“For more than three decades, IGT has provided our Lottery customer in Mexico with the expertise, technology, and services it has needed to generate results, which ultimately benefit social and health programs,” said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Lottery. “As LOTENAL navigates this transformational period, IGT’s innovative, reliable, and proven technology will continue to be a key driver of its evolution.”
