Gtech chosen for Polish Gambling Market

Jul 22, 2010
New deal with Totalizator Sportowy Sp. could be an advantage for G2 if progress on internet gambling is made.

The announcement this week that gaming technology and services firm GTech Corporation has been chosen to provide a 'wide array' of lottery technology and ongoing services to Polish lottery operator Totalizator Sportowy Sp., carries with it the implication that company subsidiaries like G2 could be well positioned to exploit possible future internet gambling developments in the country.

Totalizator Sportowy is a government-owned firm based in Warsaw, and the seven-year contract was awarded following a competitive procurement process. Operations are scheduled to commence in December of 2011, and the agreement contains three one-year extension options.

GTech is building on a business relationship with Totalizator Sportowy's online lottery that has seen it provide technology and services since 1991.

The new deal will see GTech provide the Polish firm with a 'comprehensive set of solutions including a central system conversion to the company's Enterprise Series' alongside approximately 12,500 GT1200 terminals while the existing communications network is to be upgraded 'utilising the latest Internet protocol technologies'.

GTech is also set to install its Enterprise Series MultiMedia technology in order to allow Totalizator Sportowy to manage, distribute and display multimedia content including games, advertising, transactions and messaging through a single point of control.

Finally, the gambling technology firm will supply Totalizator Sportowy with its Internet protocol-based Enterprise Series Connect software, which is a high volume and open standards network interface that allows a lottery's transaction processing engine to connect with a multitude of sales channels and devices.
