Scientific Games won a new, three-year contract extension from La Franҫaise des Jeux, a leading betting and gaming player worldwide. FDJ made its selection based on a competitive invitation to tender. The contract award extends a highly successful relationship that began in 1989. Most recently, FDJ and Scientific Games collaborated to develop and market the unique iDecide product, connecting the retail and digital lottery experience to increase player engagement.

Patrick Buffard, Chief French Lottery and Retail Sportsbetting Business Unit Officer, said: “We are delighted to renew our long-standing partnership spanning four decades. Our scratch game products represent the largest segment in the FDJ portfolio, with more than 27 million players. Operating in a sustainable and responsible manner is a purpose that guides everything we do, and we are confident that Scientific Games will continue to help us achieve our goals and stay true to the historic values of FDJ.”

Scientific Games was selected by FDJ based on the company’s commitment to protecting the environment, alignment with FDJ’s goals to reduce the lottery industry’s carbon footprint with ecologically friendly products and production methods, and global leadership in delivering sustainable growth for lotteries in a responsible manner.

Kevin Anderson, VP, Global Strategic Accounts EMEA for Scientific Games, said: “Scientific Games is honored to continue our partnership with FDJ and reaffirm our commitment to deliver high quality, environmentally friendly products in a proven, efficient manner to lottery operations in Europe.”

One of the first companies to be certified by the World Lottery Association as a Responsible Gaming Supplier, Scientific Games continues to research and advocate for the healthy enjoyment of lottery games through the company’s award-winning Healthy Play toolkit.

International Game Technology PLC announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation, has signed a three-year contract with La Française des Jeux (FDJ), the operator of the French National Lottery, to deliver innovative instant ticket games. The contract was awarded following a competitive procurement process, and reflects a longstanding partnership between IGT and FDJ, built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to global sustainability.

An important element in IGT securing the FDJ contract was IGT’s dedication to responsible business practices across its global operations which are in alignment with FDJ’s business goals and sustainability priorities. These practices include sourcing paper from FSC-certified suppliers, using non-toxic inks and coatings and implementing processes designed to reduce emissions, ensuring environmentally conscious production without compromising innovation or quality of the tickets.

“In renewing our instant ticket contract for the coming three years, we were extremely interested in securing a partner who understands our business ambitions and shares our commitment to social and environmental responsibility,” said Patrick Buffard, Chief French Lottery and Retail Sports Betting Business Unit Officer.

“IGT has established a strong understanding of FDJ’s goals, and a keen awareness of its growth opportunities and sustainability commitments throughout our decades-long partnership. IGT’s new three-year instant ticket printing contract with FDJ enables us to continue our collaboration, by leveraging our state-of-the-art printing facility and diverse game portfolio to meet FDJ’s needs. We are committed to extending FDJ’s business success with our compelling instant ticket games and strong focus on Sustainable Play,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery.

Under the terms of the agreement, FDJ will have access to IGT’s full suite of engaging instant ticket games, including its revolutionary Infinity Instants games, IGT’s digital instant ticket printing platform that provides unprecedented flexibility in the design, production and marketing of instant games. IGT and FDJ will continue providing innovative player experiences, supported by responsible and sustainable business practices.

In addition to supplying instant tickets, IGT has served as the primary lottery central system supplier to FDJ since 2000 and provides FDJ with its central system hardware, instant ticket vending machines and ongoing technology support and maintenance.
