“Keith Cash is an experienced lottery executive whose critical leadership of IGT’s instant product operations have not only benefitted our company, but the entire lottery industry by broadening the competitive landscape.

“Being inducted into the Class of 2023 Lottery Industry Hall of Fame is an incredible honor, especially joining so many of my talented peers for this recognition. When I first began working in this industry more than 30 years ago, I never imagined the career trajectory that I was embarking upon. Throughout these years, I have had the great privilege to collaborate with so many colleagues around the globe to help drive the success of the lottery industry and contributions to good causes,” said Cash.

In his current role, Cash leads a team of more than 400 people supporting the core growth of IGT’s instant ticket products and services, while continuing to build its customer base with new instant ticket services contracts. He has played a pivotal role with several lottery startups, including most recently working with the Mississippi Lottery to flawlessly lead the implementation of IGT instant ticket products.

Jackpot Digital, a leading manufacturer of electronic multiplayer dealerless poker tables, has announced that it has received approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) to act as a registered supplier of gaming supplies and services to regulated casinos in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
