Forsyth's Scientific Games Hosts Technology Executives, Workers on a Field Trip

More than 100 members of the Technology Association of Georgia visited the lottery industry company.

Scientific Games Corp. recently hosted more than 100 members from the Technology Association of Georgia at an exclusive visit to see where the company creates and prints all of those instant scratch lottery tickets and its U.S. systems technology.

One of TAG’s quarterly Field Trips to technology businesses in the state, the visit to the company’s Global Lottery Center of Excellence north of Atlanta offered members a rare, behind-the-scenes view of Scientific Games’ highly secure global lottery technology and game design operation.

Since introducing the world’s very first secure instant scratch lottery game in 1974, for the last 40 years Scientific Games has worked to create innovative technology and program solutions to drive performance for lotteries and regulated gaming organizations around the world—and ultimately increase returns for their government beneficiaries such as the Georgia Lottery’s HOPE Scholarship and Georgia Pre-K Program.

“Scientific Games has been the Georgia Lottery’s primary instant game provider since the Lottery’s inception in 1993,” said Tom Schroeder, senior attorney for the Georgia Lottery who helped welcome TAG members to the field trip. “This fiscal year, the Georgia Lottery celebrated a record-breaking $2.6 billion in instant game sales and $927 million in contributions to education in the state. We are proud to partner with a global company that has operations right here in Georgia.”

“As Georgia continues economic and job creation initiatives under the leadership of Gov. Nathan Deal, Scientific Games is proud to be a part of the State’s robust technology infrastructure, talented workforce and pro-business climate,” said Jim Kennedy, executive vice president and group chief executive of Lottery for Scientific Games. “It’s organizations like the Technology Association of Georgia that make our state an ideal place to work in technology and innovation.”
