​KEEPING THE BALANCE IN A CHANGING WORLD

Picture


IGT’s 15th annual Sustainability Report
reveals the many ways sustainable thinking has become engrained in the company’s culture and operations.     One historic home in San Francisco’s Presidio national park has an illuminating story to tell about how a global organization can integrate a sustainable mindset. Constructed in the nineteenth century, the wood-frame building on Funston Avenue has been repurposed as the new headquarters for IGT’s PlayDigital business unit—chosen purposefully to create the sense of a home base for the widely dispersed global team. Interior spaces have been set up with dedicated areas and equipment to facilitate an ever-changing mix of virtual and inperson collaboration, making it a common centering point, even for those who live and work far from the Bay Area. “We’re spread across the globe, and we wanted a space that can make all of us feel like part of something—part of a family,” said Enrico Drago, IGT CEO Digital & Betting. “We’re translating this concept to a company house, a space that allows us to be more collaborative and creative.”


Creating a Winning eInstant Player Experience   
In a presentation at the recent European Lottery Industry Days in Germany, IGT’s Srini Nedunuri, Vice President Global iLottery, shared video clips of recent player interviews and recommendations on how to create a winning eInstant player experience. Some clear themes emerged from the players, who offered insights in their own words on various topics, including what attracts them to an eInstant game and how they like to win. Players said they play for fun and entertainment, are attracted to catchy game titles, colorful graphics, and love bonus games and winning surprises. Some reported that they like the chance to win bigger prizes, and others like to win more frequently as they play. Given the diverse player segments, each lottery needs a balanced portfolio that includes a variety of games. With its data-driven game design and portfolio management approach, IGT understands what games resonate with the different player segments. The company partners with lotteries to utilize game performance data and IGT’s eInstant formula for success to develop games and recommend the right game portfolios.

The Players PROJECT LIVE                      PLAY ON

Two years after the onset of the COVID crisis, consumers face rapidly rising prices and renewed economic uncertainty. However, there is evidence to suggest that small, entertaining indulgences like lottery play remain important to people in challenging times. This insight was among many findings and observations that IGT shared in a recent keynote presentation at the European Lotteries (EL) Industry Days in Germany. The latest installment in IGT’s multi-year Players Project series, the live event welcomed behavioral scientist Owain Service, who joined IGT’s Srini Nedunuri, Vice President Global iLottery, to lift the lid on consumers’ current attitudes and sentiments toward lottery. “The freedoms that consumers expected to enjoy after the end of the pandemic have been replaced by new fears as they feel the economic squeeze and have to stretch their budgets further to accommodate rising prices,” said Nedunuri. “But recent research by IGT and our partners at global trendspotting agency Foresight Factory has uncovered some perhaps surprisingly good news for the industry.”The Players Project LIVE    PLAY ON    When the realities of life are challenging, consumers want moments of light relief from their everyday routine. New insights reveal that lottery remains one of their bright spots.

 INFINITE INNOVATION
​Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and West Virginia   lead the way in offering a new player experience through the   ​remarkable possibilities of IGT’s Infinity Instants™ games.

https://publicgaming.com/PUBLICGAMINGMARCHAPRIL2022/PGIMARCHAPRILARTICLES/INFINITEINNOVATION.pdf​

If you were tuning-in to watch your favorite TV show, would you rather view it on a black-and-white set with “bunny-ears”  antennae or on a full-color 4K ultra-high definition  screen?
Lottery players might naturally ask  themselves a similar question when it comes  to the games they love. Scratch tickets drove  about 68% of total retail U.S. lottery sales in 2021,  a 15% increase over 2020.
And, like the medium of  television, this enduringly popular form of lottery  entertainment must continue to evolve to retain  players and add new ones. 
​ IGT’s new Infinity Instants™ games advance the  instant-play experience by leaps and bounds  with patented digital printing technologies unlike any other in the industry.

IGT’s Srini Nedunuri, Vice President PlayLottery, shares his view on digitizing the lottery player experience. 

Would you be surprised to hear that 83% of Americans use their mobile phone as an alarm clock? According to a recent study by Reviews.org, the phone is literally the first item most of the nation reaches for in the morning. Knowing that, it’s easy to envision all the other ways we’ve become reliant on mobile technology. We use our phones not only to wake up but to watch our favorite shows, order food, and purchase items online and at retail. To speed up the purchase transaction at my local coffee shop, I simply tap to pay, and to make things even easier for me, the reward points are automatically applied to my account. Mobile has become so powerful that many of us use it for virtually everything.

​CRUISING INTO THE TOP 10​

Picture
Michigan’s instants business is firing on all cylinders. The Lottery’s commitment to innovate and its collaboration on strategy with longtime partner IGT has produced seven-year, double-digit growth, propelling the state from number 22 to number 7 in U.S. instant sales.
​Advancing from number 22 into the top 10 in U.S. per capita instants sales isn’t an easy or common move. Michigan accomplished that feat in the past five years by taking a broad view of its instants business and pursuing improvements on multiple fronts with longtime strategicplanning partner IGT. From instant ticket planning and prize structure optimization to planogram development and changes in launch cadence, the improvements were extensive, but the key to success wasn’t any single initiative. It was all the Lottery’s actions working in concert to drive responsible and sustained growth. Today, Michigan is among the country’s fastest-growing lotteries, with seven years of double-digit instants growth and corresponding growth in gross profits in support of the state’s education programs.

​IGT research from 2020 shows that in North America 55% of slot players and 68% of online slot players who play weekly or more often, also purchase a lottery product in a given week. With the high crossover between lottery and casino, creating content for multiple product verticals helps ensure that operators can offer players more of what they enjoy. With 40 years of experience creating successful games for markets around the globe – from instant scratch tickets and digital instant win games to land-based and online slot content – IGT offers a vast content library that consumers enjoy playing at retail, in casinos, and online. IGT’s game portfolio features both proprietary brands and licensed thirdparty brands, which are leveraged across channels to meet player demand. For example, some of IGT’s proprietary slot brands are available as both retail and digital lottery games. Lotteries can choose from instant tickets, Fast Play, and digital instant wins to allow their players to interact with their favorites across multiple channels.

THE SELF-SERVICE
EVOLUTION


Taking self-service to the next level
doesn’t require revolution or reinvention.
The most financially beneficial
approach applies the full range
of available solutions for optimal
and responsible lottery sales.
Click here to read this article


“Rolling out self-service might seem simple – and we do so much behind the scenes to make it simple for retailers, customers, and players. But there are a lot of different levers to facilitate the optimal, growth-driving solution for a customer and retailer,” says Gina Easley, IGT Senior Manager National Chain Accounts.

More than any one device or feature, what takes self-service to the next level is the partnership between lotteries, retailers, vendors, and the on-site people involved in deploying the right combination of products and services.

“When we started down the path with the world’s largest retailer a few years ago, they agreed to test IGT vending machines in their Neighborhood Markets in Florida,” says Easley.

“It moved the needle – validating the potential. And as a result of that trial, the retailer’s input, and our own R&D, IGT developed the award-winning GameTouch™ 20, a vending machine now being deployed in more than 70% of the retailer’s lottery-selling Supercenters in the U.S.”

IGT will have about 1,300 GameTouch 20 machines installed in Supercenters across 10 states by the end of 2019.

The GameTouch 20 is part of a full range of IGT self-service products to accommodate different retail environments. “But, once you have the right product, a lottery still has to heavily support the retailer to make it successful,” notes Easley. (See following pages.) IGT provided a combination of consultancy
services, retail support, and aggregated data analytics.

Stepping Up To Stay Ahead
Click here to read
To support sustainability within and beyond the gaming industry, IGT is expanding its corporate citizenship to participate in a set of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Here are some of the other ways that IGT has worked to stay ahead of the game and foster sustainability in the past year:
Recognizing We Are Stronger Together IGT values diversity and inclusion, important drivers of innovation and growth. In 2017, we expanded our Executive Diversity & Inclusion Council to meet the evolving needs of our customers, our people, and our communities.
Staying Mindful of Our Resource Use Our teams around the world collaborated to enlarge the scope of the sites included in IGT’s environmental data-collection tool, one of the reasons why IGT has been recognized by the CDP as a leader in addressing climate change.
Supporting Responsible Gaming The collective efforts of the Company’s global Responsible Gaming Working Group made IGT the only vendor with distinct industry certifications for responsible gaming across the Lottery, Digital, and Gaming segments.
Helping to Build A Better Future IGT has made education a top priority in our community support, collaborating with schools and colleges on a wide range of initiatives, including the launch of a Women’s Entrepreneurship Program in Costa Rica in 2017. Through our After School Advantage program, IGT has built more than 300 digital-learning centers since 1999 to support at-risk children in gaining competitive skills.
Ensuring Security & Engaging with Customers to Drive Growth IGT keeps well over 100 billion transactions safe annually with cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies. Through dialogue with customers, we focus our research and development on products and services that engage players and help transform the gaming world.​

IGT is committed to helping our customers and communities stay ahead of the game with sustainable practices that reflect our values.”

Instant Appeal
Instant games have been the most significant driver of growth for lotteries in recent years and continue to represent a great opportunity globally to drive profits and transfers to good causes.  Click here to read

​Among the many drivers of lottery growth, optimizing the instant category stands out for its proven track record and further high potential. Instant products represented more than 89% of U.S. lottery sales growth between 2012 and 2017 ($10.9 billion out of $12.2 billion of total lottery growth1 ). The category currently generates about 60% of total U.S. lottery sales and contributes to about 50% of gross gaming yield and net player spend.2 The benefits to lotteries from optimizing instants can be both substantial in size and quickly brought to market. For example, in the first year of IGT’s lottery management operations in the U.S., we partnered with our lottery customers and grew instant sales by 28.3% in Illinois (FY 2012), 14.1% in Indiana (FY 2014), and 11% in New Jersey (FY 2015).3 Instants represent a great development opportunity in the international space as well. In Italy, IGT’s Lottomatica grew instant sales of Gratta e Vinci by 207% in its first full year of management (from 2004 to 2005).4 Bringing international markets to the same share of instant sales already achieved by U.S. lotteries could generate more than $34 billion in incremental sales. With this in mind, what is the best way to go about optimizing and growing the category?

 ​TAKING CARE OF BIZNESS - Click here to read this article

  Several years ago, as our team was  setting out to develop a more effective way to communicate and share data with the lottery retailer network we managed, we recognized that we could expand our vision.   Not only could we bring vital information, training, and inventory management tools to retailers’ fingertips, we could offer lotteries something that wasn’t available in the industry: a full set of business intelligence tools that provide all lottery stakeholders with a range of solutions to identify growth opportunities, support execution, and save time and resources across all lottery touch points. From experience in Illinois, Indiana, and New Jersey, and as part of a larger team that manages lotteries in jurisdictions around the globe, we saw from an operator perspective that the available tools didn’t always alleviate the pain points associated with the lottery category. Since that time, IGT has fulfilled the original vision with a synchronized suite of nimble, user-friendly applications that lottery employees, sales staffs, and retailers can deploy to inform smarter, fact-based decisions and propel the actions that drive sales. These state-of-the-art applications – or   BizApps – were shaped and are continually refined with extensive input from customers, retailers, sales reps, focus groups, user studies, and IGT’s lottery operational teams, who know the ins and outs of performance analytics, sales-force and retailer-network management, and the challenges faced by a telesales team aiming to drive same store sales. In a first for the industry, lotteries can now choose from a coordinated suite of smart and open business intelligence tools to manage the activities that drive growth.
