The deal, which is the result of a competitive procurement process, underscores the longstanding relationship between IGT and FDJ, with a shared focus on sustainable, responsible business practices.

The contract emphasizes IGT’s commitment to environmental responsibility, a key factor in FDJ’s selection process. IGT’s practices include sourcing paper from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified suppliers and using non-toxic inks and coatings, aligning with FDJ’s sustainability goals.

Patrick Buffard, Chief French Lottery and Retail Sports Betting Business Unit Officer at FDJ, highlighted the importance of partnering with a company that not only understands FDJ’s business ambitions but also shares its dedication to social and environmental responsibility.

IGT’s Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery, Jay Gendron, expressed the company’s intent to support FDJ’s growth and sustainability commitments through the new contract, which will leverage IGT’s advanced printing facility and diverse game portfolio.

The agreement grants FDJ access to IGT’s suite of instant ticket games, including the Infinity Instants™ games, which offer flexibility in game design and marketing. The partnership aims to continue providing engaging player experiences backed by sustainable business practices.

IGT has been a key technology provider to FDJ since 2000, supplying the lottery’s central system hardware, instant ticket vending machines, and ongoing technological support.

As a global market leader, IGT serves a significant portion of the world’s top lotteries, highlighting its extensive reach and expertise in the industry. The company’s commitment to responsible gaming and innovation is evident in its operations across various regulated segments.
