a communications network. The intent to award follows a competitive procurement with

terminal base with its Altura® GT1200, which offers a modernized, highly reliable, and
easy-to-use sales platform.
Moreover, the contract also includes the Gemini® Ultra Instant Ticket Vending Machine
and ES MultiMedia displays that will transmit and manage Lottery information,
advertisements, and promotions directly to players at the point-of-sale. Ticket-Scan®
Plus, the Company’s self-service ticket checker, will allow players to check the win status
of their own draw-based and instant tickets.
