"Rhode Island has become one of the most successful lotteries in the country in terms of the revenues and returns it produces for the state's small size and population and we are delighted to establish a new partnership with them," said Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Games. "By combining the proven experience of the Rhode Island Lottery's highly skilled and talented management team with our extensive background and innovative games, we believe we can improve on this success."
In fiscal 2006, the Rhode Island Lottery produced $1.7 billion in sales and returned $323 million to the state's general fund.
