International Game Technology PLC (IGT) announces a 12-year contract extension with UAB Perlas Network, promising advanced system upgrades to enhance Lithuania’s leading lottery games.
A Continued Partnership for Innovation
IGT Global Solutions Corporation, a subsidiary of the esteemed International Game Technology PLC (IGT), has solidified its relationship with UAB Perlas Network (“Perlas”) through a significant contract extension lasting until 2035. This extension not only reaffirms the longstanding partnership between the two entities but also sets the stage for substantial technological advancements in Lithuania’s lottery infrastructure.
Technological Advancements on the Horizon
As part of the renewed agreement, IGT is set to enhance Perlas’ central retail system with cutting-edge software and user interfaces.
