Scientific Games Files Lawsuit Against GTECH

Lorne Weil, Scientific Games' chairman and CEO, said, "It is our intention to vigorously protect our intellectual property whenever necessary. Many lotteries, the Multi-State Lottery Association and International Game Technology have already signed license agreements concerning these patents in recognition of our legal rights and it is time for GTECH to do so."

The patents apply to online lottery games that have an optional bonus wager as a feature of the game. In the event that a player wins a prize in the base game and has opted to make the bonus wager, all of the player's prizes in the base game, with the exception of the jackpot amount, may be multiplied by a randomly selected multiplier.
