Brightstar Lottery Reports Impressive Q2 2026 Growth

Brightstar Lottery, a leading provider of lottery technology, games, and solutions, has reported sustained growth in the second quarter of 2026. The company recorded an income of $56m and a revenue of $584m for the period.

Key growth drivers for Brightstar Lottery included 1.5% global same store growth, complemented by a positive mix in the United States, as well as Italy B2C digital expansion. However, the revenue was partially offset by factors such as the U.K. service contract transition, lower product sales, and higher service revenue amortization tied to its Italy Lotto license.

Brightstar Lottery's Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4% year-over-year to $286m. The company's CFO, Max Chiara, noted that the company is increasing its OPtiMa cost savings target to $100m by 2028. CEO Vince Sadusky attributed the better-than-expected second quarter profits to global same-store sales expansion and disciplined operational management.
