Scientific Games and Germany’s WestLotto technology teams are partnering to introduce camera-based retail technology to the Lottery’s retailers in Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The company’s high-performance Contour.v terminals are modernizing the retail lottery transaction, providing a more contemporary, transparent, and contactless experience for both retailers and players. Scientific Games will begin installing the Contour.v terminals across WestLotto's network of over 3,000 retail outlets starting in April 2025.
Andreas Kötter, Managing Director for Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG, stated, “Our collaboration with WestLotto’s long-term technology partner Scientific Games continues to modernize our retail network. The new camera-based terminals represent the next step in digitalizing transactions in our retail environments, and we anticipate a very positive response from our retailers as well as our players.”
Featuring contactless player interactions and mobile scanning features, the Contour.v terminals embody Scientific Games’ new-era optical technology. Contour.v was developed by the company as part of its latest line of high-performance Contour terminals to meet the evolving market demand in integrated lottery retail and digital environments.
The camera-based optical terminals boast an easily viewable and accessible ticket scan area and HD screens configurable for both clerk and player view. Contour.v was designed with durability and an unparalleled user experience in mind. A sleek, uni-body design eliminates unnecessary parts, ensuring the terminals are extremely reliable. Unique, advanced optics technology enhances the speed of service. The Contour.v terminals also offer easy processing and various options for ongoing software upgrades.
“WestLotto has always shown a strong focus on technology. Transitioning to new optical terminals is another example of innovative vision to modernize the lottery retail experience,” said Matthias Müller, VP of Sales & Marketing for Scientific Games. “We are delighted that WestLotto continues to trust Scientific Games’ technology and support services.”
The company has served WestLotto for over 25 years, providing the Lottery with its world-leading instant games, as well as a retailer management system, retail point-of-sale technology, iLottery, and sports betting.
