Atlanta-based Scientific Games' latest lottery gaming system technology called SYMPHONY is now up and running for two state lotteries in Germany under a new contract with Staatliche Lotterie- und Spielbankverwaltung (LOTTO Bayern). 

Scientific Games announced details about the two companies' latest contract in a Dec. 21 press release

"This advanced, modular system from Scientific Games offers LOTTO Bayern the agility to adapt quickly to ever-changing consumer behaviors and rapidly evolving retail and digital sales environments," Matthias Müller, VP of strategic sales and marketing for Scientific Games, said in the release.

According to the release, SYMPHONY is powering Germany's 3,300 retail points-of-sale along with its digital sales. Scientific Games itself provides retail and digital games at all 16 German state lotteries. 

Scientific Games and LOTTO Bayern have been working together since the mid-1990s, the release pointed out. Since then, Scientific Games has supplied LOTTO Bayern with a range of products and technologies.

"Scientific Games is a long-term reliable technology and service partner who not only meets our very demanding architectural targets with their new SYMPHONY platform, but also offers a transformation path facilitating our transition from monolithic to new modular architecture," Claus Niederalt, Staatliche Lotterie- und Spielbankverwaltung president, said in the release.
