International Game Technology PLC (IGT) has announced a new three-year contract with La Française des Jeux (FDJ), the operator of the French National Lottery, to supply innovative instant ticket games. The agreement was secured after a competitive procurement process and marks a continuation of the longstanding collaboration between the two companies, which has been in place since 2000.
IGT’s commitment to responsible business practices played a key role in securing the contract. The company aligns its operations with FDJ’s sustainability priorities, using paper from FSC-certified suppliers, non-toxic inks, and environmentally friendly coatings. This approach ensures sustainable production processes without sacrificing the quality or innovation of its gaming products.
Under the new contract, FDJ will have access to IGT’s wide range of instant ticket games, including its digital platform, Infinity Instants™. This platform offers enhanced flexibility in game design and marketing, enabling FDJ to offer engaging and innovative player experiences. The partnership continues to be built on the delivery of cutting-edge gaming solutions, supported by responsible and sustainable business practices.
In addition to the new contract for instant tickets, IGT remains FDJ’s primary supplier for central system hardware, instant ticket vending machines, and technology support. This renewed partnership further strengthens IGT’s position in the French lottery market and demonstrates both companies’ shared commitment to innovation and sustainability in the igaming sector.
“In renewing our instant ticket contract for the coming three years, we were extremely interested in securing a partner who understands our business ambitions and shares our commitment to social and environmental responsibility,” said Patrick Buffard, Chief French Lottery and Retail Sports Betting Business Unit Officer.
“IGT has established a strong understanding of FDJ’s goals, and a keen awareness of its growth opportunities and sustainability commitments throughout our decades-long partnership,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Lottery. “IGT’s new three-year instant ticket printing contract with FDJ enables us to continue our collaboration, by leveraging our state-of-the-art printing facility and diverse game portfolio to meet FDJ’s needs. We are committed to extending FDJ’s business success with our compelling instant ticket games and strong focus on Sustainable Play™.”
