Profile for Scientific Games in the API Evangelist network.
Scientific Games is the global lottery company serving government-sponsored lotteries on six continents in 50+ countries. It is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and operates instant ticket manufacturing in Alpharetta, GA and Montreal, QC.
The Scientific Games name and lottery business were carved out of the old Scientific Games Corporation in a multi-step restructuring:
- 2019 — SciPlay (social mobile gaming) spun off via IPO from Scientific Games Corporation.
- 2021 — OpenBet sports betting business sold to Endeavor Group Holdings for $1.2B.
- April 2022 — Lottery business sold to Brookfield Business Partners for $6.05 billion, taking Scientific Games private as a pure-play lottery operator under Brookfield ownership.
- 2022 — Residual gaming/digital business renamed Light & Wonder (NASDAQ/ASX: LNW).
- 2024 — SciPlay reabsorbed into Light & Wonder.
Today the entity profiled here — scientificgames.com — is the
Brookfield-owned, private lottery technology company, distinct from
Light & Wonder (lnw.com, profiled separately at
api-evangelist/light-and-wonder).
