A multi-million contract lost in a compliance twist—Maryland regulators just made a bold reversal.
Intralot has lost its long-standing Maryland state lottery contract after a fresh procurement review by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency. Initially recommended as the provider for the Central Monitoring and Control System, the Greek supplier was later deemed non-compliant with key requirements outlined in the RFP, particularly around subcontracting to local businesses.
Scientific Games has now emerged as the top-ranked bidder, though the tender process remains open. Intralot expressed shock, citing that it exceeded subcontracting expectations and provided thorough clarifications to the Commission. The company has vowed to pursue all legal remedies to protect its interests and criticized the review for overlooking what it described as the most technically and financially favorable proposal.
This move underscores rising regulatory scrutiny and could have wider implications for future lottery procurement processes in the U.S.
