Scientific Games Corporation has finalized a new technology agreement with longtime lottery partner LOTTO Hessen in Wiesbaden, located in central Germany. The Company will launch its new SYMPHONY gaming systems technology, migrating the AEGIS® gaming system it currently provides. Scientific Games, Europe's largest lottery technology and business solutions provider, will serve LOTTO Hessen with software support from its tech facility in Vienna, Austria.
