The Global Draw has successfully renewed an agreement to continue as the sole provider of server based gaming machines for major bookmaker Totesport, the retail division of the UK Tote.

The Global Draw, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation [Nasdaq: SGMS], will provide around 2,000 of its industry leading Nevada gaming terminals to 530 Totesport betting shops. The agreement runs for four years, with an option to extend supply to the end of 2016.

Phil Horne, Managing Director of The Global Draw, said: “Machine income is key to the success of a modern betting shop so finding the right supplier to partner with and help grow income is essential.

“Since we first began working with the Tote ten years ago we have been able to demonstrate our unrivalled depth of knowledge of the betting industry and deliver a range of effective gaming solutions and leading cashbox performance for their shops nationwide.

We very much respect the achievements of the Tote’s management team and share their desire to deliver the very best gaming solutions for players while also maximising this vital revenue stream. To be able to continue our partnership is hugely satisfying.”

Under the terms of the agreement The Global Draw will be responsible for the management of all Totesport gaming machines including the provision of leading in-house games content from its extensive library.

Added functionality via new technology such as player tracking, improved yield management tools and menu management will play a key role in helping shops maximise machine revenues, as will continued training and promotional support.

Peter Burke, Managing Director of Totesport, said: “Totesport offers a broad range of betting options for our customers via our network of shops.

Machine betting is a very important part of this offer and we remain extremely pleased with the product quality and standard of service received from The Global Draw. Together we have developed the machine offer considerably over the last ten years and look forward to building on this in years to come.
