International Gaming Technology (IGT) announced Tuesday its subsidiary, IGT Global Solutions Corporation has signed a three-year contract extension with long-time partner, the Missouri Lottery, thus extending the existing agreement until June 30, 2025.

As part of this deal, IGT will deploy 175 new cashless GameTouch 28 self-service vending machines, expanding the Lottery’s retailer base and allowing for a more dynamic user experience among players. IGT will also support the Lottery’s launch of IGT’s proprietary “Cash Pop” draw game.
