Hoosier Lottery operator facing $3.6M fine for not meeting sales goalNews Story
By Kate Northrop IGT Indiana, the private operator of the Hoosier Lottery, may be required to pay a $3.6 million fine to the state should it not meet its $300 million sales goal a number that seems unobtainable at this point.

Man exploits Arizona Lottery vending machine flaw, gets $55K worth of free ticketsReply
The computer picks your numbers for you, so in that sense it is RNG through the satellite dish to Louisville. The machine itself, from what I understand and could be wrong, does not in itself have RNG capabilities. You can still do a playslip and it is like that in the MANY states I've played and not all states have IGT machines; some are Scientific Games. Scratch tickets (hello) for obvious reasons are not RNG and the lottery has no idea of which machine/cashier has winners.

PB and MM available on IGT machines are not RNG, nor are scratch tickets. I agree 100% it is a programming issue that certainly red faced AZ lotto officials should have fixed by now.

Alabama reporter documents experience buying Mississippi lottery ticketsReply
Give them and IGT time to iron out the bugs. Before PB MM they had over $7.6 million added to the state coffers. I do find it tragic, even sad that things are appearing to be in such disrepair in Mississippi. Will say we rented a car from Biloxi to New Orleans and roads were in great shape and exits all had modern LED streetlamps for what that's worth.

Will R.I. Lottery win or lose in $1 billion IGT contract battle?Reply
As many of LP members know I'm siding with IGT. Leave it in Cranston, RI. Would Twin River be able to one be able to absorb all of those employees and two would they be able to offer $100K per annum? No to both.

Kentucky Lottery offers new "1-off" wagering optionsReply
IGT agreed with me, starting date was July 29th. I made mention that it did not go smoothly IMO. Have yet to play.

Todd, for what it is worth I found the FB post. It specifically stated that it would start July 29th, 2018. Am wondering if there was some kind of glitch causing them to move it up a week? Will call IGT in RI in a bit to ask just out of curiosity.

Pennsylvania iLottery hits $21.6 million in salesReply
I pretty much agree with every opinion that is said here. Except for Bleudog. You sound like a spokesperson for IGT . Perhaps you should go to Brazil and start preaching over there. See how that works out.

SC lottery error prompts class-action lawsuitReply
Intralot was in dispute with SCEL during this time because the state had decided to switch to another vendor-IGT. So was it an error or deliberate on their part?
