08-11-2007 Scientific Games to provide internet betting platform to New Jersey totalisator

The lottery and betting terminals provider has been awarded the contract to supply an internet wagering platform to be integrated into the New Jersey Account Wagering website 4njbets.com. Scientific Games will also provide a telephone wagering system, including the hardware, software, telecommunications, support and other services necessary to sustain account wagering to New Jersey residents under the supervision of the New Jersey Gaming Authority.

"As the sole provider of totalisator wagering systems to all racetracks and off-track betting facilities in New Jersey, we are delighted to now extend this highly valued relationship to the interactive arena with this contract," said Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Games. "We believe the patrons of New Jersey Account Wagering will respond well to the improved look and enhanced functionality offered by our Trackplay wagering website and will benefit from the consistency and high availability offered by our account wagering systems."

"As the exclusive provider of account wagering services in our state, NJAW systems must be proven, stable and able to withstand the peaks in wagering that accompany major wagering events, such as the recent Breeders' Cup event hosted at Monmouth Park," said Dennis Dowd, Senior Vice President for Racing of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. "Our experience with Scientific Games over the years has instilled in us a high level of confidence in their people, products and services and we have no doubt that our patrons will find the new Internet and telephone wagering platforms to be stable, user-friendly and feature-rich."
