Brightstar Lottery PLC is a global lottery operator and technology provider, delivering comprehensive solutions across the lottery value chain. The company was formerly known as International Game Technology PLC (IGT) before rebranding to Brightstar Lottery in 2025, following the sale of its Global Gaming and PlayDigital businesses to Apollo Global Management. Today, Brightstar operates as a pure-play lottery business, offering retail and digital lottery systems, instant ticket printing, lottery management services, and iLottery platforms.
The company's business model relies on long-term operating contracts, facilities management contracts (FMCs), and lottery management agreements (LMAs) with government authorities and regulated operators. Brightstar generates recurring revenue through participation-based arrangements and platform fees. Geographically, the company has a large global footprint, serving nearly 90 lottery customers across six continents. It is the primary technology provider for 26 of the 46 U.S. lottery jurisdictions and holds significant contracts internationally, including the Italian Lotto and Scratch and Win (Gratta e Vinci) concessions. The United States and Italy represent its two largest revenue-generating markets. By focusing exclusively on the lottery sector, Brightstar provides proprietary platforms and a large point-of-sale network to support digital adoption and sales for its lottery authority partners.
