Director of Product Development
Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency
Kate has spent over 15 years with the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency (MLGCA) and currently serves as the Director of Product Development. Kate’s expertise and experience has been critical in the MLGCA achieving over $1 billion in scratch sales over the last two fiscal years, a sales total that had not ever been achieved before in the history of the Maryland Lottery.
Kate has excellent networking skills, knowledge of lottery games and industry trends. Kate participates in multi-state game meetings, talks to her colleagues in other states, as well as vendors, to find games that will sell well in Maryland. Kate’s recommendations and research for Maryland Lottery’s Fast Play games has led to the Maryland Lottery having one of the highest per capita Fast Play game sales in the lottery industry.
“Over the past fiscal year, the MLGCA has recorded record sales and profits. This would not be possible without the strong product development and research from Kate and her staff. Kate works across all MLGCA departments to ensure each department is kept up to date on all new games and initiatives. Kate has been instrumental in project management to ensure the launch of new lottery games including the Big Spin ticket and our new Cash Pop draw game.” – Sol Ramsey
