INTERNATIONAL Game Technology (IGT) lottery division is now Brightstar Lottery, becoming a standalone lottery-focused company as it sells its gaming business to Apollo Global. The IGT brand will now operate under new ownership for the gaming side of the business.

IGT is the parent company of Caribbean Lottery, which, including Lotto Plus, Cash Pot, Win for Life, and scratch tickets, is operated by IGT on behalf of the National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB). Their office is on St Vincent Street, Port of Spain.

A media release from the company on June 17 says the change is effective immediately. Its legal name will remain International Game Technology PLC until the sale transaction is completed and officially registered. This sale is expected to close as early as July 1 to Voyager Parent, LLC, a holding company owned by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc.
