Brightstar Lottery Systems and iLottery
LotteryFirst PartyAvailability: Standalone and BundledBrightstar supplies central systems and game engines, retail terminals, digital player and game systems, business applications, draw games, eInstants, and instant-ticket services. OMNIA connects retail and digital channels, but each contract includes only its named components.
The group is the lottery business formerly presented as IGT Lottery. Brightstar Lottery PLC is the public parent, while product contracts and licenses can sit in subsidiaries such as Malta B2B critical supplier Brightstar Lottery Cyprus Limited. Procurement must identify the actual bidder and performing entities instead of treating the parent and every subsidiary as interchangeable.
The product boundary is broad, but the lottery's transaction ledger, player-account controller, payment flows, draw authority, prize validation, and data retention have no universal allocation. Those roles depend on the selected central, retail, digital, content, and managed-service modules and must be fixed in the solution design and agreement.
Products
Integration: A lottery can procure an omnichannel program or selected system, retail, digital, game, and service components.
