IGT in five-year Canada VLT deal

IGT subsidiary IGT Canada Solutions has signed a five-year contract extension with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation to deliver an enhanced version of IGT’s INTELLIGEN video lottery central system.

INTELLIGEN connects nearly 6,600 video lottery terminals (VLTs) throughout the Canadian province of Manitoba. This extension will run for five years following the final acceptance of the upgraded system.

“With IGT’s enhanced INTELLIGEN system, MBLL can easily access insight into the status and performance of its VLT network,” said Nick Khin, IGT senior vice president and COO, gaming.

“Developed to respond to the unique needs of our customers, INTELLIGEN supports the volume, complexity and security MBLL needs to operate its thousands of VLTs located throughout the region with confidence and efficiency.”

Under the terms of the extension, IGT will upgrade MBLL’s video lottery central system to the latest version of INTELLIGEN, which includes improved network diagnostics.

MBLL will also receive several iLINK Ultras, IGT’s latest retailer site controller that has a separate point-of-sale device and logic box for increased flexibility, and an updated user interface with improved features for the retailer.
