ATLANTA (September 19, 2024)Scientific Games reports that the global lottery company’s games lead retail performance in the top three Fast Play lottery markets in the U.S. based on per capita retail sales.

  • Kansas Joins the Trend: The Kansas Lottery is the most recent to launch Scientific Games’ Fast Play products. The company’s high-performance Fast Play games debuted this summer, giving players in Kansas the opportunity to win instantly from a terminal-generated game. Scientific Games has provided the Kansas Lottery’s systems technology since 2018. The company’s advanced data analytics guided the strategy for the Kansas Lottery’s Fast Play portfolio planning and launch.
