LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, Jan. 18,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) expands the company's leadership as
a responsible lottery company by achieving the World Lottery
Association's Responsible Gaming Framework Certificate of
Alignment for its worldwide operations spanning five continents.
WLA awarded the prestigious certification following an extensive
process auditing Scientific Games' continued improvement to
responsible gaming practices across its global lottery operations
for both retail and digital products and services. The audit was
conducted by an independent, international panel with expertise in
corporate social responsibility.
"In the global lottery industry, Scientific Games has truly
established its leadership role in responsible gaming," said
Mélissa Azam, Senior Corporate Social Responsibility Manager,
World Lottery Association. "The company's Healthy Play
program, which provides lotteries with real tools to support their
own responsible gaming programs, demonstrates Scientific Games
integration of the WLA Responsible Gaming Principles throughout the
organization, and its investment in the future of the lottery
industry. WLA is proud to support Scientific Games' Global
Responsible Gaming Certification and congratulates the company on
its longstanding and continued commitment to responsible
gaming."
In 2020, Scientific Games increased its support of lotteries'
responsible gaming efforts with the Healthy Play program, an
initiative to promote healthy enjoyment of games through player
education. Scientific Games launched the global effort by creating
Lottery employee responsible gaming training, customized in content
and multiple languages to ensure companywide awareness and
understanding of healthy, responsible lottery play.
"Scientific Games was already living the principles of
responsible gaming," said Peter
Truesdale, Director of Corporate Citizenship, which
conducted the audit for WLA. "There is a collaborative effort
across multi-functional teams at the company to continually learn
and to demonstrate thought leadership on the evolving topic of
responsible gaming in the global lottery industry."
The company also created the Healthy Play Guide, a
digital magazine available to lotteries that outlines the
Healthy Play program and responsible gaming tools. Next up
in 2022 is a Healthy Play website, customizable for
individual lotteries, and accessible by lottery stakeholders
through a QR code.
"Scientific Games is honored to receive WLA's Responsible Gaming
Certification, which recognizes our ongoing commitment to
Healthy Play across our global lottery organization," said
Carla Schaefer, VP of Responsible
Gaming for Scientific Games Lottery. "We want to give our
lottery customers tools and best practices to help them market
their products in healthy and responsible ways. Our Healthy
Play program helps lotteries educate their players, establish
trust and increase lottery literacy."
In 2012, WLA invited Scientific Games experts to help develop an
initial responsible gaming framework. The company was among the
first in the world to achieve WLA certification as a responsible
gaming supplier at its European instant game operations in 2015,
earning multiple re-certifications over the years and expanding
across all products. The supplier certification framework
includes research, employee programs, product and service
development, remote gaming channels, advertising and marketing
communications, client awareness, stakeholder engagement, and
reporting.
Scientific Games is a global lottery company and trusted
provider of games, technology and services to 130 lotteries in 50
countries. For more information, visit
