Scientific Games to update German lottery technology

In partnership with Germany’s WestLotto, Scientific Games is set to introduce transaction technology to 3,000 retail outlets throughout North Rhine-Westphalia.

Contour.v terminals will be installed in Germany’s most populous state, boosting contactless payments, mobile scanning features and ease-of use for both players and retailers.

The camera-based optical terminals feature an easily viewable and accessible ticket scan area and HD screens configurable for both clerk and player view.

“Our work with WestLotto’s longtime technology partner Scientific Games continues to modernise our retail network,” said Andreas Kötter, managing director for Westdeutsche Lotterie.

“The new camera-based terminals are the next step toward digitalising transactions in our retail environments, and we anticipate a very positive reaction from our retailers as well as our players.”

Scientific Games  is a supplier to all 16 lotteries in Germany, having served WestLotto for more than 25 years and currently provides the lottery with instant games, as well as a retailer management system, retail point-of-sale technology, ilottery and sports betting.
