Kazakhstan National Lottery gets a boost from Scientific Games

Kazakhstan National Lottery has tapped the services of New York-listed game technology provider Scientific Games Corp. as its exclusive lottery supplier.

In a disclosure to Nasdaq, Scientific Games announced that it plans to introduce instant, scratch and draw-based games to some 3,000 retailers in Kazakhstan as the exclusive supplier to the national lottery.

JSC Satty Zhuldyz operates Kazakhstan National Lottery under a 15-year contract awarded in February 2017. Alexander Ten, president of Satty Zhuldyz, said Scientific Games’ offerings will enable them “to bring the fun and entertainment of lottery to the Republic of Kazakhstan.”

In addition to the enormous entertainment value for players, Ten hoped that the lottery will deliver important revenue to the government to support the Kazakhstan Ministry of Sports and Culture, including the Kazakhstan Olympic team.
