PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND - (October 08, 2008) - GTECH Printing Corporation (GPC) announced that it has been chosen by the Kansas Lottery for instant-ticket printing services, under a secondary five-year contract, expiring in August 2013. The signed contract also provides for three one-year extension options, and is the result of a competitive procurement. GPC has been providing the Kansas Lottery with instant tickets since purchasing Creative Games International in early 2007, and has produced more than 17 games for the Lottery in the last eight months.

"This is a great opportunity for us to service the Kansas Lottery in a wider capacity, and to be assessed as a high-quality, instant-ticket supplier in a competitive environment," said Ross Dalton, GTECH Senior Vice President of Printed Products and Licensed Content. "This award demonstrates the Kansas Lottery's confidence in the quality of our products and creative execution. They value our commitment to superior customer service, responsiveness, and attention to detail."

GPC will initially manufacture the tickets at its printing facility in Plant City, Florida; however, the Lottery is very excited about GPC's new press and how it will translate into even faster turnaround times and greater flexibility with game design.

"GTECH Printing Corporation has provided us with innovative game content, precise execution strategies, and has been very timely with deliverables," said Ed Van Petten, Executive Director of the Kansas Lottery. "We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of GPC's products."

GPC is the fastest growing, instant-game manufacturing company in the industry and is currently servicing 17 customers in the U.S. and 18 more worldwide.
