyed working with the Hoosier Lottery since 1998. We are excited to remain partners and look forward to achieving sales growth with them in the coming years,” said Joe Wright, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games. “We see this as an extremely powerful win for our Lottery Gaming System business, especially considering the strength of our competitors’ bids.”

Since inception in 1989, the Hoosier Lottery has returned $3.4 billion to help fund state programs including the Build Indiana Fund, the Teachers’ Retirement Fund and the Police & Fire fighters’ Pension Relief. Since 1989, the Build Indiana Fund has been used a significant portion of the $3.4 billion dollars to significantly reduce the amount Hoosiers pay for their motor vehicle excise tax.
