Scientific Games to Upgrade Delaware Lottery
Set for implementation in early 2006, the new AEGIS-Video(TM) system is valued at $3.8 million over the remainder of the contract, bringing the total value of the contract to $18 million. It will run for 45 months, starting May 1, 2006, with five single-year extension options that could extend it into early 2015.
"With more than 6,500 VLTs at Dover Downs, Delaware Park and the Harrington Raceway, we have been responsible for monitoring and controlling some of the most successful racinos in the country," said Wayne Lemons, Director of the Delaware Lottery. "We've been happy with the performance of our existing Scientific Games system and with the enhancements in AEGIS-Video(TM). The system will easily manage our existing slots and accommodate the addition of new SAS gaming machines that we expect to bring online next year."
"The Delaware Lottery has long relied on system technology from Scientific Games. We are excited about upgrading their control and monitor system to our latest open architectured system that will provide them the most flexible and robust tools available," said Brennen Lawrence, Vice President and General Manager of Video Gaming Systems of Scientific Games. "AEGIS-Video(TM) is implemented using industry standard technologies, the same technologies that Scientific Games used in the AEGIS On-line Lottery System.
"The Delaware Lottery has one of the most efficient VLT operations in the United States and we're pleased that they are confident AEGIS-Video offers the solutions for their continued growth. AEGIS-Video(TM) provides a comprehensive set of gaming functionality that includes a complete suite of security mechanisms to ensure the integrity of the Delaware Video Lottery program."
Scientific Games has been the solution provider to the Delaware Lottery since 1995. In the decade since it was launched, Delaware Video Lottery has contributed more than $1 billion to the state's General Fund.
