Scientific Games (SG) has provided Kansas Lottery retailers with full access to its SCiQ technology.
The system features optimised digital displays for a streamlined player experience, targeting improved operational and inventory efficiencies across all partnering lottery retailers in Topeka, Wichita and other regions of Kansas.
Stephen Ortiz, Kansas Lottery Director of Sales and Marketing, said: “Our retailers embraced modernising lottery in their stores. SCiQ has benefited their lottery sales and simplified operations at their check-out counters.
“The system helps maintain game inventory, rather than it being a manual function, and they like the product security the locked SCiQ bins offer.
“The greatest impact is that SCiQ takes the guesswork out of instant game inventory with store-level analytics and insights tied to planograms.”
All digitised displays that SCiQ offers are fitted with integrated digital menu boards, automated inventory management, as well as real-time and store-specific sales and market performance reports.
According to Ortiz, the system is widely sought after among retailers in the state.
“The Kansas Lottery’s approach with our 1,500 retailers is to provide services and seek opportunities to use technology that helps make their operations more efficient and profitable,” he added.
“Once the SCiQ project began with our chain retailers, word travelled like the wind, as they say in Kansas. It didn’t take long for our more progressive independent retailers to ask how they could get this technology in their stores.”
Other than retail point-of-sale technology, SG also provides Kansas Lottery with instant games and product management through its Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership programme.
Michael Cardell, Senior VP, Americas Systems for Scientific Games, added: “We commend the Kansas Lottery for its innovative approach to retail technology. SCiQ has proven to create efficiencies and support lottery sales in more than a dozen US markets and recently launched in Europe for the first time.
“Kansas Lottery retailers and their players are benefiting from our technology-driven, streamlined engagement experience and we are delighted SCiQ is already generating higher instant game sales to benefit state programmes.”
