The company has been selected to provide its Intelligen VLT Central Information System to Greek lottery operator OPAP, one of Europe’s largest listed gaming companies.

GTECH was chosen from among four vendors in a competitive procurement process to provide OPAP’s VLT Central Information System to monitor and control up to 35,000 VLTs in the operator’s planned new network.

GTECH is expected to connect its Intelligen Central Information System to OPAP and concessionaire VLTs beginning in late 2014, following system certification by the Hellenic Gaming Commission.

“GTECH’s extensive experience deploying large-scale, open standards-based VLT Central Systems for World Lottery Association customers around the world will help OPAP maximise the benefits of its new VLT program,” said Walter Bugno, president and CEO of GTECH International. “Intelligen’s open-standards architecture and foundational features, including its integrated responsible gaming solution, will ensure the programme’s success and long-term sustainability, which ultimately benefit the people of Greece.”
