International Game Technology (IGT) announced Tuesday that its subsidiary IGT Global Solutions Corporation has signed an agreement to deliver iLottery content through its remote gaming server (RGS) to the Michigan Lottery.
Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery, said: “The integration of IGT’s advanced RGS will provide the Michigan Lottery and its players with an extensive library of premium iLottery content, diversifying the Lottery’s portfolio with well-known eInstants and omnichannel themes.”
“As a leader in this space, the Michigan Lottery has built a robust iLottery offering from the ground up, and IGT is thrilled that we can contribute to its continued success through the launch of our games,” he added.

The Michigan Lottery is the fourth lottery in the U.S. to have access to IGT’s portfolio of eInstants, following iLottery programs in Georgia, Kentucky, and Rhode Island. IGT’s games are set to be made available to Michigan players “soon.”
Srini Nedunuri, IGT Vice President, Global iLottery, added: “IGT has a proven track record of partnering with global lotteries to grow their iLottery sales and we are excited to deliver high-quality eInstant games to the Michigan Lottery.”
“The addition of player-favorite IGT retail games in a digital format and exceptional licensed brands will help strengthen the Lottery’s eInstants library and provide engaging content to its players,” added Nedunuri.
IGT was named Lottery Supplier of the Year at the 2022 SBC Awards North America earlier this month in New York. The industry recognition reinforces IGT’s “global lottery industry leadership,” according to the business.
In 2021, IGT debuted its iLottery Showcase portal to support current and prospective customers with features such as eInstants, game assets, and case studies through what the company describes as one convenient, secure website.
IGT also delivers a seamless omnichannel experience with its standardized APIs and native integration with retail central systems. This enables lotteries “to offer the same games they sell at retail in a digital format,” the company claims.
