Michigan Lottery Got the Right to Operate the New Progressive Jackpot

Scientific games got the five-year contract being $ 4 million worth that gives the right to the Michigan Lottery to run a new progressive jackpot electronically linked bingo game. The new ELBG system will provide players with larger progressive jackpots and it will electronically link, as they say, approximately 600 bingo halls. The new system also means extra security and controlling abilities.

Here is what Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific games said about the contract: “Bingo brings important funding to the state of Michigan. We are looking forward to working with the Michigan Lottery and Charitable Gaming to introduce these game enhancements that will help to increase both revenues and attendance”.

Gary C. Peters, Commissioner of the State of Michigan Bureau of State Lottery claims: “Scientific Games submitted the strongest proposal for this new kind of game and I am eager for them to begin implementing it. I believe the legions of Michigan bingo players are going to love it”.

The Michigan Lottery has been donating money into educational system of Michigan for a long time. E. g. since 1973 it has contributed about $ 12, 9 billion to Michigan’s educational system, and in the past six years the sum reached $ 6 million.
