WEST GREENWICH, R.I., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GTECH Holdings Corporation (NYSE:GTK) and Dresser Wayne, a business unit of Dresser Inc., today announced the successful integration of GTECH's Lottery Inside technology into Dresser Wayne's Nucleus Point of Sale (POS) platform. Dresser Wayne and GTECH have combined efforts to offer the speed, security, and cost efficiency of lottery ticket sales and services on Dresser Wayne retail petroleum equipment. Wayne and GTECH will jointly demonstrate the technology at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show Nov. 15-18 in Las Vegas. Lottery Inside enables the sale of lottery tickets without a dedicated lottery terminal. With Lottery Inside, a retailer's PC-based POS device connects to a Lottery Inside software application on a network to conveniently perform lottery ticket functions. This will equip the modern retail environment with the necessary middleware applications and open technology solutions required to connect with lottery central system processing. "This collaboration represents a great example of how flexible GTECH's technology has become for the retail industry. By offering lottery as a simple menu option on Wayne's Nucleus POS terminal, retailers can regain counter space and reduce labor through simplified sales accounting," said GTECH Vice President of Corporate Marketing, Chris Lyons. "This is another offering for our Nucleus POS customers to keep our commitment of providing the most advanced technology in the industry," said Dresser Wayne Systems Product Manager, Tom Chittenden. The successful use of GTECH's lottery applications in the retail fueling industry will lead to cost savings, increased revenue, and increased ease of use for the retailers using Wayne's Nucleus POS platform. As part of this integration, Dresser Wayne's Nucleus platform receives GTECH ES Approved(TM) Partner status, a GTECH Enterprise Series(TM) program that ensures adherence to open standards and interoperability.
