LOTTO Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Awards 10-Year Contract for Statewide Lottery Terminal Modernization

LOTTO Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has initiated a statewide modernization of its retail lottery terminals. This marks the largest digitization project in the state lottery’s history. The German Bundesland launched the “GETI – Get Innovation” tender process, which German IT service provider adesso won.

The multi-million euro contract runs for 10 years. It covers standardization of all tablets in retail outlets, replacing the current specialized devices. Adesso will implement, maintain, and develop the software.

Field tests of the new tablets begin in early 2028. Full-scale rollout is targeted for summer or autumn of that year. The tablets were first unveiled at the 2024 World Lottery Summit in Paris.

Hardware Features and International Presentation

Adesso describes the units as the “first lottery terminal based on conventional consumer hardware.” They include a Neural Processing Unit that can handle AI processing. The full project will be presented at the 2026 World Lottery Summit in Sydney this November.

Leadership on Long-Term Retail Viability

Elisabeth Aßmann, Managing Director of LOTTO Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, commented: “The around 490 lottery outlets in the state are a key part of LOTTO Mecklenburg-Western Vorpommern. At the same time, our customers’ expectations regarding how they play are changing.

“As part of the largest digitalisation project in the history of the state lottery company, we are working with adesso to introduce a new, modern and customer-friendly generation of tablets, which will ensure the long-term viability of our in-store services and integrate them effectively with digital offerings.

“Through this project, we are consistently and sustainably developing our existing processes and systems, creating tangible added value through new digital solutions. With this terminal solution, we are able to make processes simpler, more intuitive, faster and more transparent for both our customers and our staff.”

As reported by Lottery Daily, the effort centers on the state’s approximately 490 outlets as customer expectations evolve. The contract terms focus on practical upgrades without altering the core lottery framework.
