After nearly two decades of service, The Louisiana Lottery Corporation passed up Gtech Corporation and awarded Intralot Inc. a 10-year contract to run new online and instant gaming systems starting in 2010.

The subsidiary of Intralot S.A. said on Wednesday that this contract win marks its seventh United States contract.

Gtech, the state lottery’s current provider, was notified last week that its contract, which expires in 2010, would not be renewed.

“With the selection of Intralot as our new gaming partner, we are confident that the people of Louisiana will be well-served as we leverage Intralot’s new technology and marketing expertise to continue to bring innovative and exciting new games to the players,” said Rose Hudson, president of the Louisiana Lottery Corporation, in a prepared statement.
