Brightstar Lottery PLC (NYSE: BRSL) is a global provider of lottery technology and services, supporting lottery authorities and retail networks across the United States, Italy, the rest of Europe, and other international markets. The company operates under the “Brightstar Lottery” brand and, while it traces its corporate origins to 1976, it has undergone naming/organizational changes—being formerly known as International Game Technology PLC and shifting to the Brightstar Lottery name in July 2025.
From a business-model perspective, Brightstar’s offerings span both B2B lottery infrastructure and commercial services that help customers run games and manage retail operations. Key product lines include: (1) suites of point-of-sale machines used to reconcile lottery funds between retailers and the lottery authority; (2) lottery transaction processing systems that handle draw and game transactions; (3) instant ticket game production and related services; and (4) iLottery, a digital platform providing access to electronic instant games and draw games. In addition, the company supplies printing services and end-to-end operational support such as marketing/retail optimization, graphic design, programming, packaging, shipping, and delivery.
Operationally, Brightstar also supports adjacent transaction-processing needs (for example, prepaid cellular recharges, bill payments, e-vouchers, electronic tax payments, prepaid card recharges, stamp duty, and money transfer services). This positions the company not only as a lottery gaming infrastructure provider but also as an enablement partner for retail transaction workflows where lottery and payments can intersect.
In terms of scale, the company reports roughly 5,700–6,000 employees (about 5,746 employees in the provided data), supporting global customer service, hardware/software delivery, and manufacturing/fulfillment activities related to ticket production and printing. Financially, provided ttm metrics indicate revenue profitability (net profit margin around 0.10) and margins such as gross profit margin around 0.464, with enterprise value and leverage-related ratios also reflecting a capital-structure profile typical of large infrastructure/software-and-operations providers. The company’s cost structure is likely influenced by hardware deployment, software/system operations, production and fulfillment for instant tickets, and customer support/maintenance; accordingly, its margins and cash-flow measures can vary with investment cycles and game/contract activity.
Key leadership includes CEO Vincent L. Sadusky, who has served as CEO since January 2022. Overall, Brightstar’s “wishes” and strategic direction—based on its public positioning—focus on continuing to innovate in secure lottery technology and delivering dependable, engaging solutions for both players and lottery operators worldwide.
