Upon completion of the sale of IGT’s Gaming and Digital business to affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., Brightstar became a premier pure-play lottery business.

“We have a nearly 50-year history of reliability, innovation and leadership in lottery, a bedrock from which we are launching Brightstar with a

future-forward mindset of helping lottery customers around the world succeed in an environment of digital adoption, shifting player expectations, and an increasing variety of gaming choices,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar.

“Brightstar will be well-positioned to focus on driving innovation and growing the potential of the lottery business responsibly for the entertainment of players, the success of our customers and the support of the good causes they fund in their communities,” said Marco Sala, executive chairman of Brightstar.

As Brightstar, the company will build on its legacy across the entire lottery value chain, including as a lottery operator, retail and digital systems and technology provider, full-service instant ticket services provider, and game creator. Brightstar serves nearly 90 lottery customers and their players on six continents. It is the primary technology provider to 26 of the 46 lottery jurisdictions in the U.S. and seven of the world’s 10 largest lotteries.
