Since Start-Up Core On-line Games Are Tracking Consistently Year to Year

INTRALOT, the new vendor for the District of Columbia Lottery successfully completed a system conversion on November 23 involving more than 522 terminals in retail locations throughout the District. Given the complex nature of a full gaming system conversion, the elimination of DC6 a core numbers game, and the introduction of a new game, Race 2 Riches with virtually no advertising or promotion, sales of core on-line games, DC3, DC4, DC5 and Keno are tracking consistently year to year. 

“As evidence of the success of the conversion, sales have continued on pace and the DC Lottery is very happy with the conversion. We can now implement INTRALOT’sstate-of-the-art technology, and offer new games and faster transaction processing time for our retailers. INTRALOT/DC09 hit the ground running and did so with a seamless conversion one hour earlier than our agreed upon 11am start.” says Buddy Roogow, Executive Director, D.C. Lottery.

This makes the fourth U.S. Lottery conversion this year for the powerhouse gaming company. INTRALOT has invested significantly in the District providing state-of-the-art technology a new infrastructure, and more than 25 jobs to the District for systems, administrative services, marketing, operations, and equipment placement and maintenance.

We’re proud of our local partner, DC09 and its President, Emmanuel Bailey and all the great efforts that our employees, and the DC09 Team have made to create the success that we’ve achieved,” said Tom Little, CEO, INTRALOT USA.

Bailey, President/CEO, DC09.
