PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND – May 8, 2009 - GTECH Corporation announced that it has signed a contract with Société de la Loterie de la Suisse Romande (LoRo) for the implementation of a comprehensive interactive gaming platform, following a competitive procurement process

Under the terms of the contract, GTECH will deploy its latest ES NEW MEDIA solution and provide four years of ongoing support services to LoRo, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009. In a multi-phased rollout, the system will offer traditional lottery style games such as EuroMillions, Swiss Lotto, and Instant games, as well as fixed odds games, horse racing (PMU) and other sports-betting games. Initially launching on the Internet, the system will also support the expansion of services across interactive television and mobile channels, in the future.

“LoRo has been a valued customer since 1994, and we have developed a partnership which has brought about mutually-beneficial innovations and increased revenues to support the good causes in the Romande region of Switzerland,” said GTECH President and CEO Jaymin B. Patel. “Over the past five years, GTECH has invested significant resources to develop a flexible, end-to-end eCommerce solution that positions lotteries for the future direction of interactive channels. ES NEW MEDIA combines the expertise from the commercial gaming sector gained through the acquisition of Finsoft, with GTECH’s proficiency in worldwide lottery technologies. We are grateful that LoRo continues to view us as a true partner as they enter the emerging New Media market segment.”

LoRo Managing Director Jean-Luc Moner-Banet said, “GTECH’s proposal offered a clear understanding of the issues in deploying a New Media platform. They proposed an eCommerce lottery solution that the assessment panel felt accurately addressed our needs and demonstrated a thorough comprehension of our New Media marketing business development plans and corporate social responsibility objectives. GTECH is a company that understands the gaming business and its social environment, and we look forward to working with them on this important new project.”

Proceeds generated from the new interactive system will increase the contributions LoRo provides to the Cantons, from efforts benefiting environmental causes and cultural events, to providing much-needed support for education and healthcare programs, among others.
